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.

our shared closet

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?

i don’t yet have the words for what has happened in the world this week.  maybe i will eventually, or never.  since we are home for the foreseeable future, i will be showing you little bits of the apartment and what we are up to.  we are fortunate to be able to work from home, so i am going to focus on gratitude these days.

favorite anniversary gift by artifact uprising

over the years, my favorite anniversary gift to give has been photo books by artifact uprising.  we have been fortunate to see some magnificent places, and this ensures that the photos just don’t live on my phone.  as a bookbinding freak, i love the fabric covers and thick, matte paper the company offers.  these are definitely books we hope to have forever.

gone are the days i choose to run around at work in 4 inch stilettos (except for my manolo bbs of course).  i tried these on at the dior boutique while waiting for an appointment, and fell in love.  the 3 inch feel is so much more manageable, yet still very elegant.  the black swiss dot is so fresh and looks great with tights.

a cold winter sunday was the perfect time to test this recipe i had saved for so long.  it was a lot of prep work, but the end product was worth it.
