Last night I had company and made red pepper risotto with sausage. It was soooo good. We tried a couple great wines and had a great evening.

Today it's grey and cool...very fall-like weather. This year has gone by quickly. I'm ready for fall. I'm ready for some changes. I'm certainly ready for this year to be over. Next year will be better. I turn 30 in six months. It will be good.

Sunday night dinner: Risotto with Mozzarella, Peas, Parmesan, and Bacon.

Ah, mojo, mojo. How I've missed you, my dear mojo.

I bought green chiles and asiago cheese bread at the farmers market today.

Saw Time Traveler's Wife and Julie& Julia, both of which I loved. I had a lovely weekend so far. Olive and I went to visit a friend this afternoon after Olive had a much needed bath, and we had a great day.

Things are good. I am healthy. I have good food in my kitchen, a clean puppy, a lovely home, and things are looking quite positive. I will survive this time in my life. And I will do it with gusto!

:)

Finally. Back into the kitchen. There is something about the kitchen that helps me get my mojo back. White bean and chicken chili & cheddar scallion garlic bread.

It's good to be back. :)

Well, I did it. I got a rescue doggie. She is just wonderful. I love her so, and she and Izzy love eachother. :)

Meet Olive.
