Uh, so, it’s been awhile, huh?

In my defense, a lot of things in my life have changed between my last post and this one. I was inexplicably laid off from the job that was making me miserable, which was quite possibly the best thing that could have happened for my mental well-being and overall life happiness.

So I spent the three months debating my options, contemplated a move across the country, caught up on all four seasons of Arrested Development, visited loved ones. Then I got another job. It is exponentially better than my previous one. I’ve been very busy, and very happy, ever since.

Strange thing, this life.

I made a few things. Not many things, but some. I’ve also relied far too heavily on my cell phone camera.

My first galette des rois.

These crispy, thin cookies with mini chocolate chips, pecans, and cardamom. They were terribly perfect with coffee, tea, ice cream, and hot chocolate.

I also got a cat. A very lovely, acrobatic cat. He has a most delightful tail.
