October: it feels like fall

-
It's been three months; can any of you guess how devoted a diarist I was as a child? (Answer: not very.) Since it is Friday and I'm tired, I'll just give you a series of pictures that describe the past few months. I hope you are all all healthy and surviving isolation! Keep your spirits up because someone (me and probably lots of other people too) loves you. Also, make this soup.

Hello! From me! I'm very proud of my curly hair!

Thanks Dad, Mom, Wil, and The Sow's Ear for this lovely sheepy birthday present!

Perhaps my most exciting outing - a piano concert that ended up candlelit because of an electrical failure. It was wonderful.

Because who doesn't want to see this cutie?

Catching a colorful sunrise one morning.

I thought it would a good experiment to make my own sauerkraut. I have now realized that I don't know what good sauerkraut even tastes like so it's coming home with my at Thanksgiving to be judged by the experts.

This year's first frost, artsy style

Progress picture of Wil's sweater, which is sloooooooowly gaining a big shawl collar.

The UP's Cut River Bridge before leaves started to change. Next time we need to come here deliberately so we can hike more!

Wil at work hauling logs in Gladwin.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin house and grounds - they had open grounds days (not typically an option) because of the pandemic!

Cute hat for a cute kid (conveniently using up my cute scraps of yarn)

Nectarine upside-down cake. Um...delicious.

A homemade crunchwrap is where it's at, you guys. Seriously. Brown up a little lunchmeat (or whatever you want warm). Then put your tortilla in the pan, spread a little ranch on it, pile on the lettuce, onion, lunchmeat, and finally cheese, fold the edges of the tortilla over, flip, and let set for a minute or so. Voila.

You may have noticed that the vast majority of my posts on this blog have something to do with food. I try to bring in travel, work, life, family, weather (I am an atmospheric scientist, after all, and we finally had a big snow here in Madison), but it really all comes down to food. It snowed here! Unfortunately, the city of Madison doesn't pull out the plows until after  the majority of snow has fallen.   On the plus side, our apartment complex looks like Narnia! I once asked a beloved family friend how to make a can of corn, and for a long time after that my specialties were sandwiches, scrambled eggs, and chicken baked in pasta sauce. Tasty, I'll grant you, but boring after a while. When Wil left for Alaska I decided to be more adventurous in my cooking, and I've been pursuing that ever since. It gave me a nice break from the stress of grad school, and now it's a fun challenge. It also important because of my newly discovered high cholesterol (thanks, Mom a...

I have been all over the country lately, and I am very, very tired.  Thankfully, in a few more weeks my semester will be over! I won't have to take classes any more, ever!  Unless I decide to go back for a PhD, but that is a decision that Future Sam will make. As you may have noticed, I try to share my cooking adventures on this blog because that's where I feel most adventurous.  I'll start with my success story from last week: Lemon-Cumin Chicken with a Spinach-Mint Pesto.  I know this sounds like a mashup of strong flavors that will be terrible, and I felt trepidation initially.  However, the marinade and pesto came together easily, and grilling chicken isn't difficult.  The one caveat I will list here is that this dish is not for the faint of heart!  The flavors, while not at all overwhelming, are bold--it's the cumin, really.  If you normally like things with cumin, you should absolutely cook this.  I'll put the recipe and link below...

Location: Cinque Terre, Italy

From Switzerland we traveled to arguably the most beautiful place on the planet: Cinque Terre, Italy. Some might prefer the Caribbean for sparkling, clear waters and tropical paradise-ness, but this has totally got it beat in my book! Cinque Terre, or "Five Lands", sits on the Mediterranean coast as part of the Italian Riviera. The coastline, the five cities that make up Cinque Terre, and the surrounding hills and vineyards are nationally protected and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area has been settled and farmed for about 1000 years, and is known for its wine, olives, anchovies, and pesto. Wil and I tried them, and they are all the best we've ever tasted! Manarola clock tower. By the church in Manarola; the cornerstone is from 1338! Manarola by sunset, so beautiful. The five cities of Cinque Terre are Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Trains, walking paths, and boats are the main connections between cities; I thi...
