Domestic
I wish I could tell you that, since it was almost mostly non-rainy outside today, and we had absolutely nothing at all planned except for getting our hair cut, that we did amazing and fabulous things today. Alas, that is not exactly true, unless by ‘amazing and fabulous’, you will accept ‘ knitting and making soup and staying inside’.
Today was the sort of day where I suspect, if we hadn’t actually had to leave the house to go get the haircuts, we might have just spent all day in our pajamas or sweats. So it was just as well that we had at least one excuse to get out and go somewhere. And then, hairs cut and both of us looking significantly less shaggy than before, we headed back home. We stopped by the grocery store first, and bought ourselves another turkey to cook up, just for leftovers, except all the turkeys available now are frozen, so it’s going to have to just sit in the freezer for a while until we’ve got time to deal with it. We went to the pet store to pick up food and litter, and returned home and lugged everything inside, and although we toyed briefly with the idea of putting up a few more holiday decorations outside (I say that as if we’ve put up any at all, which sadly, we have not), we did not actually step foot back outside the door for the rest of the day.
A day or two ago, Emily had tweeted a recipe for Chickpea Noodle Soup, which sounded extremely easy and delicious (my kind of recipe!), but since this is me, after all, I had to play with the recipe a bit. We got another CSA box delivered yesterday, which meant it was time to clean out the fridge of anything remaining from the previous delivery, so I heated up the broth and then tossed in a bunch of kale and some carrots and celery, and I used whole wheat noodles because we actually both prefer that kind these days. The soup turned out amazing, and I deliberately cooked the veggies until they were so soft they just melted in your mouth with every bite. This recipe (my modified version) is definitely a keeper.
‘Tis the season for Holidailies!
