i skipped english (for the first time, we are allowed one) and napped around a bit. petey was asleep on the couch and taury was doing her homework while i read some of "fall on your knees," an amazing book. we were waiting for dena to get back from babysitting.

i was looking through "how it all vegan" for some warm, yummy soup to make, and we decided on "butternut squash, sweet potato and apple soup." petey and i went to shaw's for the ingredients (a grand total of 5.86!) and came back to chop up the onions that made me cry and the squash and yams we had to peel.

dena made her thyme bread while petey and i cut up vegetables and we listened to radiohead. the kitchen smelled, and still does smell, amazing.

we supped together. oh god the soup was like. thanksgiving and fallen leaves and november all wrapped into one. so amazing. we sat at the kitchen table, noses running from the hot soup, and talked our problems away.

it was worth not going to class tonight. i just wasn't in the mood to sit for 2.5 hours listening to bullshit.

instead, we wrestled each other on dena's bed.

i've made a vow to do more cooking instead of just making pasta, a cop out that takes up less of my time.

gimme a call if'n you want in on a beautiful dinner. i know you do.

xoxo.

prove me wrong.
