what i love

1. baby clothes. i will admit it: going through evie's clothes this afternoon to send to my sister, i actually paused several times to "hug" her tiny 0-3 months sized sleepers.

2. watching the food network. cooking / baking. what i've made in the last few weeks: cornbread with goat cheese and grated parmesean, apple muffins, spinach and cream cheese quiche, artichoke/red lentil stew, sweet potato-jalapeno bisque with a lime creme sauce, tofu, broccoli and peas in green curry and coconut milk...yum.

3. reading kurt vonnegut. if you haven't taken up "man without a country" yet, do it!

4. keeping a notebook. mine is quad-ruled, (not a journal) which makes me feel like a scientist. except instead of logging progress on experiments, i'm logging notes from the New York Times, recipes, christmas lists, and so on.

5. this fall--how amazing is it to have a string of 60-degree days in november? then again, that's global warming.

6. having my little family. planning the next steps in our life. on deck: a dog for evie; a home of our own; finishing my degree; moving and all the attendant fun it unleashes.
