rootofnewtThis is what greeted me when I went in to put the potatoes in the potato-kale soup.
My beloved oxalis.
Tom caught me looking over my shoulder at the approaching storm. Fortunately, I managed to pot my tulips before the wind hit. It was an awesome storm--fast, quick, dark with bright lightning. No hail or funnels, but I wouldn't be surprised if some were spawned by that system. Yes, I'm wearing a Terminal Ready shirt. My gauze skirt is pulled between my legs and tucked in my waistband so I can run back and forth fetching pots. ;)
The opossum has a friend besides boy.
Kitchen, south window. Spider plants, oxalis, windowbox with dill and pennyroyal sprouts (on the window side, I had a few cups of morning glories)... On the microwave, morning glory and two covered trays of flower and vegetable seedlings.
Kitchen, west window. Sanseveria, violets, a white oak acorn in the cup by the window, aloe in the two big pots on the right, jade in one, basil plant in a bag. On the floor, an old skillet holding the morning glory seedlings. Most of my cookbooks and cooking magazines have been taken to the new house. There are a few cookbooks, some magazines, and a bunch of printed recipes I need to put in a binder.
This is Major, one of the roaming black labs. I took this pic a couple weeks ago.

krues8drwill burn in hell for wearing a neubauten shirt tucked into khakis, but I won't tell if you won't.
Pictures of the new place. I particularly like the view on the other side of the backyard fence. And,ashbet, we have curtains that match your wallpaper.
I made a big pot of baklazhani tonight. It took me about an hour and a half to cut everything up and get the preliminary sauteeing done. I forgot how labor intensive it can be. I don't mind. I enjoy the whole process of skinning tomatoes (score bottom, put in bowl, pour on boiling water, cover, let sit for a bit, then slide skins off and gut tomato, chopping as I go). It's nice and gory.red_frog, are we still on for dinner? The apricot pirozhki don't take as long to make. What else should I bring? Do you want or need me to go shopping for anything else? Do you want boy to help with the beast-dish?
Right now, I'm eating a big bowl of pesto tortellini topped with tomato, portabello mushroom, and olive sauce. mmmm...

Date: 2003-03-24 07:05 pm (UTC)Across my field the fresh breeze sweeps.
Towering pines at the edges weep,
opening pores to the coming storm.
Billowing clouds blot out the sun---
one quarter left of shining sky,
bright blue, waving its last goodbye,
gobbled up in a maw of gray.
