The weekend + one more resolution

I was with my parents out for most of the weekend, which means I got to savor both the garden and a lovely full sized kitchen. Always a delight. Lots of cooking going on here. I'll have a few recipes to post later this week. In the meantime, I am lazy, so you get pictures.

In other news, I'm jumping on Joslyn's bandwagon (read her lovely explanation here) and not buying anything new for the next 3 months. Except I'm wimpy and I've decided to take it literally. I will buy nothing new for the next 3 months, which means that my thrift store obsession can continue. After all, I feel like buying used things is slightly different - more of an attached experience, less mindless acquisition. Also cheaper. Or maybe I'm just justifying this to myself. What do you think?
