Snow day!

So.

What do you do when your refrigerator turns your newly purchased head of Cauliflower into a solid chunk of ice;

more suitable for bowling than eating?

Why, you make Cauliflower Curry soup.

The recipe, thrown together last minute, requires: 

1 head of Cauliflower (Frozen. Or not...)

1 Onion

3 small Carrots

2 medium cloves of Garlic

Curry, to taste

Cumin, to taste

2 cups of Chicken Broth

2 small Bay leaves

Salt and Pepper.

Cut up the Cauliflower, Onion, and Carrots. Whatever size you like. 

Mince the Garlic. 

Add the vegetable and Garlic to a pot and sauté in a bit of Olive oil. Then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook until vegetables are tender and the whole thing is fragrant. 

Remove from heat. 

Remove Bay leaves. 

Puree. 

Mix in half a can of Coconut Milk. 

Serve with Basmati rice, fresh Cilantro and drizzle of Tamari.

I ended up reading this book in an hour and a half last night.

I figured that would be the 'Parisian' thing to do.

If embracing messy hair, unbleached teeth and park bench day dreaming are also the 'Parisian' 

thing to do, I say, count me in...

Or, Vive la vie Parisienne, I guess.

Now that it is November, 

the official start of what I like to refer to as 

“list season”, 

here is my, wait for it, 

most recent list…

Things I am ready for;

Swirling, gossamer snowflakes illuminated in the golden glow of the street lamps.

Coconut milk "Egg" Nog.

Flannel sheets, flannel shirts, flannel everything.

Baths before bed, simply to warm up.

Snuggling.

The smell of woodsmoke.

Plans for Paleo pies.

Things I am not ready for;

All. The. Holiday. Commercials.

My daughter singing Carol of The Bells over and over and over.

Shoveling.

My husband gone all weekend snowboarding.

Numb toes in the car.

’Tis the season…
