mother’s day

Filed under:— Chris @ 9:52 am

We had a nice afternoon on Sunday at my parents' place for mother's day.

Amanda and I went to the store and bought stuff to make a big meal. We made a huge giant pot of chicken cacciatore.

The appetizer we made is one of our new favorites -- "insalata caprese" which translates roughly to "salad of capri". It's just really really fresh mozzarella sliced in half, tomatoes (we used cherry tomatoes), fresh basil, and olive oil. epicurious.com says not to use any balsamic vinegar because it would "destroy" the taste of the mozzarella, but we added a splash with the olive oil. What do they know anyway?

modest for a reason mouse

I'd just like to say that Modest Mouse's music makes me want to puncture my eardrums with a sharp object.

That is all.

new apartment!

Filed under:— Chris @ 10:56 am

I haven't made an update in a while, and the reason is that we FINALLY found a new place and have been overwhelmed in preparation for the big move.

We found a very nice 2-bedroom apartment that is basically the bottom floor of a house. Hardwood floors, fireplace (non-functioning, but hey, free mantle), basement storage, washer/dryer. It's great.

The only thing it doesn't have is a dishwasher, which will be an interesting adjustment for us.

Hooray for having space to put our stuff!
