chubby cheeks were flushed rosy pink from a long nap

Nap time is like pure gold in our house. 

Most of the time I am scurrying to undo the chaos of the previous hours of play, finish a little work and come up with something for dinner. This is my time, I jealously guard it and become like a cranky toddler if we miss it. 

Yesterday afternoon while the girls were napping I made a quick lunch with leftover salad from here, I added lentils and rice (also left over) and used the spicy jalapenos sauce from here.

The flavors were so fresh it felt incredibly indulgent to be tossed together in less than 2 minutes.

I made up some dough for focaccia . While the dough was rising in the window I checked the mail to find my new Anthology magazine! YAY!

All in all it was a lovely afternoon.
