We had a superb meal, a few hours back - Jessica and I have cooked together before, so we know how to share kitchen duty. Tonight was a kamikaze meal, slamming out two kinds of pasta (Jess made an incredibly garlicky nummy pesto, I made a chicken sausage sugo with fresh tomatoes, chopped basil, sweated garlic and pignoli), a salad with mesclun and shaved reggiano (we cheesed the hell out of it, adding grana padano and basic romano, I believe the third cheese was), in a red wine vinaigrette. There were also killer bread sticks and two loaves of bakery bread studded with garlic.
Jessica and I got it together in twenty minutes. It was eaten while Eddie Izzard was watched.
Also, Jess and Juliana and I all got really great tattoos. I still have huge marks from the bandage tape, but that hurt more than the tattoo itself does.
Gods, yes, the tats are amazing. I love all three, but am seriously blissed at Jessica having the chemical symbol for caffeine. Perfect.
beth! Did you send my husband home safely? He said he was coming over there today.
Also, does your library subscribe to Library Journal?
(heading to bed. Is late.)
We sent him home early - he needs to catch up on more sleep. and yes we subscribe to Library Journal.
Tom (and others), I will be heading to Caribou shortly, if you want to meet me there.
People need to WAKE UP! and come play.
