I leave today for Montgomery, Alabama, to visit a friend. On Monday I'll be traveling to Houston for work, and then back to DC Wednesday night and up to NYC on Thursday morning. Back in DC Saturday night, so as to host the In Your Ear reading at the DC Arts Center on Sunday the 22. It's going to be a great lineup -- Karen Anderson and Kate Greenstreet!
Oh and hey, I have a blurby thingy, a poem, and an oddly-cropped photo up at the PSA's updated New American Poets website. Fancy!

Here is the recipe for the comforting soup that I made yesterday:
3 cups peeled, cubed, seeded butternut squash
1 1/2 cups peeled cubed potatoes
2 small onions, minced
1 1/4 quarts chicken broth
1 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
2 tbs butter
salt
pepper
1 cup whipping/heavy cream (optional)
melt the butter in a large pot. Cook the onions in the melted butter about 5 minutes. Then toss in the squash, potatoes, broth, and paprika. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and then cook for 35 minutes. In batches, blend the soup in a blender or food processor until smooth. Put back into the pot, add the chives and cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Now you are done. Your soup is lightly orange and it tastes like potatoes. Potatoes taste like warmth.
