This has been a really busy week for me. Somehow I scheduled major assignments in both of my classes for the same week. The result: lots of time spent reading student papers (something I actually like doing) and not much time spent doing anything else.
It is also really fall here in Portland. Most of the week was grey and rainy. This is the view from the walkway I take from my car to my office.
There were a couple of high points to the week (in addition to the papers I read). First, there was the delicious tortilla soup S made for dinner last weekend.
And I finished one of the hats I have been working on. This one for my friend’s son B.
I hope it fits!

Oh, such colors in that hat! It shouts, it whispers, “Fall”! It’s bound to fit. Bring on the cold…..!
What goes into S’s tortilla soup? It looks good and it is definitely soup season in London.
I think the recipe came from Rick Bayless’s book called Mexican Everyday. Here’s a link: http://www.rickbayless.com/recipe/view?recipeID=51 He left out the chicken and made fresh tortilla chips from tortillas.
