It is 1:16am and I am contently sprawled on my couch with a complete works of e.e. cummings, ciabatta toast with cream cheese & boysenberry jam, and a piping hot cup of tea.
I have the same mug! I think I got it from Oren's near Columbia. Nice little sofa relaxation for an overworked teacher. Oh, teachers and their summers!
I frequent that Oren's many times a week! (Bank Street is just down the block). My mug is from Pottery Barn and I have it in four colors. I kind of have a mug thing. It's bad.
And oh yes, I can promise you that you will never appreciate a summer as much as you will next year, following your first year teaching!
“Feeling, sniffing, chopping, sizzling, grilling, frying, roasting, baking, tasting, licking, sucking, biting, savoring and swallowing food are pleasures that would, to put it mildly, be a crime to miss out on. And to that buzz, the satisfying tingle that goes down your spine when you watch someone eating something you have made for them, and you have one of the greatest joys known to man.” (Nigel Slater, Appetite)
