winter has finally set in, and with it comes the lack of blogging motivation that only 4:30 pm sunsets and 9 degree winds can inspire. on the plus side, it also inspires the more laborious side of kitchen handiwork; i make raised breads, pounds of seitan, fresh pastas, and every roasted root vegetable i can get my little mitts on. with the hubbs working most sundays, i can cut loose in the kitchen for hours, hollering along to my favorite stations on pandora (today, willie nelson!) and cook up a weeks worth of meals while simultaneously keeping the house toasty warm. one a side note, since the hubbs is gone most sunday mornings, we make up for it by having brunch for sunday dinner! breakfast + dinner = dinfast? brinner?
