I’m so impressed – I moved across town this summer and still had trouble figuring out when and how to pack up the kitchen! But I know what you mean about cooking in the midst of insanity. Sometimes when I’ve had a long day, even if it’s late and I’m really hungry, I’ll cook an elaborate meal just because I can. And when I do, I invariably feel better. It means getting a feeling of accomplishment and a tasty meal, all at once!

Diane – Thanks for commenting and for the good wishes with the upcoming move (tomorrow morning)! do you have a specific set of root vegetables you tend to use? or just whatever is available?

I recently made a yummy dish similar with root veggies! Oh I love them, they are so sweet and comforting. I wish you peace of mind as you make the big leap across the ocean. That’s a job for another woman…I think I’d fall to pieces.

denise — thanks. mostly my “favorite things” are people I have met, and thankfully don’t have to say goodbye forever to anyone. I will miss the amazingly delicious bread here though :)

maybelles mom — oh how I miss my cast iron skillet! I will be reunited with it once we find an apartment and start unpacking the boxes that we stored back in CA. Believe it or not, but my skillet is nearly 50 years old! My grandfather gave it to my dad, who in turn gave it to me

Kelly — thanks! so far, so good. Less than 48 hours until I am on the plane!

I still cannot imagine making that big move. Good luck!

I am trying to think which things I would keep in my fast box. maybe a cast iron skillet, a chefs knife, a small cutting board, 1 cup measuring cup and a saucier? or maybe a wok. I don’t know. Have a safe trip back.
