attempts at domesticity

the novelty of cooking for the mister has yet to wear off and i hope it never will :) work is a concept i'm still trying to get my mind around but for the moment, i'm happy as a clam to cook, clean and domestic it up. in fact, household things are immeasurably easier than a full-time job and there's something incredibly therapeutic about the mundane. and with seasonal ingredients this fresh - i'm all for finding new ways to get the mister to eat his greens. a little slow on the home made pesto bandwagon because it's so accessible at farmers' markets but then my inner control freak took over and i wanted to make pesto exactly to taste (what an oxymoron!)

easy peasy lemon squeezy with a pestle and mortar. a bowl of spinach leaves, a bowl of basil leaves, as much garlic as i want because that's the beauty of marriage and unconditional love, truffle oil, olive oil infused with garlic, celery salt and parmesan. 

and because i'd leftover basil and cheese, guess what went swimming in my tomato soup. also from scratch (on a roll!) with cherry tomatoes, red pepper, onion and apples!
