She’s not sad. This is just her face.

May have gone overboard cooking for one. I also made a salad. 🙊

Taiwan is my favorite country that I’ve visited.

Walkies!!!

When I try to cook this many things at once, something always gets messed up. This time it was slightly over cooking the pork chop. But overall, a successful, healthy Sunday dinner. The mushrooms were the best part.

Got @bogart’s book. It’s gorgeous, and settling in its new place of honor.

I have family in Israel that I love. I have had three incredible trips there, including the very last trip my grandmother made. In some ways, there’s no where I want to go more with Elsa and with my parents, who haven’t gone since the early 80s.

I cannot in good conscious spend money in Israel.

I have had complex feelings about Israel nearly all of my life, but the rightward swing of its government and people in the last 10-15 years is not complicated.

Somehow forgot to oil the grates so this should be a fun one. Here’s to hoping for release when cooked.

Resting

Farm season 2021 commenced.

Down the hill, over the river, around the bend, into the forest, up the trail, and to the clearing where a zen garden sits. At the center of a winding path, a bell and a gnome.

When the farm share gives you too many carrots and lots of peppers you make giardiniera, apparently.

When dinner has that perfect crispy skin.

Hot take: this is very bad.

Doesn’t look like much, but probably the best thing I cooked in 2021.

Storm is coming.

Replanting

Drawing to scale. How’s your Sunday going?

COVID Seder

I cannot tell you how excited I am that Francine has gone from dropping leaves to this.

Getting some Passover inspiration.

Sunday dinner.

I think I nailed breakfast.

Going on 30 minutes like this.
