day 9.

...I have been so fortunate to have co-workers who are also friends. yesterday, janel & I made a spur of the moment decision to get out of the office for a late lunch. we did talk about work (just a little), but also about christmas music & decorations, holiday shopping (she's finished with hers and my list isn't even finished!) and cooking. janel is a wonderful cook and we shared ideas about cookbooks and pans and cooking for one (or two). she told me about adding a few cloves to chicken stock and making grilled pizza and I told her about my pumpkin risotto and sara's latest cookie creation. tis the season indeed.
