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!
The 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!).
Overall, 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!

“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality. Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
-D.H. Lawrence
