Ok, nail polish question! There was a purple in the box that I really liked. Brenda liked it too so maybe she knows this--can anyone tell me what the color was? It was a fairly darkish, matteish, purple. Though there was also a frosty purple I liked. I tried to buy a similar shade and it turned out too dark (you could only see it was purple in bright sunlight). But I don't want a bright color.
I do love the other two colors I got though--the "can you tapas that" which I'd had on from my manicure, and one I just picked and now have on, "manicurist of Seville". They're both pretty and shiny in diferent ways.
I think that purple was the Orly one, Wild Wisteria. I didn't keep the frosty one so that I don't know.
Harvey looks very content in his iCat.
Just bought produce from a farmer's stand. Giant tomatoes, six or seven peaches and plums, and a cantaloupe near as big as my head. The inside of my car smelled like fruit by the time I got home.
I'm at my parents' house getting ready to make white gazpacho and yogurt panko crusted chicken.
I have The Manicurist of Seville and loves it!
I am eating a quesadilla. It's not bad, but a little too spicy. I've been trying to figure out how to go back to eating Primal/Paleo again, without subsisting almost entirely on meat, cheese, and eggs, like I did last time, because As You Know, Bob, I am a terrible cook and do not like vegetables much. And one can't have sandwiches, which is what I as a non-cook subsist upon now, because bread is the biggest no-no on the Primal diet. Quesadillas may be the answer! I can make them with low-carb tortillas, and stuff in as much cheese and meat as I want, and even I can chop up veggies (I think; haven't tried yet).
Oh no. I said "veggies". I hate it when people say veggies! Giving them a cute nickname doesn't make them taste good! Kids, it's all a lie! aiiighh brainwashed... This is what happens when you eat too many vegetables, isn't it? Slowly you start thinking they're okay, then they start to actually taste good, and pretty soon you're trying to get other people to eat them! Teh horror.
Salsa is vegetables and it tastes good, especially in quesadilla.
Admittedly, the things I put in quesadilla aren't always the healthiest - sauteed mushrooms, black olives, green onions, roasted peppers, greek yogurt (in lieu of sour cream).
Cheese is a good place to economize, though. You can usually find pre-shredded bags of cheddar and jack at Safeway on sale, and I got a brick of cheddar at the Grocery Outlet that was bigger than Matilda's leg for about $5.
So the weirdest thing happened.
Last night I came home to discover a message from a girl on OKCupid. She's an Indian girl who lives in Oakland and watches
Veronica Mars,
likes my use of the word "splendiferous," and hates bad grammar.
We exchanged messages back and forth for about an hour and a half this morning. And now we're having dinner tonight.
Let's see what you got, Hamster Girl.
You can always go with the Brit-ism, veg. It is simultaneously more dignified, less attention-needing (for those of us seeking to consume more without thinking so damn much about it), and easier and faster to type.
