Last night we watched Spirited Away and made absurd amounts of pancakes. Perfect! And Chris came over while I was in the kitchen and we discussed business while I baked amid stacks of breakfast foods and dirty dishes, ahh.I'm in love with fall food. It's the one thing I can focus on and really love about this coming cold, since new scarves, boots, tights and jackets elude my spartan budget. But for $5.69 at market, I got five lbs of potatoes, three big apples, four lumpy pears, two gigantic green bellpeppers, a carton of baby spinach, and four large kiwis! I want to learn a delicious squash recipe, since those are so cheap, and also take advantage of inseason sweet potatoes, corn, cranberries...Oh man! Fall and winter produce! A season of abundant Thanksgiving! Thank You!
Yesterday I deposited my summer bonus check at the bank (yayyyy) and ran to the library to swap out (mostly) DVDs. I now have four old favorites: Laura (a film noir that influenced Twin Peaks), Sullivan's Travels, My Neighbor Totoro, and Whisper of the Heart. Yippee! Autumn is looking all right with these kind of provisions.
