new found time

well hello all -- it has been a busy two weeks or so indeed.
a quick note to clear the air: i quit my job on thursday and am now beginning the wonderful Search For Something New. i do not mind, it was time, and i am very excited to find something brand new and exciting that i will love.

now i must find Things to do with my time. i have discovered something- it is one matter to have Time and Moneys. another entirely to have Time and Limited Moneys or Money You Are Careful With. yes yes. my first thought with my free time was, Ooo, now i can start the nesting process and make our place just just so. then i discovered the above mentioned revelation of truth.

therefore i believe i need to have an extra ounce of creativity in which to solve this puzzle. economically do everything i want to to our cute little place to make it just just so.

another past time i have found (alright alright...it's been one day, i know) is spending some time in our kitchen with all our lovely wedding gifts.

i made Martha's butternut squash soup the other evening. super duper fun to make, but not entirely thrilled with the outcome. perhaps just not to our taste. don't worry Martha, i like many of your other recipes, i won't stop here.

look at the fun though :]


prepping


looks so good



i cooked it with the onions, ginger, and garlic, then pureed the soup and cooked it for a twinge longer



scotto stole the camera



finished with some sour cream on top.

looks so good and was great fun to make, but not our favorite soup. butternut squash is so sweet, it just was not our taste. fun nonetheless.

but as nanny would say, We Carry On!
