I broke my Sunday “pjs only” rule today to meet friends for Mexican at a not-that-new-but-new-to-me place in my neighborhood. The enchiladeas suizas were worth being dressed & in public & inspired today‘s haiku.

Worth Getting Dressed For

Broke my Sunday rule
Left pajamas far behind
Enchiladas called

Last week was a week full of emotions. My 10 year old daughter has been dealing with stomach pain & nausea for the last 2 years. Initially it was thought that it was celiac, but the tests came back negative. An ultrasound of her abdominal area was also negative. The GI dr we saw in Boston chalked it up to anxiety. When we moved to MD last year the pediatric group we‘re with also chalked it anxiety also. On a recent visit for another reason we‘d

1. A 5 star listen
2. Pink skies and trail walks
3. Grounding myself under the big moon
4. Successful tonsillectomy for college kid, silly poses
5. A job offer I didn‘t take
Bonus - surviving another year of grief as I celebrated my mom with a Big Mac. The things you do for love 😘

My son brought home a "hunting trophy". ??

I‘m going to try to get back on track with my daily haikus since October went a bit off the rails. Today‘s is inspired by breakfast with an old & dear friend where we caught up at a neighborhood spot we hadn‘t been to in ages.

There‘s comfort in things staying the same, the same abruptly friendly service, same coffee & biscuit with honey butter…

Nostalgia served warm,
Comfort friend and comfort food,
Heartfelt Saturday

1. Finished October hiking challenge with 48+ miles 🥾 🐿️ 🍁
2. Halloween event at Old World Wisconsin - cool twist on the holiday
3. My husband‘s Halloween birthday with a trip to Lambeau Field and supper club
4. Movie with a friend (After the Hunt - a little highbrow but good acting)
5. 2nd shingles shot and the day of rest available to recover

I recently invested in a 1.2kg jar of kimchi so I can make the kimchi noodles from DELICIOUS TONIGHT for a bit cheaper. They and the spicy peanut noodles are my most-made recipes from the book and also one of the few things that come out basically the same colour as Nagi‘s example photo.

I usually add mustard tubers in place of bean sprouts, but I keep forgetting to buy more so last night‘s noodles were a LITTLE less substantial. Still delish.

A pumpkin spice latte. Not candy because I don't want to smear chocolate on a book.
