What's For Dinner

We have decided to start a new weekly meal calendar this month, limiting our shopping to only Sunday & Wednesday, and scheduling the type of meal we'll cook and eat every day of the week. Lots of variation, of course (Sunday night is "carbohydrate with veggies" night), but we're hoping it a) makes sure we eat more regularly b) keeps us from eating out in desperation c) limits the grocery bills, which climb exponentially the more we make last minute runs for individual meals.

Monday nights, though, are Cook Something New Nights. So tonight I picked a recipe out of Deborah Madison's The Greens Cookbook: Red and Yellow Pepper Tart. I think I either made to many peppers, or didn't spread the tart crust high enough, but either way it seems to have overflowed somewhat. Smells pretty amazing though.

Food = Art

A heart shaped cherry, in my breakfast this morning. Happy Monday!

Happy Pride!

Watching the Pride Parade in downtown Seattle... The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence perform.

Sordid Lives

The Seattle Mens Chorus sings to Leslie Jordan in Comedy Tonight, their summer show. HILARIOUS, of course, as any show including both the Sperm Song and a baton twirling corps would be.

Not The Early Worm

On the way to work I saw a robin with a huge worm that turned out to be a baby snake. I scared away the bird, but he was still pissed, hissing at me while I took this picture.

Talina's sister Khylia is in town visiting us this week, and we made a stop at the Troll in Fremont on our way home from the Solstice Festival last night... alas, he remained a troll, and it appears she'll have to find a man in the ordinary manner.

Lots more pictures of her visit and our vacation week over at Flickr...

Needless to Say, I Lost...

T and her sister debate the finer points of kicking my ass at the Garage.

Happy Solstice!

Alls Well That Ends Well

Shakespeare at the Center House Theater. If anyone ever tells you to knock at her window at midnight and, while there, not speak or look upon her... Be suspicious.

What's For Dinner

Sautéd chard, homemade cornbread, and honey-basil "salmon".

Cherries and Cards

We Can Make It If We Try

Headed south toward Wenatchee, from wine country up by Lake Chelan.

Sexy and the Roast Beast

Visiting the hat store (make that Hat Store) in Leavenworth, WA, with T and her sister.

The Revolution

Reading at Cal Anderson, thankful for the sun!

Family News

My grandfather got a write-up in the local paper... thought I'd post HIS picture here today.

Past Tense

Ah, Atlanta.

Smells Like Seattle

Trapped in a summer storm on the Georgia 400. At least the temp dropped below 90!

Oh

Why it is easy to get lost in Atlanta

Islands in the Sea

Hood and ??? Rise snowcapped above a variety of wooded areas, both logged and fire burned. Those puffy harmless clouds hide the unseasonably cold weather... Where did summer go?

No Space Makes Space For Art

That crazy art building by my apartment is having a gallery opening this evening. Hurrah for local art!

What's For Dinner?

Deviled eggs, broccoli, pancakes and rummed bananas, fresh cantelope, and a mojito

Yeah, I dunno. It sounded good at the time...

Kitty Arts and Crafts

Paying $100 for a scratching post vs raiding the recycling bin? Easy choice. Maybe if I hadn't used green tape it might look a little less handmade... :)

Accident on Denny

See No Evil

Yeah, its totally been that kind of week. Its dark and wet outside and work has been knee deep... I just want to go back home and curl up with a blanket and book. Or two.

Look A Bug

Under Water

On my god it is raining an entire Great Lake out there.
