Lots of cooking

Running in Prospect Hill has been really great. Even though it is sometimes a little repetitive trying to milk enough distance out of the small-ish park, there are still lots of trails and hills to choose from. Lately, however, it has been a little harder to run because of all the fallen leaves, which conceal potentially irritating (and painful) rocks and dips in the trails. Nonetheless, it is great to be on dirt and away from traffic!


Having a nice kitchen and a little extra time, I have been able to practice my cooking. Here are a few of the things we've had the past couple weeks.


Apple pie made with Northern Spy apples from Seth's yard in NY. Seth's mom showed me her pie baking tricks and when I returned to MA I was able to try making one for myself. This pie won't win any beauty contests, but hey, it was my first one.

Veggie dumplings (potstickers). Ignore Seth's face--they were delicious.

Butternut squash pizza with rosemary and spinach.

Very quick no-boil veggie lasagnas (they came out a little flat).
