...he said I should write about whatever moves me. The thought of going to bed moves me. A hot bubble bath does, too. Today was a bit exhausting, which is ironic because around 4 o'clock I woke up from a nap, noted that both kids were still sleeping, and thought "Wow, this has been such a quiet afternoon." Sometimes it feels like I have to maintain a manic pace to keep from falling over, and that once I slow down, I just want to stop completely. I guess I've always been an all or nothing kind of girl. Just ask that empty box of Lorna Doone's over there.

Today there were gray skies and the threat of rain/snow showers. I was inspired to make some comfort food for dinner. Over the summer, we got a lot of swiss chard from the CSA we joined. I'm not a huge fan, but managed to work out a recipe that is so good, I actually bought some chard from the grocery store. I layer thin slices of uncooked potato (home grown, amazingly), season them with salt/pepper/garlic/pats of butter, add a layer of sliced tomatoes, a layer of sauteed swiss chard, a layer of burger, and finally a generous sprinkling of mozzarella. Then I do it all again. Cover and bake in the oven at 350 for about an hour, removing the lid for the last 15 minutes to brown the cheese. It's yummy. Unless you're Henry, in which case you'll treat each bite as if is killing you slowly and painfully.
