Yesterday morning I read about Mediterranean cooking and how it's a healthy way to eat. I've gotten way too picky over the years and I looked at the food list and said, "Gross, ew, nope," to way too many things. I'm not a lover of avocado and olives, but maybe I can become one with practice.
As luck would have it, I had just saved a Mediterranean-esque recipe that looked really good and thought I'd give it a try. I used basil from my own plant, and other than deciding to cut the lemon juice/zest in half next time, I loved it. It's called Lemon Basil Shrimp Risotto, which is a remarkably descriptive title, and you can find it here. Travis and the kids really liked it, so I'll move it into my menu rotation.
I also started listening to "Becoming" by Michelle Obama, but fell asleep a few minutes into it. This is why reading to your children is so effective--it really does induce sleep. It's not boring at all, her voice is just very soothing.
I only managed to get a couple more rows done on Adelaide's sweater, but it was a little bit anyway. I'm making "Gidday" by Georgie Nicolson. I'm using a purple/green heather cotton yarn I've had forever, but I really like it. I think it will be too big for her until the fall, but then she'll get some use out of it. She's such a cute little bug (that's not her in the picture, though she's really cute, too).
Today I'll start taking down the Christmas tree. So sad, but I have to go back to work on Monday so it needs to happen.
