Earlier this month, I spent a few days in Kansas City for my sister-in-law's wedding (good eats can be found here), had a week-long reprieve before another business trip to Minnesota, survived jury duty, and got completely sucked in to reading The Royal We, a work of fiction based loosely on the lives of William and Kate. I'm a sucker for romance and a good beach read.

It's also my favorite season at the market. I pick up tomatoes every weekend, and am hoping to eat my weight in tomato sandwiches before they disappear.
