Certainly Strange

I took the week off to focus on unpacking and organizing, and so I diligently cooked every random thing I could think of in order to avoid unpacking and organizing.

I made pelmeni, using Max Miller’s recipe

I made Schmoo Torte

And, since schmoo torte calls for twelve (12) egg whites, I had twelve egg yolks that I didn’t want to throw away. So I made (twelve yolks’ worth) gelato.

In unrelated news, unpacking has been slow for me for some reason.

We took the weekend off from moving stuff to just relax. We turned in the keys to the old place on Thursday, and now all that remains is to organize and unpack. And there is no longer a time crunch on any moving stuff. So I think it is important to just relax for at least one weekend.

We saw a Cooper’s hawk

And we saw the band Moonlust perform

The venue had what was totally not a mimic

You can trust me

For months now, I have been obsessed with the idea of making a tiramisu once we were moved into the new place. I couldn’t tell you why. It just really captivated my mind.

Well, this weekend, I finally made that happen. And it was everything I dreamed of.
