Ugh, winter…

I find it so hard to believe that just a few short days ago I was hanging out in a bathing suit on the beach and now it’s forty degrees and rainy!

Yesterday, I was in a nesting mood. My best friend and I made a delicious squash soup, which was something of a miracle, for we have become famous among our acquaintances for royally screwing up every single culinary attempt we’ve made together since the age of six. We can both cook just fine on our own, but together, it becomes a disaster. But not yesterday. Our soup had two kinds of squash (butternut and acorn) onion, carrots, celery, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, sage, and shittake mushroom powder (I’ve now learned, a type of natural flavor-enhancer), and cream to finish. DELICIOUS, as my best friend would say.

I enjoyed the cooking so much that I made a pot roast for dinner that night, which was similarly delicious, and was actually the first full meal I’ve cooked since getting married. I know, awful, huh? We’ve been a bit lazy for the last week or so.

Another wedding picture:
This is one of my favorites. Marley took it. I’ve been trying to recreate that color on my fingernails with my own polish to no avail. For instance, right now, I’m wearing blood red. Oops.

And another one, because I’m weak:
Marley, DK, and me…

And one more, with just a hint of Sailor Boy:
