ring in the new year

things around here

have slowed to a crawl.

i am cozy at home,

eating, drinking, sleeping, reading,

and it suits me just fine.

i have spent time considering this blog,

how it serves me,

how it serves you,

how i want to continue.

i'm taking a cue

from other areas in my life

and slowing things down here, as well.

i'm reflecting on the year i've had

and setting my intention for the year ahead.

a few things to share...

this treasury:

this song:

this post:

this recipe, which i switched up to make this:

my version:

sautee an onion in olive oil

add a brick of frozen roasted tomatoes

add 2 cups french lentils

add 5 cups of water

add 2 teaspoons of better than bouillon

simmer for an hour, until lentils are tender

and these favorite ornaments on my tree:

i'm enjoying this time of year

and i hope you are doing the same.
