Since the grapevine was thriving while it was buried under paving stones and weeds, my strategy is to continue to neglect it while providing an arbor for it to climb on. Seems to be working. I just went out to make sure it wasn't drying up (since I haven't even been watering it) and not only are the leaves lush and green, the grapes are starting to purple up. I might need to add to the arbor for next year.

I have hung up 9 pictures this weekend. Happy to have accomplished something, however minor, in the house.

I'm watching teens on Chopped, and this one kid has not said he is gay, but he has said he was "born this way" (about being a chef), and just said his plate is "fit for a queen." I think there was something else I now forget. Hilarious. Also he wants to have his own dinner theater that he cooks and performs in.

Our wings are not tired.
grumble grumble My family is never on time. We are supposed to be at the location for MIL birthday in half an hour, it takes us that long to get there. DH has not showered yet. I know that the guest of honor and the rest of the family will all be late, but I Like To Be On Time. I am showered and dressed and ready to go of course. grumble grumble

It the curse of the punctual to wait around, Laura.
Breakfast concoction currently in progress: layers of kale, Canadian bacon, poached duck egg, Hollandaise, and custard. I hope it comes out okay. Trying out my new poaching pan - I think I like it.

One of the Readercon committee is an amateur gourmet chef, so he demo'd making ice cream scientifically via liquid nitrogen. I had a dab of dark chocolate ice cream (literally the size of a melon ball because that's how it was served out) that was sinfully delicious, but I'm probably going to regret it later tonight.
The program item was entitled "Science Considered As A Helix of Semi-Frozen Cones."
