small things

I've been having trouble seeing them lately, the small things I like. It's time to slow down, take a breath, a bubble bath, a picture.


I made spinach artichoke hummus yesterday as the snow began to fall. I had previously soaked, cooked, and drained a large amount of chickpeas, and then I whirled them up in my food processor with lots of garlic, tahini, olive oil, salt, cumin, and lots and lots of lemon juice. Which I squeezed using my mama's antique juicer, a remarkably simple and satisfying device.
