vw, eww on dinner aww for the Toto picture. I couldn't make the cucumber salad I wanted to make tonight because the cucumbers had molded. I bought the cucumbers but didn't have the Greek yogurt. Now I have the Greek yogurt, but no cucumbers. Let's see if I can get the cucumbers before the yogurt goes bad.

mmm... buy cucumbers....

and my spagetti squash did not cook completely in the microwave. I d o much better in the oven. - That's okay - it will cook , but it does sorta look like disaster dinner on the thread tonight

My real disaster dinner was last night. Cream sauce would not get thick and gnocchi overcooked and got mooshy. When I threw away the cucumbers tonight I made a chickpea salad with yellow peppers, red onions and a balsamic vinegarette. The main food was spaghetti with a clam, anchovy, and white wine sauce. It was yummy.

SO CUTE!!

Bedrest for three weeks at least and then we'll reevaluate.

Eek! Best of luck and plenty of fun-but-horizontal times to JZ!

H'rm. I bet there are several extraneous and borrowable laptops in the family. Time to answer the calls from relatives saying, "What can we do for you?" with "Well, now that you mention it..."

Do it! Do it!

Well, you won't be borrowing my laptop, as she is an ex-laptop

Oh, Em, what dreadful timing! So sorry.

He interrupted us once to say he never watches, and his wife watches too much so he's thinking of getting rid of the TV

I would smack him, were I his wife. Damn.

What are the three best traits I have to offer a partner?

Dude. If I could answer those questions honestly and eloquently, I not only wouldn't be single, I'd be a fucking THERAPIST. Lordy.

Half of the hot dog bun was moldy. How did I *not* notice this? I have turned into Sean. This is the only explanation I have.

EWWWWWWWWWWW. VW, that is NOT GOOD!

I have nothing to report. Work is v. boring, I went to a baseball game tonight but paid no attention, and...yeah, nothing.

How did I miss this post? Too.damn.cute.

Suddenly, I find myself vaguely internet-flirting with four completely random girls. One eharmony match, one girl who randomly "poked" me on the facebook, one who is in my fellowship program, and one who I was introduced to by a friend on Friday.

I'm not sure how this happened, or exactly what I'm doing. But it's kind of exhilarating.

mmm... buy cucumbers....

I have some growing in the garden, AIFG.

Go Gris!

My diner was lovely - we brought our own wine, so we ordered an appetizer out of guilt - artichoke-crab dip, yum! Then we were smart enough to split an entree (lamb) because we already have two meals worth of leftovers in the fridge. The lamb was delightful, the vegetables were absolutely delicious, and the potatoes were every bit as good as they should be. After that we felt virtuous enough to get a dessert each - cherry pie a la mode for me and key lime pie for DH. Wonderful.

Now I am just a little bit stuffed and pleasantly wined. Lovely.

I hope you're asleep by now, Zenkitty.

sj's dinner (ignoring the cucmbers) sounds fantastic.

On my way home from work the other day, I saw an Oscar Mayer Weinermobile going the other way on the Interstate.

Had another bat in the house tonight.

I managed to wrangle it with the fishing net before Harvey and Sammie got it.
