Ecto just ate the previous post…let me try to remember my thoughts…
-There was a hint of fall in the air today. This is about the only time of year when I get tired of the heat.
-How do you ever decide on a wedding dress?
-Where should we move after Matt graduates?
-Fish never tastes as good at home as it does in restaurants. I should just give up.
-Jam/jelly reductions make the best sauces.
-I can’t believe I love brussel sprouts. I barely knew what they were three years ago.
-I’m already sad to leave my gym in Atlanta. But I’m so so pumped to get back to my apartment and my TV.
-Atlanta readers: don’t forget to let me know if you want to join Sunday’s meetup.

I’ve never done a jam/jelly reduction-gotta try that-excellent idea!
Finally-I never thought I would be able to find a wedding dress. I had this idea in my head of what I wanted and everything I tried on looked good and I would have been happy with it. Then I went with something in a totally new direction (lace, more form-fitting as opposed to the satin a-line I thought I would be getting) and I just felt like a bride. I felt beautiful. You will find the right one-don’t worry!

August 1, 2012 at 3:28 pmWedding dress: You’ll know. You’ll put it on, love it sick and feel okay about only wearing it once. Just go with your gut. I know all of that is so vague, but it’s just the truth. I never really had an “idea” of what my dress would look like and so when I popped into it and paraded out, it was like a revelation. Pro tip: Bring a bouquet of flowers with to the dress shop so that you can see how the dress looks with a bouquet!

August 2, 2012 at 10:49 pmJam reduction recipe please! Did you just pour jam into a pot and let it simmer down?!

August 3, 2012 at 11:25 amBasically you can use any jam and the ratio is 1/4 cup jam to 2-3 tablespoons water (depending on how sweet you want it) and you just stir it and let it simmer to desired consistency on the stove top. It makes a great sauce for a lot of different things!
