As the due date for my second child approaches, my desire to be on my feet for any extended period of time (read: ten minutes) has made cooking less of an adventure and more of a chore. Coupled with the horrendous heartburn, well, it’s just not conducive to…anything.
Also, what food I am cooking has taken horrible pictures. Last week I whipped up some of my hero Mario Batali’s minestrone siciliana and it was incredible, but it looks awful in the photo. Tonight was more soup, a dupe recipe of Panera’s broccoli cheese, and again, delicious but in this case I completely forgot to take photographs. Win some, lose a lot more seems to be my motto lately.
I hope to get back into the spirit of things soon – after all, baby or no baby, I still have some challenges to whip up!
