A little help for Truepenny

Christoph is visiting with A. at the moment, and Truepenny is home alone working hard on the last essay of her undergraduate career. So to cheer her up, A. decided Christoph should send her a picture of him with his friends…

More updates soon when Truepenny is officially done her ungrad!

Ice, ice, baby.

Once again, Christoph apologizes for his prolonged absence from the interweb. He’s a busy little elephant and has been spending the month eating yummy food and being cool. He got himself some ice, as you can see.

About a month back, Christoph joined Truepenny and A up at A’s cottage for some relaxation and good eats over Reading Week. He helped them try their hand at making sushi for the first time!

sushi 1The whole meal consisted of salmon rolls & nigiri, eel rolls & nigiri, miso soup and, when we tired of rolling, we just tossed some salmon, eel and other ingredients in a bowl with rice. And champagne to celebrate our culinary accomplishment (though of course Christoph is too young to partake of such things!).

sushi 2Overall, it was rather delicious for a first attempt. The rice of course was really the difficult part, and A did a fine job of not messing up what Truepenny likely would have.

On the less sophisticated end of the spectrum, Christoph and Truepenny also made chocolate-chip-peanut-butter-cup cookies!

Mmm. Maybe not as fancy as sushi, but very delicious!

Though it’s essay season for Truepenny (which results in many nights in for both her and Christoph) Christoph promises to take better care of his blog!

You’ll hear from him again soon!

Guess who’s back?

Christoph has been taking a long break and relaxing, but now he’s ready to get back to blogging.

Since it’s been a month since his last post, it seems the daily photo goal may be unachievable. As such, updates will be less frequent, but you will definitely be seeing more of this little elephant.

Stay tuned!

Christoph may be furry, but he does not have a hairy heart.

Christoph may be furry, but he does not have a hairy heart.

The touch of her soft white arms, the sound of her breath in his ear, the scent of her heavy gold hair: all pierced the newly awakened heart like spears. But it had grown strange during its long exile, blind and savage in the darkness to which it had been condemned, and its appetites had grown powerful and perverse.

-”The Warlock’s Hairy Heart” from The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling, with notes by Albus Dumbledore and translation by Hermione Granger
