Nick likes his swimming in a small pool of maple syrup, but I like mine with a bit of fruit. I decided to make a quick compote with some summer fruit I had on hand:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">1 peach<br \/>\na few strawberries that had seen better days<br \/>\na handful of blueberries<br \/>\na sprinkle of sugar (1-2 tsp)<br \/>\nand a tiny squeeze of lemon juice<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I peeled and sliced the peach, hulled and sliced the strawberries, then put it all in a small pot over medium-low heat. I stirred every now and then, waiting until the fruit had begun to break down and release its juices before I turned off the heat. The leftovers will be perfect on yogurt for breakfast tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In other news, we just got back from apartment hunting in Texas, and wouldn&#8217;t you know it&#8211; we found an amazing one. We came across it completely incidentally, which makes me believe Nick really is some kind of good luck charm when it comes to finding homes. Having a real place is making me even more antsy about moving!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Here are some more things of note that aren&#8217;t quite worthy of their own post:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I made a batch of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/318024\/thyme-lemonade\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/childerhouseblog\/7359955998\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\">fancy drink<\/a> to sip on warm days, and it&#8217;s definitely a repeat recipe.<br \/>\n&#8211; After what seemed like a thousand years of waiting, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/childerhouseblog\/7359953896\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\">this guy<\/a> finally sprouted a stem and some roots, and is growing like crazy.<br \/>\n&#8211; Somehow found my way to <a href=\"http:\/\/chocolatecoveredkatie.com\/2011\/08\/12\/hot-fudge-brownie-larabars\/\" target=\"_blank\">this recipe<\/a>&#8212; they&#8217;re not much to look at, but they&#8217;re crazy tasty.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure posting will be pretty spotty as I start the daunting process of packing everything I own and moving it a thousand miles, so bear with me, folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nick talks about pancakes on an almost weekly basis, so if I feel like a big breakfast and I&#8217;ve got an uneventful weekend morning, I mix up a batch.
