Day to Day Life: Week 4

We start off the week with homemade sourdough pizzas to feed my husband’s band, post-rehearsal at our house. Garlic crimini+cashew pesto / smoked salmon+fontina+red onion+capers with creamy lemon dill sauce/ homegrown jalapenos+pineapple / artichoke heart+feta+spinach+sun dried tomatoes.

Scones modified from the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. Recipe coming soon.

7AM around here: dog, coffee, hooded hairs, watching above scones bake. I am not into mornings often.

Silas likes to tell me, “Nikki is a lesbian. She has a crush on you. And has to always touch you.” It appears I can’t argue his logic. This is what it looks like when I edit photos, write posts, do the dishes, fold laundry, wake up, go to bed, etc. Always.

There was a brutal game of Apples to Apples Junior one night. Guess who won? Mmm hmm.

It’s hard being 14. Apparently.

Whole wheat sourdough babies to go with corn chowder that will find its way to this blog soon enough…

Baked barbeque tempeh… a successful experiment.

Favorite: Worthless – band-aids, Abraham Lincoln, a dollar. Choose wisely.

My week has consisted of one million of these… raspberry Emergen-C with berry sparkling water. Absolutely not engaging in feeling like I’m getting The Sick that’s going around.

How to feel like you’re 7? Let your kid decide what is for dinner. Bunny mac with veggie dogs. Greens for adult measure.

Seems pizza is necessary this week… Pizza toast! On charred (no, not burnt) red pepper sourdough bread. So easy, so good.

Dinner condiments ala Ruby’s Neighborhood Restaurant in Ashland. We don’t eat out often, but last night we ate at Ruby’s, which quickly became one of my favorite places as soon as we tried it a few months back. Their house-made sauces are killer. Here we have Jesus Chocolate, Imperative Sunshine, Quiet Storm and their Rooster Sauce. Go there now.
