Scenes from Life
A few random photos from the last couple of weeks:
Reading about artists and drinking coffee; if this were a job, I bet I'd be over-qualified.
It was so foggy this day that I could barely see the buildings on our block.
I made tomato soup from this recipe, except I substituted low-sodium vegetable broth for chicken broth, cut the butter in half, used half and half instead of cream, and added a bit of pepper. Even with all the changes, it was still a very rich soup. If you wanted to make it even healthier, you could probably use milk instead of half and half, and I'm sure it would still be good.
My birthday was on the 10th, and my boyfriend brought home a pumpkin cheesecake from Pâtiserrie Poupon and Leonidas chocolates. So amazingly good. I'll share my presents in another post.
