More.

I need more time, more money, more warmth, and more ingredients. More, more, more. After spending a wonderful Saturday evening cooking with my love, I'm back on one of my need-to-cook-everything kicks. This weekend, we made fresh field green salad with homemade parmesan-rosemary croutons, roasted asparagus with garlic and shallots, crushed red skin potatoes, and penne alla vodka. It was delicious (despite my aversion to fresh tomatoes - an aversion, I should add, I would love to get over).

Now summer is *almost* in the near future, and I'm getting antsy. I need warmth, space, and time to cook to my heart's desire. I stumbled upon this blog this afternoon and it's just taunting me with the beautiful photos of fresh ingredients and worldly travel. Check it out: http://yummysupper.blogspot.com/

I'm on an Asian kick right now. Asian food, Asian styles... Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian - I'm all over the place. Despite my deep desire to, I really shouldn't let myself go apartment shopping just yet, but oh do I want to. Josh should prepare himself for some Asian influences all over our apartment 0:)

That reminds me of my need for money. What I'm most excited to shop for? Spices. Ever girl's dream, of course. Once summer comes, I'm cracking open my piggy bank and going on a spice run. Sure, conventional spices will be represented, but I just discovered an Asian market AND Indian grocery this past weekend. I'm thinking I'll fill that gap that Wegmans can't seem to fill quite right ;)

Stay warm!
