I wrote something!!

But not here. Bad Maddie.

A blog I wrote for ReGen.

This is mostly what I've been up to lately.

Honestly have not been cooking a ton. This may be what happens when your roommate starts dating a chef and he seems entirely adequate (and thrilled) to just be in a regular kitchen after hours of hectic restaurant world. When I have cooked it's been clean out the refrigerator stuff...baked pasta with random ends of cheese... my standard winey veggie soup...all tasty but in no way noteworthy. Marianne and I have begun a tradition of weekend Prosecco mimosas and HGTV marathons. We love House Hunters. Just LOVE it. Don't tell anyone, but last weekend we went to Taco Time after our 2nd mimosa and it was glorious. High school adventures on Rainier with Marianne and that clunky gray Volvo came flooding back and I was oh-so-content.

Feel sort of bad to have neglected this little blog. I received some really flattering praise from our food consultant, Becky about my blog on the ReGen site. I like writing when it occurs to me...but the real benefit for me with blogging is that my head gets nicely organized...It's like regularly cleaning out your closet or something--only with your brains and thoughts and worries and inklings. I walk away with a bit of clarity and an awareness that I've saved some little moment for myself for later.. I guess that means I should continue trying to keep my shit together here.

Be back soon.
