We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I made a pie crust this morning for another peach pie, this one vegan. But I'm really enjoying this whole vodka crust thing, it really helps my overcaution about too much liquid in the crust.

Also went on a nice slow bike ride with my siblings -- my younger brother the bike racer had his 7-yo daughter on the rear seat of his tandem bike. She contributed nothing, and was just along as ballast. Too funny.

And now for a shower, try once again to take the door off the old dishwasher, and off to get a beer in the sun with my older brother, before getting pizza in JLS with dad.

Not a bad day.

I hope everyone else gets a good day, too.

Hey, my water regulations have changed. Instead of odd-numbered days, I can now water on Tuesdays and Fridays. That's actually easier for me to remember. All the other restrictions are disallowing things I already don't do. I don't think I'm going to cut 28% of my water consumption just by following the rules, somehow.

Trying to get things done on a holiday weekend are such a bitch.

I have asparagus, cauliflower, and lamb prepared and ready to go in their sous vide baths. Unfortunately, they all need different temperatures and different times so it won't be one meal, but it'll eventually all get eaten I'm sure.

Have made progress on other stuff but not actually finished much of anything. Oh well, two more days for that.

I didn't dust and vacuum today. I did, however, take 150 photographs, film and digital. Oops.

Is making guacamole at midnight a sign that you're too drunk or too sober?

This was all in aid of making a burrito, or course.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It's a sign that you need guacamole!

Mmm, guacomole. Mmm, burrito. Mmm, 150 photos.

Asparagus came out great and I remembered to save a bit to join an omelet later. Cauliflower also quite nice. Lamb will be done simmering (or whatever the correct verb is) around 7 or 8 tomorrow morning, I think I will not do the finishing roast right then.

I made some strawberry/blueberry/jicama "salsa" but realized I have no appropriate containers for that or for the quinoa salad I was going to make. Don't want to bring the glass bowl I tossed it in to my friend's party and maybe break or forget it. Guess I have to go to the store tomorrow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I came home late-ish and starving so I made a mixing bowl's worth of salad with tuna and avocado and devoured it instanter.

Also, Emmett called me yesterday from camp to wish me a belated birthday, which was sweet.
