The Neighbors’ Turn

July 8, 2006 · Narrative

In the last few months, The Husband changed jobs (went back to an old one he loved), I made a big career change and The Neighbor Husband started a new job. That just leaves The Neighbor Wife. I am happy to report that she FINALLY joined us and starts a new job on Monday – wish her luck! I keep telling her that she’s also the only one of the four of us that hasn’t been to the hospital this year yet, but she’s dragging her feet at joining that club — can’t say I blame her!

Taking the rest of the night off tonight, but I’ll be back tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s the recipe round-up for all the new recipes that hit the Sweetnicks kitchen in the month of June. Twenty-two new ones – not too shabby! The first four in the list were definite stand-outs, and the highlights of the month.
