It is finally over. Not that I have anything against October, but it wasn’t the easiest month to get through. Sascha was gone for 3 weeks, which made two weeks of fall break a bit of a drag, especially since one of those week I was out of commission with the flu.
Still, I managed. And here’s what I’ve been up to:
Listening to: Mylo Xyloto, the new Coldplay CD. My favorite song on the CD right now is “Princess of China” – turns out Chris Martin and Rihanna are a match made in Heaven. Who knew? And just in case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the video of the latest single from the CD: Paradise.
Craving: a new pair of biker boots. My lovelies are kaput, so I am on the market for a replacement. These made the short list:
Eating: spicy chicken soup, perfect for chilly fall evenings, but by no means reminiscing hospital food!
Here’s how I make mine: toss 2-4 chicken breasts in your pressure cooker, add 1 package of frozen broccoli, 2-3 chopped cloves or garlic, a chopped yellow onion, 1 heaping Tbsp of a good no-MSGvegetable broth paste (I like Morga), 2 bay leaves, a chopped carrot, 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce.
Fill with water, close, seal, once it starts whistling let it cook for 30-40 minutes, then shred the chicken. Serve with cooked brown rice and additional adobo sauce to taste.
Drinking: lots of Earl Grey tea. I LOVE Early Grey! For years I tried all the brands and versions I could get my hands on and in the end, I found the best one… in Sainsbury’s, during a short stay in the UK. The store brand is the absolute best Earl Grey tea I have ever had, and so affordable! And I was hooked. I am also lucky ’cause my British friends know of my addiction so they keep me stocked up 
Loving: suede and sequins, among other things.
Wondering: if you’ll be getting in line on November 17 for Versace for H&M. Pray tell!
