Cooked all day, tired now.
Jul. 12th, 2009 08:26 pmFor breakfast:
Blueberry pancakes with fresh fruit on top
Bacon
For the week:
Black beans w/ wild & brown rice
Four days' worth of chicken stir-fry and rice for H's lunches, plus extra rice
Banana bread
Lazy E French bread (baguette dough poured into a pan to save me having to shape it)
Tomorrow's dinner:
Imam bayildi (mmm, eggplant)
Quinoa with golden raisins
Broiled Niman Ranch marinated lamb chops... hoping to use these to use up some lemon-cumin-yogurt sauce I had in the fridge; we'll see if the sauce works with the marinade
I'm too tired to want to eat much. Had some imam bayildi and a slice of toast w/ goat cheese and sundried tomatoes warmed on top. Lazy person's pizza.
Did I mention I was tired?
(And I still managed to get my class prep done. Go, me.)
(Hardi's just as glad he spent the day hanging with the guys, I'm sure. I think I'm going to need to start doing the big cooking days on Fridays. Or possibly making him help. Actually that sounds nice. Actually he just rang to tell me he was going to stop at the store for me ♥ and said he'd be happy to help me cook. Win!)

Ten things make a post
Jun. 27th, 2009 08:00 pmI'm ridiculously behind on updates. So, randomly:
1. Teaching summer school. Last week was 2 of 6. It's going amazingly well and my students are both awesome and happy.
2. Saw Star Trek a few weeks ago. It was a giant steaming plate of meh with a large dollop of lamesauce and a generous side of crunchy-fried plot holes.
3. Summer fruit season. Mmmmm, fruit. Ooh, and there's the microwave announcing that my apricot crisp is done. It's better in the oven, but it's way too damn hot for that. Also there's corn cooling on the stove and my fridge is fully of excellent produce. I loves me some farmer's market.
4. Speaking of the oven, we've been baking bread pretty regularly. Niiiiice.
5. Hardi and I celebrated our twelfth anniversary last weekend. It was lovely. ♥
6. I've been reading a ton of good books lately. *is happy*
7. My container garden is flourishing. Some good lengths of chicken wire wrapped around the benches where the pots are sitting are keeping the cats out, so stuff is finally getting the chance to grow undisturbed. My first johnny-jump-ups and nasturtiums are blooming. Squee.
8. The cats are very well. Such a relief after the last few years of Locke's and Kiri's lives.
9. I haz an iPhone.
10. My arms are much of the suckage. :/
How's by you?

The thing to know about Robin McKinley's blog writing is that she is very conversational in her style, which includes hilarious use of italics and a plethora of footnotes. In fact, the title of her blog?
Days in the Life*
* with footnotes
So I've copied and pasted and then restored the italics because her writing is so much more fun that way.
