Brown Butter Roasted Potatoes

These days, a successful evening involves baby’s bedtime at 6:30 or 7:00, leaving me a few precious moments in which to water the garden, do some minimal cleaning, and cook an incredibly simple meal. My solution? Roasted vegetables. Every night. Cut them up, stick them in the oven, go about my business. Trust me – the most time-consuming thing about roasting vegetables is picking them out at the grocery store.

Friends, it's been a long time, but I do have legitimate excuses.

Life has totally happened without me realizing it. A year and a half after my last post, we are in an actual grown-up house with a dining room and a garden and everything. The move happened in June of last year, right after our first wedding anniversary.

I avoided this thing for so long. I cooked, I baked, I picked up my camera and even took photos. I never wrote about what I did. Various obstacles got in my way and the exhaustion of work took over. I ran and finished a half marathon. I sang the soprano role in The Messiah and made whirlwind plans for Christmas in Arkansas. The past six weeks have flown by as six weeks never have. And yet the events in Connecticut last week brought me to a standstill.
