Something beautiful.

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Jennie Palluzzi

Last night, Corelyn and Melissa came over. Corelyn and I blogged. We were finishing up our little project.

I made baked ziti for dinner. I pulled out a cookbook (not PW) and modified based on what I had in my kitchen (only one egg, less than half a container of ricotta, you get the picture.) I used a log of mozz.

*****

No one took a photo. No fanfare. No frills. Just baked ziti.

It was still beautiful.

It was ready in 25 minutes. It fed three of us. More than half was left for this week’s lunches. And for dinner tonight.

*****

Tonight I ate leftovers. Half a brick of brie. A handful of grapes. Three stalks of celery.

Break time. Holiday time.

I love LA, OR: Why I don’t take the highway home…

Last night after being at J, B, and E’s for a bit, I took Santa Monica Blvd home. This way goes through a lot of LA neighborhoods, and thus I saw, in no particular order:

a building (an entire 12 story-plus building) wrapped like a Christmas tree; an city block of Beverly Hills decorated with scenes of Christmas; a building lighted to look like it was snowing; the whole of West Hollywood decked to the nines, including a hopping Wednesday-night party scene, and glowing neon lights at every block; more than five burger restaurants (not fast food ones, either); a woman putting her eye-liner on while waiting at a light; a crashed car lit up with a sign saying “Do Not Drive Drunk” above it in front of the West Hollywood Police Department; a myriad of houses with Christmas trees shining through their front windows.

Happy Christmas, LA.

Building wrapped as a present…

Whew! You made it!

Friends, Family, Strangers;

I see you’ve made it to my new digs. Like the snow? I do, too. I’ll be updating more soon, but first I want to make sure no one gets lost along the way!

Camp Waterloo Reunion

Posted on December 3, 2010 by sorellaaglio

I was thinking about the up-and-coming holidays, and how I am going home for a bit, which is very exciting, and I realized that I haven’t been to Camp Waterloo in a year! A year, people! Ridiculous. Because of travels to Connecticut and Chicago, I’ve avoided the mitten for a full twelve months. Terrible! Despicable! Horrendous!

So I reminisced for a while, reminding myself of what I have to look forward to…
