Sundays are for

-doing homework while listening to Bon Iver

-sunshine streaming in

-yogurt and granola and bananas for breakfast

-second and third cups of coffee

-talking about and planning for things of spring, like bicycle-riding and vegetable gardens

-taking walks around the little forest by our neighborhood

Valentine's Day love.

 

Yesterday I took a little time to make these heart garlands and hang them in the stairway. All those J.Crew catalogs finally came in handy. I'm thinking I just might leave them for all of February, since they're so cheerful, and since my heart misses the sun cheerful colors are nice. This morning, in celebration of the holiday, I made this bread. Too bad all the rising time meant that Alex was already gone for work by the time it was ready. It will have to be a pre-dinner valentine's snack for him.

Citrus

In January I took one afternoon to make citrus marmalade from this book. I used grapefruit, blood oranges, lemons and navel oranges. It has been delicious in scones, on toast, even mixed into plain yogurt with a little honey...I also thought the colors of all the different citrus were just so pretty...

lunch

Kale sauteed in olive oil and lemon juice / poached egg / toasted homemade sourdough bread  / parmesan cheese / s + p

Alex has decided to start making sourdough bread weekly. I must say, our meal times benefit from fresh baked bread.
