potato/leek soup

while i was at yoga class, adam made us some potato leek soup. it was delicious and i wanted to share..tonight he is making beef strouganoff (not sure how to spell it) and it smells soo wonderful. will post a photo later. i love weekends because adam is in charge of cooking..

big pimpin'

i made biscuits this morning. adam started to be silly, sing jay-z (while trying to piss me off)and dropped most of the biscuits.
thank you adam!

cafe

adam's sister went to costa rica for vacation and brought us back some organic shade grown coffee. we go through coffee so quickly but costa rican coffee, what a treat!

easy bake

last time i was at the supermarket i wanted to buy the jello no bake cheesecake. adam would hate it so much.
did you know it takes 5 packets of cream cheese..

eight eggs (six eggs, two yolks)..to make a cheesecake?
new york cheesecake topping..

i had enough cheesecake for this year.

bright star

Mount Pleasant has a little international festival every year. I coaxed Adam to take me to see Bright Star last Saturday. It is about the poet John Keat's fiancee Fanny Braun and their ill-fated love affair. I was pretty much balling throughout the whole movie (knowing what happens to John Keats). Adam asked, "Is this porn for women?" I heard other people's sniffle's during the movie so maybe it really is "porn for women."
