I have a wonderful new project going on. It keeps me busy, very busy. But creativity is a double-edged sword; it keeps you alive and makes you dream, but it also keeps you awake at night and on your toes, 24/7. Rest assured, I am not complaining, but seeing it is now 4:30 in the morning and that I haven't closed my eyes yet, let's just say that I am on the latter edge of the sword today.
But the beauty of my new venture is that it involves food, lots of it. So it pleases me to be able to stay awake because I worry about food. I'd rather worry about food than about closing day at NYSE.
I want to share with you in the next few days my osso bucco recipe. I took pictures of all the steps when I made it last Saturday. It will be up very soon, I promise. In fact, as soon as I can pack a few more hours rolling in bed.
Fall has arrived for good in Chicago. The leaves are turning all shades of yellow, orange and brown, at lightning' speed it seems. But this also means that our house will be slowly coming up. We are expecting demolition in the next few days, which should take about a week, and then time to build from the ground up! It is quite exciting! The choices, the materials, the colors, the textures, the disposition... All that makes for more sleepless night, filled with creative ideas and head full of thoughts. I can only imagine the life of an artist. Wait... Aren't we all artists in our own way?
