Vacation was wonderful. Pictures to come. But first, a giant thank you to my wonderful friend M, and  Summer Picnic for all their help last week. You two are truly amazing. 

Meanwhile, back in the kitchen: 

Reading: Nothing, actually. I read three books this past week, though, and the only one worthy of mention is The Mineral Palace, by Heidi Julavits, recommended to me by a random guy sitting at a table in the fiction section of the library. Beautiful and heartbreaking and weird.

 

Listening: The unplugged version of Rihanna’s Disturbia. I don’t know who it’s by, but wow. Talk about weird. And by weird I mean AMAZING. 

 

Making: M&M chocolate chippers, as a thank-you to some chicks who have been just great the last few weeks. And maybe a couple extra for Leprechaun.

 

Cooking: A hodge-podge stir-fry from last night’s Chinese takeout.

 

What’s next: A getting-organized kind of week.

 

Happy Sunday, everybody. I missed you.
