this awesome le creuset 9 quart dutch oven that matt's parents got me for christmas(they just gave it to me when we were down at their house this last week- such an amazing gift. can't wait to use it!)
this cd.matt scoffed as i bought it. "a compilation?!"
mmm. maybe so, but it's good.
so there.
my daughter entertaining herself for more than 5 minutes in the car.oh wait, just kidding, she hates the car and she goes crazy after like 30 seconds.

chocolate chip cookies crumbled over vanilla ice cream with homemade caramel on top.

matt's incredible homemade bread that he has been making lately.i love this man. and his bread is just one of the reasons.
now i am sleepy.
night night, friends!
what are your new favorites?
great favorites....my duthc oven is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteMy new fave is my Kindle (Amazon electronic book). I know -- nobody is neutral about Kindles, they either love them or hate them. I love mine. And the cookie ice cream caramel desert and the salad look fantastic. Maybe you should make that no-knead bread that everyone's raving about in your dutch oven -- I've had it (delish) but haven't made it myself (no dutch oven!).
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I managed to get in a painting over the winter break. Small, in acrylic, only had an hour. But I painted! And oh, it felt good.
julia, matt's new bread IS the no knead bread! and it's amazing. but we use our smaller dutch oven a la ikea. it works fabulously. and i HIGHLY recommend the bread!
ReplyDeleteah, le creuset ... i have the 5 quart oval oven & am guilty of lusting in my heart for a larger, round one ... (same red as yours, though!).
ReplyDeleteno-knead bread is a beautiful thing; so much pleasure out of so little work.
you need a "magnadoodle" for little m--ours finally bit the dust, but provided small Q with many hours of happy drawing while riding in her car seat.
it's hard to be almost 2 and strapped into a seat, unable to move at will ... when i think about how my parents carted the 4 of us around in the 70s, it's all rather horrifying ... loose children in the back seat, riding on the floor on long trips.
I love favorite things, and I love yours! Things I'm loving:
ReplyDeleteI adore Jamie Oliver, too - his risotto recipes are a favorite and it's on the books for dinner soon (we think Viv will like it). His cookbooks are among my favorite things.
Lip gloss. (always)
A certain "Joy in January" compilation that I can't.stop.listening.to. (love it.)
New pajama pants.
love that dutch oven and your caramel sauce...yumminess!
ReplyDeletemy new favorites? the sun! it's supposed to come out today, we shall see!
also i love my baby--she is becoming so fun: def. a new favorite.
i heart 500 days of summer!!! we just watched it recently and i fell in love w the soundtrack...don't mind if i do! ps - i just started crying when i saw the pics of the cookies & ice cream...hate. you.
