to be roasted
I’ve got about half of the kitchen packed… but I left some key items out to use. Wish I was using them. I haven’t been cooking lately, which is pretty depressing. I’ve been too busy finishing up last minute projects at work, so I’ve basically been living on coffee and quick lunches, with the occasional roasted vegetables and rice for dinner. pictured are some veggies destined for roasting.
I can’t wait to unpack my kitchen at the new place!

Pardon the long gap between posts. I don’t think I mentioned this before, but I’m moving. To New York. In a few weeks.
Lots has to happen before 11/23, and between finishing up projects at my current job, packing, trying to see all my friends before I leave, and squeezing in a week at my mom’s in NM, I’m really not going to have a lot of free time prior to the move.
In the interim, behold the espresso cups I just bought, that I have been wanting since they came out in 2004. I spent more than I care to admit on them, but they conjure memories of going to an art supply store with my Pop as a kid, and I’ve been in love since the moment I saw them.
Are there any dishes or implements that you had to have because they remind you of someone? I’d be interested to hear about said items.
