I Know What You're Thinking...

....where has Quinn been? Why should I continue to read her blog when she takes one month plus hiatuses (sp?). Well, I can't fully answer your question, but I can assure you that I am back. Here are some of the reasons I went missing:
1. Work started to consume my life.
2. I moved.

3. I was in Buenos Aires.
Evita's Balcony!

4. I had no internet at my new house for a week and a half.

5. The wedding.

6. My camera(s) suck for picture quality.

7. I needed to refresh.

BUT I'M BACK, and ready to share the latest and greatest in my life and hear all about my wonderful readers' fantastic healthy eatings as well.

Soooo, what's new with me you ask? Well, not much except that I have left the District of Columbia for the 'burbs. Bethesda, however, and just a hop, skip and a jump over the border. We are all settled into our fabulous new apartment (two bedrooms that we got for the price of a one bedroom because there was an error in our lease agreement) and gearing up for Christmas - my favorite holiday!

For Thanksgiving my mom and I headed south to Buenos Aires to visit mi hermana (that's Spanish for sister:)), who is studying abroad there. We had a great time. It was HOT! Over 100 degrees each day. The people and culture are just beautiful. The food, however, not my favorite. Besides the steak that is. Buenos Aires has an extremely high anorexia population - both male and female. One of the few things women actually eat there is yogurt. And boy do they have a lot of it! Check out this entire aisle in their grocery store fully devoted to yogurt.


Megan and I in San Telmo's market:


In a fancy neighborhood in Palermo...

Next to the giant flower..
And for Tina, a pug in a basket...


Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things!

I'm a new reader and saw your comment on Meals from the Little Black Dress and then came and saw your went to Buenos Aires. My mom is from their and I LOVE that city. I'm disappointed you didn't enjoy the food! I am obsesed with all the food there and end up stuffing my face too much but then again I love Italian food!
