brussels to green the grey

Around midnight last night, I decided to make something to warm the kitchen, halving brussel sprouts and slicing potatoes that roasted and sputtered in the oven as I diced guanciale.

The bright yellow aioli from Wednesday’s Eggs Maryland was nice on the side, and the softened sprouts made me happy, as they always do.

It’s been a cold week in Brooklyn, and I woke to big flakes of snow on Thursday that melted later in the day,

reminding me as Emily commented that the light is returning, days are lengthening,

and the grey will yield to the green…

    Holly, I’m giggling, that is exactly what I said to my tummy and it didn’t work. So I cook and continued to revel in your weekend list of favorite things—
