Tuesday Pickup

First off, K, you still need to respond to my Friday challenge.

 
 
 
When friends come to visit, I harass them into appreciating art with me.  When nice friends come to visit, they agree to take pictures of me in the gallery--like this one, in front of a stunning painting of the Grand Canyon.  Pieces like this are so beautiful, and I'm amazed at how someone would have the patience to create such a piece.



In a quest to add more protein to my diet, I've started cooking with lentils.  This is the start of a delicious lentil soup with tomato, sausage, and spinach.  No broth, no special spices, just delicious veggies and 28 oz of canned tomatoes.  Take away the sausage, and it's vegan!  One batch made so much I had to freeze half, and I'm looking forward to when I get to have it again.


 
I've been integrating pins into my wardrobe, mostly because I need to justify keeping them around, and also because I don't wear much jewlery so there's always room to spice up my outfits.  Two of my favorites this week were a pin from the Tate Modern that went with a basic grey sweater dress and oxford shirt, and a thrift shop find that I strung up as a necklace.




After literal weeks out of stock everywhere, I finally found some of my favorite tea--Stash Lemon Ginger.  I grabbed three boxes just to be safe. It's my go-to for decaf tea, refreshing with a bite.


Another culinary adventure: making Okonomiyaki.  It's kind of like a japanese scallion pancake, loaded with cabbage, crab meat, and egg.  I also made a super spicy sauce to go with it.  The entire process was fun, but now I have almost six cups of leftover chopped cabbage... does anyone have a suggestion for what I could do with it?
