We moved less than some but more than most when I was growing up, eventually landing in Indiana. I'm not going to lie, I despised Indiana right up until the point I moved away- and then I missed it so much I moved back a year later!<BR/><BR/>So beyond my nuclear family, I don't have many relatives here. There is the family home on the northside of Indy. All my significant other's relatives are from Indiana, and they've become a kind of adoptive extended family for me.<BR/><BR/>We're fortunate live in Bloomington, where we went to college, and we both are utterly in love with this town. I consider it my second "home town". :)<BR/><BR/>Also, the patty melt looks AMAZING, and I must make one soon.Lilivatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484748124475558224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-61324407787771234552009-01-17T21:23:00.000-08:002009-01-17T21:23:00.000-08:00This looks so good - I've heard of patty melts bef...This looks so good - I've heard of patty melts before, but have never actually eaten one.
