--riding my bike through chicago. specifically, the moment when i go over the river and try to look down through the bridge to see the water. it's tricky and probably not very safe, but it makes me smile every time.
--people who do what they love and/or love what they do. i don't think they're necessarily the same thing. i think people who know what they love should do it. and for those that don't have the privilege to do so, it makes me really happy to see people loving what they might have to do.
--technology. specifically international phone cards and skype.
--apples. i did something kind of silly on sunday, when i bought a HUGE box of apples at my favorite farmers market. there were probably 60ish apples. but it was only $5! and i actually happened to have my car that day. (it's probably good that when i get impulsive, i generally buy a shit-ton of fruit.) i hope you can't OD on apples, because if so, i'm in for it. any body have any good, cheap, healthy ideas for a bunch of apples about to go bad?
--tights and boots. and the weather that lets me wear them!
--getting a glimpse into (undoubtedly) the next big hipster trend: seeing a guy (yes, pretty hipster) riding a unicycle down the road! completely impressive.
--knowing and using the word "sommalier" and not feeling too pretentious about it!
--getting off work, going to see contemporary art for free, sitting in the sun for a couple minutes to read, and then riding home on my bike. a premium day that made me quite happy.

And this, dear sister, is what I believe it means to be 23. Glad you're enjoying it. Loving you from here. xoxox
make applesauce! make apple cake! make apple butter! but applesauce is easiest and you can put it in the freezer for whenever there's a cold day in chicago and you want to heat some up on the stove. just peel the apples, boil them in water til they are soft, mash them up and add some cinnamon and sugar, let cool, and freeze!
I love reading about things that make you happy. You can experiment and make an apple pie.
yes! applesauce. and apple wine. so easy. basically cut up the apples and de-seed. put them in a sanitized (boiled) glass container (we used a big glass pitcher that had a lid.) add a ton of sugar and filtered water and let it sit. siphon off the good stuff and let it warm your body on a cold winter's night. you could probably get better recipes online.
make butternut squash and apple soup! it's a yummy fall treat.
