Remember Me?

We've been moving into a new apartment over the last two weeks and that's why I've been missing for so long. Now we're finally getting settled in, but my only Internet access is dial-up, so it's kind of painful getting on. And cooking isn't really happening, what with all the boxes. I do have a bigger and better kitchen, which I hope you'll be seeing some of soon.

Meanwhile, I did make a Italian meatball and escarole soup that August absolutely devoured. Got some chicken stock boiling, then formed some sweet Italian sausage into marble-sized meatballs (which I cut in fourths for the baby) and dropped them in the broth. Boiled that for about 20 minutes, then added some diced tomatoes (from a can) and chopped fresh escarole. Tore up a day-old ficelle and threw that in, too, and let it get soft. I topped the bowls with shredded hard cheese. It was easy and good. (And popular. August kept signing "more" so I ended up giving him about half of Todd's portion, too.)
