vacation: day 1.

today is a lovely day for the first day of vacation. lovely because it's miserable and grey outside, making it the perfect day to stay in. currently, i have a pot of soup simmering in my new cuisinart pot (a lentil-vegetable experiment, we'll see how it turns out) and some sweet potatoes roasting in the oven for the gnocchi i plan to try, maybe tomorrow. i've had two cups of coffee and am making some tea, and the cat is cuddled up next to me.



bliss.

p.s. i thought the green background, while previously nice as a photo backdrop, was becoming a little tough on the eyes. i hope the navy is more soothing.
