Cleanin Up This Place

I finally got around to making the videos from my tumblr fit in the sidebar and while I was at it I made the sidebar a little bigger and a little greener. Maybe I'll do some more cleanin up in a little bit? The blog could use a new header! And maybe some colors?

New Soup

Yesterday Brendan and Jennette came over for dinner and since I'm moving at the end of the month I was trying to clean out the pantry. I found:

3 sweet potatoes
a can of coconut milk
turmeric
ginger
AND it made a delicious soup! Here is the recipe:

BILL'S ORANGE SOUP

Cut up sweet potatoes into smaller pieces, boil for 30 minutes until the skins come off easily. Put back in the pot without the water and combine with coconut milk. Mush it all up real nice and grate in as much ginger as you can. Then add 2 Tbsp of turmeric. Put some cilantro on top unless you are Lesley.

That's it! Great orange soup!

Winter In NY

I landed back in NYC early this morning, took a nap and went to work. Maggie and I are going to start getting ready for Crockentines day next Monday by making a crock pot feast tonight. I keep thinking that winter is over because it's not too cold but unless it's like last year the worst is probably yet to come! This is the sunrise this morning from Broadway Junction waiting for the L on my way home.

FIND A SPARK

Since November I have been real busy trying to put things together, Jess and I are working on a new alphabet book about food allergies, it will come out in MARCH! Also I have been trying to focus with what my friend Naomi R. has dubbed my "monthly mantras":

September: HAVE FUN EVERY DAY
October: SAY YES TO EVERYTHING
November: MAKE IT HAPPEN
December: CHANGE IT UP
January: FIND A SPARK

I have been in LA for a week and a half and tomorrow I fly to SF for 2 and a half dream days, then back to NYC on Sunday night. Today Bonnie took us to NEW BOHEMIA SIGNS: EAST ON SUNSET which was great and now I will try to make all the illustrations for out book even brighter! More blogging 2-0-1-3 I think.
