Away for a While

I have a job interview in Indiana on Tuesday so I'm taking off tomorrow morning to go and visit my Mom. We are going to have thunderstorms so it should be an interesting trip. While there I'll check and see what I want to bring with me when I move and what I want to store. I plan on living with my Mom for a few months just until I’m settled with a new job and find a place of my own. I also want to make sure that she is going to be alright. She has a very bad heart and one of my reasons for moving from the Chicago area to Indiana is to make sure I’m close enough to take care of her.

I have a new recipe that I'll try when there. It is my version on Chili Con Queso.
