there was this one time...

don't judge a soup by its texture

my husband is a vegetarian and the rest of us aren't. he's probably the easiest vegetarian I know though. I can make him anything and he's usually pretty happy. last night I noticed I had a plethora of sweet potatoes. I roasted them and some cauliflower, threw it in the food processor with a little veggie broth and a dash of half and half and called it done. he was hesitant when he saw the baby food resemblance but devoured and thanked me for his new favorite soup. this was mine with a dollop of cream and basil. his had red pepper flakes and a fresh shave of parmesan atop. yum.

food heaven friday

a spur of the moment dinner out with the hubby and his brother...went to a new spot for us (Diablo in silverlake- hipster tacos so good I could cry thinking back on them- pork belly, hello!) and celebrated a 2year birthday of one of my absolute fave spots in la- the piehole. as always the banana cream pie did not disappoint.
here's to random nights out and good food. I'll daydream about those foods while I cook all week. :)

too much stuff

I walked into elsie's class this morning and laughed at her writing piece. I'm always nagging her about her pack rat ways, though it's incredibly hard for her to get rid of stuff, it's nice to know she acknowledges it. I think she added the 'to do' part to show the difference between to and too...don't think that's supposed to be there. I try to get rid of bits while she's at school but you know all hell will break loose when she looks for that one thing I threw out.

here we gooo again!

last night we pored over this dear ol blog and we reminisced. so much has changed within the last few years, no way can I catch up. I discovered I can blog from my phone...being that I primarily use my phone for pix this makes it ultra convenient. I'm practicing today at the Getty. :) since I have over 1500 pix on my Instagram account and I fear it might get deleted one day out of nowhere, maybe I will attempt to post here more. I have tried to close this blog many times, I've tried to turn it into a book, unsuccessfully doing either. so here we go again....giving it another shot via my phone.

I guess I can only post 5 pix at a time thru the app and the dimensions are all wacky. gotta figure that out but it will do for now. any typepadder's that blog via the app, tips?
