oo da la li

sometimes, the sky threatens to fall,

you wake up feeling like the world is ending,

(or that it should),

nothing seems important or interesting...

so i put on gloves and deep-cleaned the house.

and by that, i mean mopped and cleaned out

the microwave.

then, i went to whole foods and splurged on organic apples,

garlic-stuffed olives and a white english cheddar. 

i also made  acorn squash. 

which is maybe supposed to be a winter vegetable.

but i kind of feel like breaking the rules right now. 

:)

red, red

vina borgia. 

i'm not a big wine drinker, even though i have many fond

memories of evenings of wine and cards 

at the grandparents' over Thanksgiving.

i can't even really drink much, 

owing to an allergy to alcohol, 

but sometimes, i like to drink some

anyways. usually, i'm disappointed, 

since i can't exactly afford the "really good" 

wines. but this Spanish wine was really nice

and surprisingly so, considering its price tag! ($8)

good surprises are so nice.

one, two, three, four!

pizza!!!!

apparently, we really love pizza. i mean, really love it.

like, love it so much we realized that we actually have four empty pizza boxes 

waiting to be thrown out. from this week alone. it's a little scary. 

to be fair, the thing that happened is...

we ordered pizza last weekend. normal, right?

then, it was $8 pizza day at Whole Foods on tuesday, so...

then on friday, our normal friday night plans fell through, and we 

found ourselves with a night all to ourselves. what did we do? 

Got more pizza at Whole Foods. 

Yesterday, we discovered that after only eating three slices friday night, 

we had accidentally left the whole pizza sitting in the cold oven all night. 

sad! well, we were so sad that we just had to order another pizza. 

and that's the story. 

i have no good explanation for the madness. 

if you could only eat one thing for a week, 

what would it be? 

i choose pizza:)

dîner à deux.

amazing picnic dinner 

(via Whole Foods)

if you don't know, we live in the tiniest one bedroom apartment ever.

okay, that's not entirely true. We do have a wonderful walk-in closet, 

to which many of my class essays are in-debted (more on that later). 

But, there was sadly no room for our dining room table when we moved in, 

so it is currently disassembled and hiding in the aforementioned closet. 

all that just to say that we eat dinner japanese style at our coffee table every night, 

and here is the amazing picnic-esque meal that we ate for dinner: 

our chief saturday outing/entertainment was to Whole Foods,

where we picked up another bottle of italian soda, 

plus some olives for our cheese and crackers! olive olives:)

but so many dollars are needed to buy things at Whole Foods! :(

also, i'm currently loving salads chock full of veggies, berries, seeds, cheese. 

P.S. notice Lars staring at our food. he is in such denial.
