scene from sunday night Chris and I had friends over last night for our first ever Mad Men watching and pizza making dinner gathering. Turns out it’s incredibly easy to make pizza — just add toppings to pizza dough (you can buy dough from most pizzerias if you don’t want to make your own) and bake on a pizza stone… The hard part, I guess, is already owning a pizza stone, which Chris does because these things just come naturally to him. I, on the other hand, don’t even have a spatula to call my own, let alone pizza making paraphernalia. My biggest contribution to the kitchen since I moved in four months ago? These simple bistro tumblers I found at Task, my favorite home design shop in Williamsburg, which, I must point out, we use way more often than the pizza stone. photo taken with instagram @ home

my boys in the morning We had a hard time falling asleep last night, so for a change of scenery, we set up camp on the L-shaped sofa in the living room around 2am. Being the less tall, more considerate one, I took the short end of the couch and woke up bent out of shape having slept all crookedly. For a disoriented moment, I became sad thinking about the cats, who like to sleep on opposite corners of the bed like stuffed gargoyles. But then I looked over and saw Monkey lounging at Chris’s feet and found Mittens with arms outstretched, holding down the comforter. The human bean* was asleep. *human bean: first discovered while reading Roald Dahl’s The BFG, though I should point out that the people in ‘The Secret World of Arrietty’ from Studio Ghibli were also referred to as ‘human beans.’

cracker barrel & pjs I’m having a bit of a slow day, but feel somewhat more alive after digging around in the kitchen for an afternoon snack. To be frank, there is a lot of food in the fridge because Chris is on a permanent Mexican food kick. (Tacos, specifically.) He made all the meats and sides on Sunday: braised beef, roast chicken, cilantro-based tortilla soup, guacamole… I’ve been sneaking small bites of everything, refraining with all my might from eating it all in one sitting. So, I made myself a snack of cheese and crackers instead. It was either that or eat Nutella with a spoon because I don’t have bread on hand… photo taken with Instagram at home
