Tick tock.

Change of plans. I've been forced to abandon my theme idea for the summer. Why? Because searching for exotic sounding recipe names takes more effort than one might think and I suddenly won't have the time to do it. And why is that? If you don't know me outside of BornToCrock, you have no idea that we've been trying to sell our house for over a year. You also have no idea that we finally got an offer and have a little over a month to find a new place to live. So...for the next month-ish, I'm going through my cookbooks and crocking whatever the hell I want.
