So, the reason I haven't had a chance to upload any pictures lately was due to the fact I was trying to close on my first home - this condo in San Diego. Well, it finally went through, and even though I don't have any furniture, it is nice to finally have a place to call home.

 

Expect a deluge of pics as I miss getting out there and shooting! It was really difficult there for a couple days with no internet or Flickr.

Our living room. There's a big table right by the window, perfect for studying Level 1 Korean while gazing out at the garden....

I don't even like turkey that much, but this one was SO moist. It's Alton Brown's "Good Eats" recipe.

 

(Brine. Always brine your turkeys, people!)

I can't even make a joke here such as, too bad husband's presence ruined this otherwise adorable photo. They're both too cute.

Chocolate crinkles

This bloom is so beautiful it's nearly glittery. Actually, it *is* glittery.

I made Chicago-style deep dish pizza for our Superbowl party -- in honor of the Bears, of course.

 

Each contains one full pound of cheese -- mozzarella and provolone. It's the Gino's East recipe, with the cornmeal crust, as modified by the Frugal Gourmet.

Husband's move.

 

Hudson, Ohio, USA, June 2008.

After much angst, I decided to do brown accents. The curtains tie in the chocolate brown with a stripe.

 

I am getting ready for a housewarming party next weekend so am putting the finishing touches on the house. Plus, my friend Donna has been bugging me for pics. Since I figure she is sitting down in Texas bored, I decided to post some.

 

More to follow Donna!

She knows she is not supposed to be on the sofa. But she is all, "Bitch, I'm up here anyway."

I lined all of them up on the counter, real dork-like.

 

This should take care of all my specialty flour needs through the rest of the Bread Baker's Apprentice challenge. (Except the whole wheat flour; I don't consider that "specialty" and just threw that in with the order because I was out.)

Rem doesn't want to be my model today.

 

We are so excited about this. :) The light isn't perfect - it's a more springy, Granny Smith-appleish green, but you get the idea.

 

I've never had a new sofa before, always getting hand-me-downs from Mom & Dad. The most recent - the blue one - was the first thing they'd purchased after getting married. I was oddly emotional watching it go, but then again, it's been around my entire life. There are many memories attached to that old blue sofa, but it was far too soft and bouncy for my back.

 

We needed something firm, akin to sitting on an upholstered rock - we found it! We really like the 40s throwback style, and the feet just happened to match my coffee table. :)

I love this photo. Sheer luck that I was able to capture it.

 

Crunchy peanut butter dog treats

This is the second year I've had this bulb. It wasn't as happy last year, so I switched it to a south-facing window. It is now loving life, and rewarding me with gorgeous red blooms that are providing a much-needed boost in frigid February.
