Oh yuck, I was so sick last week. I really hate being sick. I don't think many people like being sick but this last cold is a real drag. I am feeling better today. Actually, I felt okay yesterday, so I actually went to church and the grocery store. I also made dinner. Pictured above is the fruit of my labor last night - garlic rubbed flank steak with chimichurri sauce served with yellow rice and black beans. Oh my gosh, this was so delicious! My husband proclaimed the meal to be "excellent" and I was feeling pretty good about myself. I got the recipe from Cooking Light and it can be found for free on their website. I guess since they publish the recipe on the web, I could list the recipe here but I have all this fear about the Cooking Light police coming and messing with me, you know?
Anyway, while sick I managed to read a lot, watch many episodes of Monk, and sleep. Also, I planned out a quilt I am going to make. I have never made a quilt before, but I am feeling pretty confident. I need to get to the fabric store and get started since I want to have it finished when my sister comes to visit at the end of September. Hmmm.... crazy, right?

I'm definitely going to try the chimichurri sauce (we've got parsley overload right now) - you asked about herb growing advice...I really don't have much - the one thing we did this year, which I'm assuming helped, was dig out a bunch of the soil in the herb garden and replace it with some organic top soil/compost blend from a local nursery. I'm totally a beginning gardener too, so I'm not quite sure what works and what doesn't!
