i finally made alison roman’s chickpea stew this weekend, and it was just as promised – easy, inexpensive, and delicious. i made a few changes to the receipe: spinach instead of kale, 1 cup of coconut milk instead of 2; and parsley instead of cilantro because that’s all i had. a little squeeze of lime to top it off. perfect for a cold winter’s night.

i used my time in isolation to clean out and organize my portion of our shared closet. i believe in marie kondo’s advice that you should never clean your family’s possessions for them – it is too fraught with emotion and would lead to a fight.
as part of our renovations, we used the container store’s elfa system. custom closets were too expensive and didn’t seem worth the cost.
i still haven’t switched out my seasonal clothes, but that is coming soon. it makes me so happy to open the door.

i exceeded last year’s goal of reading 25 books by 5, making a 2019 total of 30. i’m going to do my best to match that this year. these are the first five of 2020. my favorite was the testaments. i wasn’t sure what to expect after such an iconic book like the handmaid’s tale, but it was a captivating and interesting continuation of the story.
also, how beautiful is this rifle paper edition of little women?
