Just when I thought I’d get back into my usual routine and work flow after taking a day off for the February holiday last week, Charlotte got sick with a nasty fever, and we had to stay home for a second Monday in a row. It was really the worst over the weekend, and by Monday she was feeling better, if a bit stir crazy from being inside for days on end. So we baked cookies and enjoyed each others’ company, and I stayed up super late for the rest of the week trying to get it all done. Here’s hoping the week ahead is a bit more predictable.
Here’s what I’ve been reading and cooking this week:
