Cold cucumber and avocado soup with wasabi (from the dalek-stove kitchen)
Some cucumbers - 4 medium ones, peeled & quartered, for instance. Seed if necessary.
1 or more ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cubed
1 or more cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup onion or scallions
Fresh lemon juice (1-2 tablespoons ish)
1 cup plain low fat yogurt
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup crushed ice.
--blend all of these--
Adjust for taste with sea salt, more of something...
Top with wasabi.
Serve in fancy glass.
Thanks Sox!
That sounds awesome.
The storms held off for long enough for my regular swim. However, they did not hold out for my walk home. Was completely drenched.
I've got to buy plane tickets tomorrow. Sigh.
I think either pair of shoes would do.
I think people are often more dressed up at weddings than I expect.
This is usually my experience too. I don't think it's going to be a big wedding...the dinner is at a restaurant. But I have to admit, I fear the Texan contingient... I suspect they will be done up.
omg am sweaty. just unpacked the 5 largest boxes in my bedroom in between work tasks. My bedside table is worse for wear from this move. They unscrewed the base which we have never done before to move it and I am certain they put it back together wrong. still, the room is coming along. No sheets on the bed yet, but I do have my pillow.
My rule of thumb is, it's better to be a bit overdressed than underdressed.
I guess I'll go try on the shiny shoes! Thanks.
Can I just say, those sandals at Naturalizer are $17 more expensive on Canada, even on sale. The difference in the dollar isn't that much any more. Sheesh.
I think this is the first time I've been to a wedding where I didn't know the bride at all. (Other than when I've been a date to a wedding where I didn't know anyone.) It's hard to know what to expect. Especially when you know the groom as an athiest, cheapskate and person who only ever owns one pair of shoes at a time. And yet who is getting married in a chapel with three different officiants, and the dinner is in one of the cities priciest restaurants. I'm pretty sure he is not steering this boat.
FWIW, Houston is a pretty casual town.
The bride seems pretty casual. But judging from teh perfectly done, handmade wedding invitiations, I suspect an inner Martha.
