Warm & Fuzzy

Got to bed around 10:30, and Edie slept through the night, but sleep was interrupted several times by Baby Mil. Woke up feeling a little warm and fuzzy (not in a good way), and after getting Edie to school, got a healthy smoothie down, did some essential prep then got a few hours of sleep in before eating a sandwich and riding my bike in the rain to Red Hook to teach.

Last week was a bit stressful, but this week the class went great -- 8 recipes in quantity in preparation for serving Thanksgiving to the school next week, went very smoothly. Rather than have an awkward meal of bits and pieces, my supervisor ordered in a couple of pizzas for us, it was a nice change of pace.

When I got home, snuggled with Edie but she insisted Betsy put her to sleep. For the first time, a night nurse came to look after Milli Mil while Betsy & I got a proper night's sleep.

I brought this home from school, we made it last week, and DAMN is it good. It's a relatively easy recipe from c-school I've had my students make to demonstrate different grains. It's an Italian version of Spanish "Soupy Rice" made with whole wheat kernels, a lot of chicken stock we made ourselves, and fennel -- potato, beans and sausage are secondary players. Very filling, very real.
