We made Chicago-style deep dish pizza last night and it was SO GOOD! I made the dough and Bryan made the sauce. I love team cooking.
The crust was exactly perfect — you roll it out, spread it with butter, and fold it back up a certain way so that there are many wonderful, flaky layers. It tasted as good as what I’ve had in Chicago, which was especially gratifying because Bryan has never been there to have a real one and didn’t know until last night how good they can be.

There’s this really yummy slow-cooker stew recipe Bryan and I have been making. I wanted to post about it, but I never got a good photo, so I was putting it off. Then one of my former high school teachers, Krista, needed a vegan recipe to cook for a friend, so I sent it to her and she did the work for me by writing all about it on her always-excellent blog, complete with step-by-step instructions and beautiful pictures.
This is seriously delicious, good-for-you, cheap, and hearty — basically every good thing you can say about a winter dinner.

My awesome aunt Laurie’s equally awesome LA apartment (where I was lucky enough to live for a summer) was featured on Apartment Therapy! So cool.

Oh, and
I forgot to mention that I’ve enabled the ask-me-anything box. You know, in case anyone has any burning questions about butter or yarn or something.

I’m sorry about the photo quality — I was lazy and thought the iPhone would do a better job than it did — but my dinner tonight was so good. Portobello burger with fresh mozzarella, caramelized onions, rosemary, and balsamic vinegar; salad; oven-baked sweet potato fries.
Bryan deserves all the credit for this one.

Pretty sure this doesn’t count as knitting a sweater. Also, I swear I’m not normally in favor of dressed-up animals! I made an exception.
Lily is still a puppy and usually busy running around and being a nuisance, but when wearing the sweater, she instantly becomes well-behaved. My family began calling it her “magic vest.”

I haven’t posted in a long time, so here are a few things at once — Christmas presents that no longer need to be kept secret! I had fun making these.
My resolution for 2010 is to knit a sweater! I hope that’s not overly ambitious.

Found this picture I drew when I was five. It is probably more interesting than anything I could draw now. And sort of nightmarish for a five-year-old, isn’t it? Why does it say BONE?
