Back in Action
Ah, Blog, I've neglected you for so long. Living in North Carolina may not be as exciting as traversing Europe, but it still deserves some attention. So here's what I've been up to for the past six months or so.

The tropics
So I know I've been awful about posting lately - and I will be adding all the pictures I neglected to put up - but I would just like to share with everyone the fact that today is 70 degrees and sunny, and I'm sitting on my porch in a tank top and skirt, sipping ice water and listening to Joao Gilberto. I know I bash North Carolina, but this is ridiculous. And awesome.

P.S. We also had a barbecue on Martin Luther King Day. Suckas! :P

Sweet, sweet goodness
So I just watched the series finale of Dawson's Creek with my housemate, complete with red wine and chocolate. Mmmmm....what's yummier? My dark chocolate bar with almonds and cranberries? Or Pacey?
The finale made me all nostalgic for the Dawson's Creek days of my life. I mean, it's an awful show, but it's just so ridiculously emblematic of my teenage years. Ah, life-shaping WB shows. It's so sappy. And so much fun to watch. And doesn't EVERYONE want to end up with Pacey?
Ok, I'm just rambling now. Just thought this was a moment I should share with everyone.

Latest Triumph
So I've been overdosing on BBC America lately, and I've watched a couple episodes of Gordon Ramsay's The F Word, which is this fantabulous show about food, running a restaurant, getting people back in the kitchen, and showing cute shots of Gordon with his many, many children in order to prove that he's not such a jerk, after all.
Anyway, after getting particularly inspired by some pumpkin risotto that Gordon concocted on the last show, I decided to go out and make my own while pumpkins were still in season. At many a point during the chopping, peeling, sauteeing, pureeing, and mixing in of the pumpkin, I had doubts that my grand experiment would come to a good end.
However, I have to say that I have possibly cooked the most delicious meal...EVER. (Except maybe for that awesome Thanksgiving in London.) The risotto has just the right amount of sweetness and pumpkin-y goodness. I just need to bask in the wonderfuless of it all. Because all every cook wants is some validation, right?

P.S. Requests for the recipe will be honored, but I cannot guarantee that your version will turn out as fabulous as mine. That's just the way it works. Sorry.

Food Heaven
I have just discovered food heaven. It's like Whole Foods, the food halls at Harrods and Selfridge's, Willams Sonoma, and the international food fair after Cultural Rhythms combined. Mmmm...
Today I went to A Southern Season, which is a food megastore a few miles from my house. It's got all sorts of ridiculousness - an amazingly large wine section, a huge assortment of international foods, all sorts of gourmet goodies, a bakery, a deli counter, and a confectionery. Of course, there are prices to match the ridiculous selection, but I decided to stop acting like an impoverished grad student and treat myself for once. I got rillette (duck pate) and smoked cheddar and nice wine and bread and even some Lebkuchen. I am so content right now, you wouldn't believe it. Ok, maybe you would. I guess this just proves it - I DO love food more than Nic.
