Home again, home again, home again. Back to an ever-growing pond in front of my house. Back to wildly unpredictable weather. Back to the farmers market. Back to work.
I'm gonna get this out of the way first: You won, Red Sox fans. I still think the Indians are a better team. Yeah, yeah, you've got your "power-hitters" and your Josh Beckett (who is frighteningly good), but when the Indians are on they play like a team--not relying almost entirely on 3 people to get runs, but chipping away strategically and loading bases. I wish you all the best of luck in the series. Tradition requires me to "root" for the Sox though the prospect of the Rockies winning the series for the first time does appeal to my underdog tendencies. Regardless, I'm done with baseball season.
I've just finished reading Ruth Reichl's "Tender at the Bone." Not a fantastic book, but a good read for a foodie like myself. I finished reading it last night whilst making a concoction I'm so proud of I almost can't stand it: roasted spaghetti squash rubbed with olive oil and garlic, 2 "chicken" breasts, handfuls of fresh thyme, rosemary, and sage, parmesan cheese and roasted kale. I missteped by adding the kale too soon, but this recipe is a keeper. The market was surprisingly good this week: 2 kinds of squash for $2.50, a huuuuge bunch of kale for $1.00, eggplant, potatoes, peppers, grapes and autumn gold raspberries (delicious with nutella on toasted ciabatta!). I also caved a bought organic butter but was smart enough to put half of it in the freezer to keep me from consuming too much at once!
Bad news re the press: It sounds like the artist isn't going to be able to make the deadline. I was a little concerned about this when he first mentioned needing to get a portfolio together by January, but he was feeling pretty confident at the time. Reality has hit and it looks like it's not going to happen. We discussed going ahead with just poetry, but I'd really like to combine illustrations so I'm going to see where things stand in January.
The move, however, is still on so far. We're looking at a mid-November move if all goes well with the stove and the cleaning and such. Everytime I think about it I get a little giddy. The upstairs is so superior to the downstairs. There's so much more space and it's so much more private. I can deal with slanted ceilings and no cupboards in the kitchen. It's a tradeoff for huge windows in the trees and space for 2!
