No this is not the calm before the storm. Nor the peace after the storm. We're enjoying a day or two of general solace after a hectic and confusing week and before we enter into more and more insanity.
Let's begin with a recap of this past week, shall we? At approximately 3:30 am on Wednesday morning, Dan decided that after hours of sleepless agony, we needed to go to the Emergency Room. He was dealing with extreme pain in his abdomen, and we feared it may have been appendicitis. After waiting at the ER for hours, we learned that it was not appendicitis, but we still have no clue what it was. He now has a primary care doctor though (something I've been begging him to get since we started dating!), and we're working to determine what the source of the pain is / was. That, on top of some stressful situations at my afternoon school (what else is new?), it's been a long week.
This coming week I have teacher observations at my morning school, and preparation for parent-teacher conferences in the following week. No rest for the weary.
Dan's been working on the weekends lately, leaving me to my own devices. Since we're trying very hard to save money, and it's gotten cold and rainy, I have limited options. Basically, I have one option: baking. This weekend's creation was a fancy gourmet treat.
That, my friends, is a butternut squash, apple, and brie galette. It is French. Therefore fancy-shmancy. Right? Haha. I saw the recipe when searching for ways to use butternut squash and decided I was up for the challenge. It turned out pretty well too!
I probably should've made something a bit more along the lines of comfort food, with everything coming up, but hey, it's got cheese in it! And I love me some cheese. Yum.
