What?!

Wow, cleaned!

Now what was the point of that, I wonder?

Saturday night of shame

Before leaving for our friend's birthday party, around 9 p.m. Greg and I lay down to have a little half-hour nap.

And then...errrrrrrrrr...it was instantly 2 a.m.?

Yes, we slept through Alyssa's birthday. Us = accidental assholes.

The only upside is that we woke up on Sunday morning at the unprecedented hour of 7:45.

So we had lots of time to make a nice breakfast:



Lima beans with toasted garlic. Scrambled eggs with kale in a toasted flour tortilla. Apple slices. Coffee and juice.

We also cleaned and vacuumed the entire apartment, put a bunch of stuff out on the curb, sorted our mountain of laundry, washed and dried it, did an hour of freelance work, cooked a turkey and trimmings, went to the Met and saw a million paintings, talked to family on the phone, and watched The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Crazy.

Found by Greg!

World's smallest sunglasses!







I'm sending these pictures to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Christmas cactus

I let the minicats play in it.

Crocheting, eating a pear, and listening to the radio . . . in bed

It's always better to add "in bed."

Haven't you seen this guy, like, a thousand times?

(YES I TOOK THIS PICTURE SECRETLY AND NO I HAVE NEVER HIDDEN IN HIS DUMBWAITER!)*

*See Harriet the Spy.

Cézanne

I really think he is the best painter ever.

Then there is "Douanier" Rousseau.

Leopard head: very chewy.

Friends

Edmée and the new guy spent the weekend together.



She says his name is "Exley" (he only talks to her).

Problem solving

Dish drainer too small because you haven't done your dishes for a week?



Just grab some newspapers and a chair!

Problem solved.

Greg

Turkey genius.





Organic, free range, farmer's market eleven-pounder + nine hours of slow-cooking = best Sunday dinner ever!

Next: turkey pot pie.

Found!

Seed pods!



With many seeds in em!



Cool.

Kale season!

It's the best season.

Ideas

Saturday morning memories

Me and Greggy, sitting on a bench.



Drinking E-S-P-R-E-S-S-O!

NEW FRIEND!

He just showed up the other day. I think he wiggled in under the door?



Quite the fixed stare he's got.

This is what happens

When you get really busy and forget to monitor the Netflix queue.



Worst three-movie combo EVAR!

Sigh. Just send 'em back.

More baked apples!

I used the bakeware I found!

Hm.

Pretty sure this is terrible, but I'll let you know.

"Back in my day"

We had these things called trees. That grew pine cones.

For free.

Just sayin.

WHY

I am the worst punkin' carver in the world.

Not scary!

Just weird.

Body parts

CREEPY!

DWI

Greg is one of those people who always has a pen and a notebook, and sometimes when he's had a few drinks he gets an idea for a drawing.

For example:



THAT'S RIGHT!

And...he made this with a Sharpie one night when we had a party:












































Snicker!

Organic happy-chicken

We decided: no more grocery store meat!

Because why add misery to the world? And also it doesn't taste very good.



This chicken: tasty and happy.

Also: $30.
