fall things

this is the only photo i have from saturday night. very telling.

there was a high level of coziness reached this weekend. i put the scarf on top of this sleeping cat to see what he'd do and he curled up even tighter.

note different paw positions in the two photos. he grabs his little face it's the cutest thing ever.

this is how i wake up on most mornings. with a jerkface furball hogging the whole pillow. he somehow commandeers literally the entire pillow while i'm sleeping.

then it was pie-making time. this is the recipe. it was easy and turned out delicious. used two regular pie shells instead of one deep one.

in case you were wondering, that's homemade maple whipped cream. SORRY HIPS! haha that's from an SNL skit my brother and i always quote. "a sex in the city restaurant tour?!? SORRY HIPS!" i'm not actually sorry. you're welcome, hips.

then, soup. this one turned out awesome. what happened was, i had a crapload of crappy about-to-go-soft veggies (mushrooms and cauliflower). so you sautee some onion and celery, throw in some herbs (i used thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano), wait a bit then throw in your veggies.

then i was making swiss chard with dinner so i chopped the extra and threw it in. add some water, simmer for however long, then puree.
