Specifically, lemon and lime curd. I bought too many citrus fruits. There had to be a solution that didn't involve just putting them in the compost one by one as they began to mold. So I canned curd. Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Rhode Island, the kind of winter day that makes you glad there are no leaves on the trees because there is no good reason to hide a sky that blue.
I had lightly held plans to make pasta this afternoon. I haven't done it since I was a child, helping my mother catch the eggy noodles as one of my brothers turned the crank on the pasta cutter. But it sounded good, with the shrimp and mussels we bought a couple days ago from the Farmer's Market and more lemon, as I hadn't exhausted the overabundance. In the end, I skipped the gym to follow through with this "lightly-held" plan and it was a success. The pasta was really great. And the seafood only slightly overdone due to Jon's day ending at 8:50 pm instead of the 8:00 pm he had anticipated.
Today, I have only one goal (after finally going to the gym). I need to get up to the outlet mall to exchange our CO2 cartridge. Or we might be snowed in tonight without carbonated water.

A blog that began as an account of medical school in a foreign country is evolving into an account of my recovery from that experience... a loss of self into a hopeful rediscovery through baking, reading, gardening and laughing, through the things I love.
...Whatever is true, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.
