New Year's on the Motor Row

Since the middle Feiman child, given a month's respite from classes, wouldn't dare come to the Midwest, the Jesse and I had to muddle through without our brother/bestie on New Year's Eve in Chicago. I got a camera for Christmas, and did the honors:


Jesse split and roasted a chicken.


...roasted butternut squash with Parmesan and rosemary, thyme, sage, or some such business. I made this again last week with just cheese and thyme and it was awesome leftover and smashed into a sandwich with some hot sopressata.


Also, cabbage and apples.

All this was accompanied by a personal tour of Jasper Johns: Gray and a visit to the Art Institute's prints and drawings vaults. Yum-yum, fun-fun. Thanks, Jesse!
