a little update

i'm back a couple of days early! camping was an adventure, but i'm going to rewind a bit & show you a meal i made a couple of days before i left for camping. as i mentioned earlier, i tried out a recipe that rachel posted on her blog for vegan creamy tomato & basil pasta. i used fresh basil from my mother's garden. the dish was a m a z i n g ! i loved it. i recommend you try it : ) camping was an adventure : ) we were camping about three minutes from a town, so we went to town quite a few times for fun. it's a cute town & we went to bookstores (one had cute little red striped baskets for shopping with), a flea market that sold a lot of vintage things, & a farmer's market with booths of fresh fruits & fresh veggies & vegetarian food & arts & crafts (all = fantastic!). here are a few photos: while we were in town one day, i took a clue from some other bloggers & saw inception. wow, i was sure happy i did. it was incredible! go see it. it's mind blowing & intense. joseph gordon-levitt rocked the screen. yeah....i really liked it : ) come back tomorrow for the giveaway winner! (still time to enter)
