2012, Week Forty-Six

And the year just keeps moving forward.

Cornbread with Squash and Chorizo
Nov 11 – I made an experimental dinner Sunday night: cornbread with squash and chorizo baked into it. It was yummy!

Ultimate Winter Couscous
Nov 12 – Last week was a cooking week, and I was obsessed with recipes from Ottolenghi’s Plenty. This is the Ultimate Winter Couscous and it was kind of amazing. So full of flavor and texture!

Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Mango
Nov 13 – Ottolenghi meal number two: Soba Noodles with Eggplant and Mango. So, so good. If you don’t already have this cookbook, you should rush to the bookstore now.

Bike in the office
Nov 14 – I finally got my bike fixed up (just in time for the rainy season) and I rode to work last week. My bike is a little big to fit comfortably in my cubicle.

Chili with Garlic Sauce
Nov 15 – Thursday night I made chili to bring over to a friend who is out of commission for awhile. Sean and I are both obsessed with this garlic sauce I picked up at Whole Foods. It’s very lemony and garlicky, and we are putting it on almost everything.

Friday Morning in Oakland
Nov 16 – I am loving this grey, rainy weather. And I love walking past this building every morning on my way to work.

Morning light
Nov 17 – The light in our apartment Saturday morning was kind of gloomy and moody. I love it!

We are heading to San Diego tomorrow for Thanksgiving, and I cannot wait. Expect lots of pictures of my baby girls next week. 🙂
