5 not-so-random things and a recipe

Sophia decided that we'd write in our journals this evening.  I keep a composition notebook for both of them and just jot little notes every now and then.  I am TERRIBLE about scrapbooking and record-keeping (Ollie is going to be four in April and I still haven't done his baby book) but thought a very casual notebook would be possible.  It has turned into just the thing I needed.  I staple in ticket stubs and little pictures they've drawn. 

So here are some inspiring, creative, beautiful journals I found on flickr and want to share.  *Jason asked what type of journal I posted the other night.  I always assumed that was an art journal.  Anyone know?

1.  colorful

2. paper

3. pieced

4. travel

5. upcycled

Inspiring, huh?

So I mentioned my delicous red sauce the other day.  By request, here it is:

Heat 2 to 3 T olive oil in a saucepan then add a small, finely chopped onion.  Stir until soft and melty.  Add 2 to 3 cloves of crushed garlic and stir for another minute.  Add one 28 oz can of crushed tomatoes and 1 1/2 cups of cold water, then a teaspoon of salt, some pepper, and about 1/4 teaspoon of red-pepper flakes.  Bring it all to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer till it is nice and thick.  I like to simmer for at least an hour.  This is the simplest sauce and always delicious.  Enjoy!   

see you tomorrow,
