Bloomin' Bread

I will make this tonight and I will love it....





Bloomin' Onion Bread

1 unsliced loaf sourdough bread
12-16 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup finely diced green onion
2 teaspoons poppy seeds

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust. This can be a little tricky going the second way but the bread is very forgiving.

Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Insert cheese slices between cuts. Combine butter, onion, and poppy seeds. Drizzle over bread. Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Little Ole Misser

I I went to Oxford this passed weekend to visit Bartow, flew in Friday afternoon and his wonderful self and noble steed (F150) drove to Jackson to pick me up. I was there til Monday evening. I had a BLAST! I love him so much and it's crazy / great how much we are realizing more and more that we want to spend the rest of our lives together.

I was there til Monday evening. I had a BLAST! I love him so much and it's crazy / great how all this time apart is maturing our relationship and I just want to start my life with him already!
*Cue Beatles' "Wouldn't it be Nice"*

Whilst in O-town, some shennanigans went down. Shennanigans including Bartow shooting headphones:

And I ran into a lot of people I was so glad to see!! Like this little lady:

Leslie and I at The Cellar Friday night


And wouldn't you believe it, Abi and her boyfriend Justin were at lunch Sunday afternoon and ran into Bartow! Well, a blonde version of him at least:

Creepily similar posture, face, stature, style, cheeks as my boyfriend...

It was a great weekend!!

An American in Paris


So I may or may not be going to Paris in April with Bartow!! I am so excited! His mom is renting an apartment and living there to engulf herself in the culture and speak the language...of course to shop and eat and be fabulous as well. Dee (Bartow's dad) is visiting her for a week and she wants Bartow and I visit also, and if all 4 of us are there at the same time, how much fun that would be!
I'll keep you updated though on whether or not I can go or will go, and if so, when I'll go!
