Back in Action

Wow, sorry about that. I have been completely missing in action, primarily due to final exams, term papers, and a fantastic trip to Paris and Amsterdam (more on that later). But I have returned, with about 76,092 new photos and some unbelievable culinary experiences to share with you. 

I know I've talked about gooseberries before, but I didn't include a picture of the precious little fruits. I still haven't done anything other than devour them raw, but I did some research and apparently they make a mean pie. They're also quite popular in jam over here, and my grandmother recently brought back a jar of it from Germany that my great-aunt made with the gooseberries from her garden. Yum.
