i decided now would be as good a time as any to reread the harry potter books, something i haven’t done since i was a kid. i also read the goldfinch for the first time and loved it.

took a week to get out of nyc and dip my toes in the cold cape cod water. never have i been more grateful for this luxuries of salt water, sand, puppies, and reading in a hammock. when the world is on fire, it makes you think hard about your priorities and how you are going to do more, and to do better, to make this a place future generations want to be.

my favorite by far was the people in the trees. one of the first books in a long time that awed me, and i was truly sad when it was over.

i’m flying through books during this self isolation. here are the next five i finished. i sent long bright river off to a friend with two small kids – i thought she could use an escape.
i absolutely loved the patron saint of liars.

chickpea stew

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.
my fiance’s hanging clothes are on the bottom rack
love seeing my bag collection lined up
some more beauties
work and casual dresses
socks and nice tees

blazers and blouses. this picture makes me realize i have sooo much cream
