I’ve been trying to take more walks lately. I’m thinking audiobooks will help, but I’m not sure if I can focus on them enough to actually get anything out of the book. I think I’ll start with someone entertaining, with an engaging voice, like Sarah Vowell.

I finally watched Breaking Dawn today. I’m such a sucker for romance – the wedding was beautiful, and I feel like we finally get to see Edward and Bella’s love for each other in a positive way, instead of just turmoil and angsty faces. I don’t think the earlier films captured that enough. Also, Robert Pattinson speaking Portuguese? Dreamy. I’m a nerd, but you knew this already.

I made a kale, potato and sausage soup out of things we had hanging around the kitchen. I really feel like Tamar Adler’s book has empowered me in my own kitchen. Between her and Nigel Slater, I am constantly inspired.

One of the best things about having a gas stove is that you can toast marshmallows any time you want. And then you can make a smore with Nutella and graham crackers.

We watched The Fall this weekend. It was so amazingly good – I cried so freakin’ hard, and it was just beautifully done. I highly recommend it.

Today’s soundtrack: Lo-Fi. Gotta love Sophie Koh.
Hope you all have a great week!
