Tender charm.

A couple days ago, when there was still the promise of snow, I decided I'd hole up in my apartment and use my oven to weather out the storm. There wasn't any snow, but I stuck with my original plan anyway.

Today I made spaghetti with oven-roasted tomato sauce and Brussels sprouts, along with a lentil stew. I also baked lemon-ale cakes, Australian beer cake, and because I still had some beer left over from the just-over-a-pint bottle, a variant on this beer bread. The beer bread and the lentil stew were, themselves, not too exciting - but the stew with the bread has definite promise.

I haven't yet finished folding my laundry. Or done the dishes. It's worth the delay in bedtime.
