indigo_rose99And my weekend turns out to mostly be about food, interspersed with the occasional adventure.
- Flying has not improved since I last did it. Kicking, screaming children are still annoying.
- OMG! They let me hop on a faster connecting flight! They haven't done that for me since 2001! And with checked luggage??? What were they thinking?!
- Beet and beet greens risotto
- Spaghetti & swiss chard
- Taking apart a closet
- Cucumbers and hummus
- Buckwheat pancakes with fresh berries
- Walking along a beautiful river when it was actually a pleasant temperature (that NEVER happens at home!)
- Trying to put the closet back together. Who ever heard of actually NEEDING to drill a pilot hole for the pilot hole?! And a pilot hole for the pilot hole for the pilot hole?!? This is just silly!
- Grocery shopping with ovrclokd. She left me too long in Whole Foods grocery aisle. Yummy yummy ice cream...
- Cranberry pomegranate bellinis
- parmesan fish sticks
- Spinach and cannellini dip
- Ipod speakers and silly songs
- Apples to Apples
- Drunken phone call to my husband
- Roasted cod with edamame
- Green beans in gemolata
- Separating black and white lentils -- One moment of distraction in the grocery store led to about an hour of entertainment. Ovrclokd may be finding tiny lentils in kitchen corners for months.
- Frittata
- Salmon on Spinach and spaghetti
- Eggplant and goat cheese salad
- Basil-scented lemonade
- Making trifle
- Panzanella
- Red and Napa cabbage slaw
- Fighting over the trifle. "Mine!" "Mine!" "Mine!"
- Setting off massive quantities of spectacular fireworks
- Bugs! Bug bites! Ack!
- Strata
- Game: What would be too risky to do? Crapping on the front porch!
- Itchy bug bits in spite of tons of bug spray.
- Vege bean rice
- Game: What should a politician not do, because it would likely cost them their career? Perhaps, squawk like a chicken? A dead boy or a live goat? Or crap in the front porch?
- Berry picking
- Husband met me at the airport with a beautiful long-stemmed rose
- And the morning after... I found rainier cherries in the frig. Husband loves me! Welcomes me home!

Date: 2009-07-09 12:58 pm (UTC)The spinach and canellini dip (I made that one!) did involved pureeing. It was disappointingly weak in flavor and we added a bit more lemon and garlic. However, we discovered that the flavor strengthened significantly after a day in the frig. So, perhaps if we had waited before tasting, it would have been fine.
