No Salmonella In These Babies!

The hubby has put great energy and effort into this project. Lo and behold, the fruits of his labor have come alive! We have tomatoes! Some were planted with great care while others were bought as already growing plants. But it wasn't until recently that tomatoes started to show. This is so exciting. I never had fruit growing in my own backyard. Okay, so we don't have a backyard, it's a balcony. Whatever. They're still growing. We have plum tomatoes, black tomatoes and...um, regular tomatoes. Haven't got all the names down yet. But either way we'll have fresh tomatoes ready for consumption in a few weeks or so. Yay!

Smart *and* Cute

Wow. I'm falling way behind in my blog entries. Can't believe the most recent one was around Mother's Day! Well, just to update all of you, the hubby applied for a scholarship at his culinary school. The scholarship was created in memory of his Chef who recently passed away. In addition to maintaining a high GPA and submitting strong recommendations from instructors, the other requirement of the scholarship required that each applicant write an essay about an event in their life that embodied the characteristics of this beloved Chef. Three scholarships were awarded and Timothy was one of the lucky recipients! Yay! Go hubby!! A well deserved award, I say.
