It’s Spring! Time to get the eff outdoors!
Our nephew trying to murder my bubbles at my in-laws’ last Sunday
I’m going to try this whole back-deck-garden thing again — I have NO IDEA what I’m doing. (cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, rosemary, basil)
Many thanks to Leslie for graciously letting me get dirt all over her car.
And finally, possibilities for the front yard:
How was your week?
This week I:
– worked on a new story. This one’s about dire diner consequences, and what happens when you don’t clean your plate.
– planned out a back-deck overhaul, spending way too much time browsing decorating sites, until I subconsciously started colour-coding my desk:
– went to The Early Bird, which is quickly becoming my favourite place on Earth. By day, it’s a kickass rock diner:
…by night it’s a crushed-velvet leopard-printed rock bar. They have a sandwich called the Fat Elvis: French toast layered with peanut butter, bacon, and deep fried bananas. Best heart attack food ever. I bumped into the lovely Chef Chainsaw outside (she’ll have her own post later.)
– went to a house party, had a fantastic time, succeeded in not peeing my pants from laughing so hard. It’s the minor victories in life, really.
– went thrifting with my Dude, something we haven’t done in a long time. The store has mannequins now…
…I was a little afraid to turn my back on this one. I’m pretty sure his hand was molded like that so he could hold a shiv.
Now I’m off to craft some creepy words and search for stock images of questionable meat. I love my life!
How was your week?
I made these tonight using this recipe, which is super easy and remarkably tasty. If you’ve never made bread before, start here!
