move over martha


big news: last night, for the first time (probably ever, or at least since a long long time ago), i was...DOMESTIC.

yes. shocking, i know. but believe it or not, i donned an apron, pulled out a cutting board and various pots, and made a legitimate meal. FROM SCRATCH.

and most importantly, IT WAS EDIBLE!

it was my mom's recipe for homemade clam chowder, and i was feeling ambitious. so i took the ingredients i had bought (premeditated domesticity...sounds almost criminal): potatoes, celery, clams, an onion, milk, butter, flour, etc. and i followed that recipe right down to the very end to produce some pretty dang tasty soup. other people ate it and lived without complaint.

two of the happy consumers, spencer and megan (probably commenting on how awesome the soup is).


sometimes, i even amaze myself.
