My friend's CSA delivered to me tomatillos, with which I have never cooked.

I made a chicken chili and had it over quinoa steamed with basil.

Conclusion: YUM.

And I have the money to send you which I will do on Monday. Sorry it took so long--I suck.

And I went "she owes me money . . .? Oh! That!" So it's all cool.

Note to self--just because you're on insulin now is no excuse to go pig out on naan. No matter how good naan is. Though it would make the rare naan indulgence less bad. Why is bread and bread-like objects so good?

staff of life and all that. stoopid bread.

I love tomatillos in a winter vegetable soup.

I ck profiles immediately before first F2F meeting to refresh memory

Oh hell yeah. Always. And about the Russian? They are badass ballroom dancers, as anyone who watches SYTYCD can testify.

Roomie and I made dinner together, yay. Pretty tasty, and lots of leftovers.

I need a recipe for gluten-free naan.

And the motivation to make same.

I spent the day with Will today, or part of it. We went exploring, drove down a country road and ran into the Canadian border.

The trip started with Will saying "There's this antique store I've been by I want to go in." And so we went. It's a large, 20 room, four story (I think it's four story) pink house.

And the only way to describe it is like someone from Hoarders (who doesn't have issues with trash and food). It is seriously packed. There was 1 room of books I couldn't get to because of the foot wide barrier of stuff between it. Another closet had kitchen stuff piled up and falling over about chest high.

The owner said it was 60 years of collecting on sale and I believe it. It's overwhelming and amazing and just. There were other people there who'd never been before and everyone was a little overwhelmed.

askye, I forget where you said Will lives, but some time you two should go check out the Bread and Puppet "museum". It's in Glover.

He's in Addison County but we've driven all over the state, except the NE Kingdom, that's still on our list of places to go. I'll add the Bread and Puppet to the list of places to visit.

I saw The Alchemist was voted Best Brewpub Outside Chitteden County! So congrats to them. We haven't been back but I really want to because we've had a run of mediocre to bad dining experiences and The Alchemist has been one of the highlights.

And about the Russian? They are badass ballroom dancers,

::nods::

It's part of the general school curriculum there, much like phys ed is here. They even scout kids to see if they have the chops to make it as pros.

Plus, hot ballroom dancer bodies, as I can attest from in person study this weekend.

IJS...

Woo!!!

So congrats to them. We haven't been back but I really want to because we've had a run of mediocre to bad dining experiences and The Alchemist has been one of the highlights.

Their cannery should be opening in September, I think, so beer lovers can buy Alchemist beer in cans and take it home. I am so fucking proud of him.

Of course, I'm also a smart-ass big sister. Today is my brother and sister-in-law's wedding anniversary, so I sent him this e-card: [link]

I regret nothing.
