after a wonderful day of practicing, chicken and dumpling soup,
and a quiche and cake date with one of my very favorite teacher friends,
i flew home to chicago.
(and along the way completed my last paper of the semester! yay!)
things i came home to:
1. a new pair of mustard yellow flats sitting on my bed.
2. freshly baked pumpkin bread with chocolate chips.
3. homemade tomato soup with basil from our garden.
4. a fridge stocked full of mustard.
some of the highlights are...
-stonewall kitchen's basil pesto mustard
-napa vally's stone ground mustard
-sierra nevada's pale ale and honey spice mustard
5. little post-it notes all over my bathroom mirror asking
if today was going to be
a schnitzel day?
or
a swedish meatball day ?
or
both?
and do i want to go shoe shopping?
6. a naked hannukah bush,
waiting to be ornamented on christmas eve
(does that even make sense?)
7. a huge jar of nutella
...all thanks to my super mum!!!
you'd think she's trying to get me to come more often or something :-)
today is preparation day for our annual
dumplings of the world extravaganza
read: i get to experience sweet smells of potsticker and samosa filling while i practice marimba in the living room.
and mum gets serenaded by sweet sounds of bach while she cooks up the potsticker and samosa filling in the kitchen.
{it's a symbiotic relationship}
oh and did i mention it's a balmy
negative ZILLION degrees fahrenheit outside?
xoxo
yeh
