Mahlzeit!

This week included more silly conversations, great meals, and cat time! I have a lot of studying, so I will have to keep this brief - but I hope all is well wherever you are. Enjoy the pictures (many captured by PM).

Definitely the most alert member of the house on Monday morning

Butternut Squash Risotto in the making! 

Delicious! 

Don't worry Marisa, Zoe will help you finish your dinner! 

Mrs. Palfini's chili recipe is fabulous! Cheese, cilantro, and corn bread make it a meal fit for a king!

We heard Sherman Alexie talk on Wednesday night - incredibly funny while covering poignant topics.

The little miss found a new resting spot. 

Pad Thai Thursday (and more cilantro!)

The inaugural time she sat on my bed on her own accord. Couldn't be happier!

This week Al made Norwegian food - Risgrot (rice porridge) with butter, cinnamon, and raisins. 

"I'm taking your picture - don't look at me!" Mini book making at the Fine Arts House.

Ta-Dah!

Zoe drinking her cold Brita-filtered water. 

Enjoying left over cornbread with Zoe. 

Saturday is individual pizza night, and Rachel is digging in! 

Pineapple and basil for Marisa!

Mediterranean theme for me! 

Katie brought cake! It was spongy and full of delicious fruit. 

An afternoon Baroque flute and harpsichord concert. Beautiful! 

Safeway got pretty creative! 

Zoe hanging out with her newest buddy, Papa Moose. 

And it was all green. Homemade pesto! 

Well, that's all she wrote, for now. Enjoy the week, bon appetit!
