My mom sent me an email this week articulating that she was tired of the food posts.
I mean I guess that’s fair. Especially if you haven’t bought into the Downton Abbey themed meals. Out of the last 12 posts, only one was non-food related … and that was my 500th post.
I can’t believe we are beginning to wrap up the month of January. It’s a bit shocking. I’ve essentially spent this month planning for Downton Abbey meals, eating them, and going to Ohio. That’s trendy right? There hasn’t been a whole lot going on. I mean it’s January, what really happens this month anyway?
- thinking about how my computer is running out of space due to all my pictures
- lusting after a Le Creuset French Oven … in Marseille blue
- trying to get my life in order via the postal service (i.e. mailing back things I bought that were dumb. hint, I can’t pull off a peplum style dress)
- rented the movie “First Position” for a flight to Ohio. Get your minds out of the gutter folks. It’s about ballet.
- read a weird book called “Super Sad True Love Story“
- slowly drinking all of the red wine I have in my apartment
- dying from excitement regarding an email from an old friend asking for advice on the monkey bread
- getting an email from a friend/coworker saying her hubs loved the looks of roasted cod dinner from last weekend (hi taylor!)
- still haven’t turned the heat on once in my apartment. what? I have an electric blanket and a fondness for fleece anyway.
There is one other bigger thing that has happened but I’ll save that for until I can properly pull that post together.
Until then, here are some iPhone pictures from the last few weeks….
chilly weekend walks along the harbor
nomming on a half BLT from Flour Bakery in Southie
using some home dried bay leaves that I got in my Food52 gift swap
spending many hours at Logan Airport … including this particular 3+ hour delay
hotel workouts in some trendy tie dye tshirts
trading in my “broken” ripped Patagonia vest for a new version. (p.s. I’ve had that vest since 2007)
taking in a crazy high tide along Boston Harbor
checking in on my seal friends for the first time in a long while
capitalizing on a work from home day with a mid-day run by the harbor
finally finding some amazing food in Ohio. Yep, thats some ale mustard cheese … warm olives… blue cheese drizzled in local honey … and feta with truffle oil. Bam.
snagging that window seat for the flight home
… and finally saying good bye to Abe
