Feathering the nest


More housekeeping. Trekked along a freeway to the big shopping mall (boy, did we get some funny looks) to bring home some simple essentials not in the professor's apartment: eating bowls, water tumblers and wine glasses (we're fussy), wooden spoons, lemon juicer and an oil burner so I can purify the air. Had a little splurge on a Microplane grater from the kitchenwear emporium Williams-Sonoma.

Cleaned out the bathroom cupboards and loaded my potions inside.

Cooked our first dinner at home - a creamy tomato-based pasta sauce with a kick, Penne Alla Vodka, using a bottle of Absolut procured from the Rite-Aid chemist (it does serve a medicinal purpose!).

The velvety milk chocolate sofa is a very nice place to be - whether in daylight or in the evening with the lamps on and the crickets singing in the pond.
