I smell like a culinary adventure!

Today, we roasted many things. Garlic, red peppers, eggplant. We have used our food processor 3 times in the last 24 hours, which is a LOT more use than it has had in a very long time. We made two very delicious dips – a roasted garlic and red pepper one, and a white bean and roasted eggplant one, both of which I have posted the recipes for. Much fun in the kitchen with my husband.

So much delicious goodness.

We made the dips because Jake eats a lot when he is home, and we were under the impression he had next week off. Unfortunately, he does not. He has wednesday to friday of the following week off, but it’s still pouty-making. Mildly. I was rather looking forward to having him by my side for a whole week.

I found some pictures Matt had sent me months ago. Except I got them in Australia when I was on Natey’s computer that hated photobucket, so they went hidden.

Jake and I at the double-birthday-and-thanksgiving extravaganza that was in early November.

Jake’s brother Nick and I blowing out our birthday numbers on a pumpkin pie. I don’t think I am actually poking the candle, I’m just weird. But who knows. (look at that ugly cake in the bottom corner – that thing was yummy. Speaking of cake, what kind (flavour) should I make Jake for his birthday (in 2 months)? I want to work it out now so he will forget about it. Any ideas are good. He just keeps asking what I have experience making, and that doesn’t matter. So yes, ideas?)
