More photo backlog. Fall is the one time of year that is truly breathtaking here.

Carved pumpkins done by M & L
Glowing (mine’s in the middle; I think I cut away too much b/c it rotted early)

Hard to tell from the photo, but that’s pink applesauce. Made using a variation of this recipe from Every Little Thing. (Main differences: I add a little sugar and lemon juice, and use an immersion blender after I pick the skins out, since I don’t have a food mill).
It’s fall! And freezing in [...]

I’m currently sitting in the San Jose airport waiting for my plane to Philly. After moving out of South Bend on Wednesday, I flew out here to CA and spent the weekend attending a wedding, doing research in Monterey, and spending lots of quality time with my boyfriend. Summer has been coming on [...]

Someone from the program sent me an email today informing me that I’ve got a mention on the Sycamore Review’s Blog.
Pretty awesome. I actually think Katie gave me more credit than I’m due – she also spoke to my friend Steph, who was the one who filled her in about our program’s work with the [...]

I just want to clarify something about what I posted yesterday. I was hashing my “eureka” moment over with the friend I’m sharing a hotel room with last night, and realized that I forgot to stress the irony of this realization.

(Hah, and you totally thought my next post would be about the gift I sent D for Valentine’s Day, didn’t you?).
I’m in Chicago, in the middle of the 2009 AWP Conference – and what can I say so far, except that it’s been incredibly exhausting but utterly amazing. Today was only the first full day [...]

Told you I’d catch up eventually.
Above: Random lunch bento, which I ate at my computer while finishing my overdue paper. Sandwich wraps from Costco, stuffed olives, baby carrots, holiday chessman cookies (which I now realize are upside down), and a toothpick for the olives.
Above: I helped my out at my dad’s business [...]

My blog has had an inexplicably high number of hits today. According to my dashboard stats, it’s some sort of record. And I have no idea why (if anyone knows of any high-traffic outside links that are coming here, I’d be very curious to find out). Strangely enough, the top post appears to be my [...]

In just a few weeks, the seasons here at ND have gone from this:
To this:
Yes, my friends. That is snow falling over the lampposts in the first picture. And winter berries in the second. It has been snowing on and off for the last two weeks and I can’t get over it. “What is wrong [...]
