there hasn’t been that much cooking going on of late, given the hand injury, the travelling, the much needed breakup, it’s subsequent heartbreak, and of course the looming phd deadline. i’ve always looked to this blog, my cooking and then writing about it as a measure of where i’m at – if i’m writing, it means i’m cooking, and if i’m cooking, it means i’m nourishing myself (and often those around me). and a nourished self is a very good thing. but it’s been a long time between posts, and there’s still not much to report.

except that i have been growing things. through all of the list of things that get in the way of cooking, i’ve been making a little garden on my rooftop patio, and watching the small seedlings and seeds i put in become fully fledged nourishing things themselves. rocket and lettuce and herbs galore, and zucchinis and kale ( <3 ) and tomatoes for summer. watch them grow and grow here: spring! on flickr
