i went swimming (indoors) today after work and whenever i do that i always come home starving.\u00c2\u00a0 so when i was scrambling to find something to eat and noticed a recipe i’d gotten out of the october issue of martha stewart for “cheese flautas with cilantro pesto<\/a>” my gut instinct was, “no!\u00c2\u00a0 takes too long!” but then i took a deep breath, realized i actually had all of the ingredients on hand and that they wouldn’t really take all that long to make, and enlisted the help of mr. happy stuff (who was also surprised that i was willing to take on somewhat elaborate dinner plans).\u00c2\u00a0 together, we put together the cilantro pesto (based on pepitas instead of pine nuts, cilantro instead of basil, plus lime juice, olive oil and garlic–yum!) which produced a fantastic green oil.\u00c2\u00a0 then, we assembled the flautas (and added chicken to some of them which was good) and devoured them with sour cream and avocados (another great shade of green).<\/p>\n

but my favorite shade of green came in the mail today in the form of a complete surprise gift from my bloggy friend (and common threads<\/a> cohort) rebekah<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 look at this fantastic koolhaas hat<\/a> she knitted and sent to me:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

isn’t it just gorgeous??!!\u00c2\u00a0 i super love it.\u00c2\u00a0 it’s so soft.\u00c2\u00a0 i’m actually wearing it right now because i don’t want to take it off.\u00c2\u00a0 there was definitely a happy dance involved in opening up that package.\u00c2\u00a0 wheee!<\/p>\n

this is the back so that you can see the fabulous texture of the pattern:<\/p>\n
