This dog does. not. care.
Pipes burst last night and filled our apartment with 3 inches of water, soaking both his beds. The floor is still squishy – he just couldn’t take it, and laid down anyways. Poor old man, lying on the cold hard wet ground.

What have I gotten myself into?! A zombie-themed muddy obstacle 5k in July. With the hubbs!

Dinosaurs! The year’s first trip to the American Museum of Natural History.
Saw Dark Universe – the new film at the Hayden Planetarium narrated by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the last day of the Whale exhibition, dinosaurs!, spoke with a docent about Archaeopteryx, toured the African mammals room, flew through birds, strolled primates, found a possibly previously closed room on meteorites & gemstones, wandered through human evolution, and skimmed some Native American peoples. A full day, but a good day. As is pretty much any day we get to see dinosaurs & space.

Forget Honey Badger, this is an animal that gives not even half a shit. Nembu’s decided he is too old to move for the vacuum — and you can just clean around him.
Have I mentioned lately, I love this dog? Nembu doesn’t even play – he does what he wants.

Winter snow meets Summer cookery.
2014 Starts With A Whimper
This is not a great start to 2014. No recipe this week, guys – I was in recovery mode all last week.
My week was spent getting over the cold family brought me for Christmas and recovering from the massive quantity of decadent food I ingested during the week prior. I loved having the chance to share my favorite things in my city with two separate waves of family groups, but damn did it do a number on my digestive system.
Monday’s green smoothie made me so happy I had to do a little dance.
So, this week was spent eating rather simply where possible. We still did a New Year’s Eve dumpling feast (ish. Forgot to buy wonton wrappers and ricotta, so instead of my three favorite dumplings, we had two versions of meatball), but had simpler fare the other nights. Pork chops with broiled broccoli is tasty, but not exactly recipe posting worthy.
Next week I’ll be trying out recipes from the Nom Nom Paleo book, and hope to create a veggie-loaded chili exciting enough to share.
I hope you all had a great first week of 2014 – and I’ll be back next weekend with a recipe to share. Hopefully.
