weekend reading

Everyone has been traveling lately and I can’t get enough of following their adventures. Julie just ate her way through all of Marrakesh and documented it in such a way that makes me want to redo my entire trip there. Kayture has me drooling over these foodie spots in Los Angeles (road trip, anyone?). Somehow Prague has slipped down my list of places I must go to, but these dreamy photos from blogger Maddinka have pushed it back up to the top. And Seoul was even on the list, but I’ll go anywhere with Shini; her photography never fails to blow me away.

But instead of setting sail myself, for now I’ll be living vicariously through all you travelers. I’m enjoying being home; it feels like ages since I’ve been able to really settle in for a good long stint. The above images are some snaps from around the house this week. I’ve committed myself to eating less and eating at home (and yoga…in theory…) and have been completely obsessed with this curried cauliflower and quinoa recipe from Cookie & Kate. I’ve made it about half a dozen times so far, and it doesn’t get old. I’ve played around with the dish by adding lemon juice instead of vinegar; dried pomegranates and cranberries along with the raisins; diced apples and roasted pine nuts. Last night I pulled out all the stops, adding tons of curry and cayenne pepper; my friend and I ate in the front bay windows, watching the people on their way home from work or heading out on the town while we drank wine and talked about politics. So yeah; this weekend is off to a marvelous start.
