What a week it has been.  Things began spiraling out of control Tuesday afternoon and the mania has not stopped since.  I have now succumbed to the flu and I HATE how much it is throwing off my routine, but I suppose it was inevitable.  On the other hand, this week has been so filled with love and blessings and generosity.  I have been loved so well and even as I lay here like a grumpy child, I cannot help feeling immensely blessed. 

It is hard for me to talk about food right now, but let's give it ago. 

I am really dying to make this soup.  Any excuse to bring more caramel into our lives, right?

My attempts at Asian cuisine have never been overly strong, but I am really wanting to give this orange chicken a go.  And broccoli rice?!  How cool is that?!?

I picked up this dress at Forever 21 earlier this week and I love that I can totally wear it to the grocery store or on a date night out with the mister.  Yay for shift dresses! 

That's all for now.  I think I am due for another dose of DayQuil.  

Happy weekend, friends!

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
