In the Kitchen

I’ve been sneaking in and out of the kitchen today, in between designing covers for werewolf books and reading submissions on my laptop (it’s a tough job).

I made some granola bars a little while ago — super easy. I dipped the bottoms in chocolate to help them keep their shape — good idea, but then I drizzled the left over on top, and it’s just too much sweet for me. I hope I can find SOMEbody to eat them.

I had my table this way ’round the first few months I was here, but then I pivoted it so the short end was under the window on the left. But with the temperatures dropping, I’m feeling a strange sort nostalgia for the cold months of last year. So back it goes. I also made a quick vegetable soup:

I say quick because it didn’t take much work, but it was actually a fairly long process, as I roasted my own tomatoes (from the garden) instead of using tinned. It was worth it, though — both for the flavour and to get rid of some of the tomatoes on my window sill!
