I tried to make barley with a mushroom/onion/garlic/wine thing mixed in it tonight. I got everything all cut, sauteed and simmered down and went to add the barley, only to find out we didn't have any in the house.

But while searching for the barley, I did find a box of chocolate chip granola bars.

So I turned off the stove and ate the bars instead.

This not-having-all-the-ingredients happens to me about 10% of the time. I really should start checking beforehand.

Anyway. Probably the mushroom stuff will be good with spaghetti or something later. It doesn't matter, I'm sort of full on granola bars now.

Love, J

This video is

1.) The best part of my day because it's so funny; and

2.) The worst part of my day because the show it's advertising isn't real, and that is just tragic.

I'm not purposely on a Maurice Sendak kick, this just fell into my lap on Facebook.

It's over 9 minutes but oh, so worth it.

~ I meant to change the way I title posts at the New Year, then forgot. Dates are better, 'cause a lot of my titles were lame. This takes the pressure off.

~ I've made it halfway through today and run out of steam. I would blame it on my breakfast of cookies, but that would preclude a lunch of cookies, and that's what I'm having right now.

~ This is sweet:

~ A large cookie crumb just rolled down the front of my overalls and into the keyboard. Now the spacebar keeps jamming. Damn.

~ I think this is an amusing way to parent.

~ Here's a funny rabbit, from Aunt Micky:



~ At various points in the future, I see myself being in the market for: a career; some long-ish term travel; a new bicycle; a fireplace; a haircut; a grant for River's Wish; a bathroom re-do; a trip with G to the La Brea tar pits; a shower; more cookies.

~ The hubs made this for dinner at Step-dad's house a couple nights ago. It was good. (But he put half of it in the blender for a second at the end and then mixed it all up and it was a much better consistency than the original recipe.)

~ He also tried this one last month. It wasn't as popular, though I'm kind of obsessed with the roasted cauliflower. I think I'll have to try growing some cauliflower this summer.

~ Several of the rabbits are in the middle of a big-ass shed-fest, which means that despite our best efforts to sweep and dustmop, oh, at least three times a day, walking through the living room still creates a swirling storm of bunny fuzz in your wake. It's tremendously frustrating, and I'm hoping dim lighting will disguise it when everyone comes over tomorrow for dinner.

We saw the goats again

Ha, can you tell I've been busy working? Long days on my feet = evenings on the couch curled around my embroidery hoop; not much to blog about.

I may try to sneak my camera in to work sometime to take pictures of the greenhouses, though the best parts aren't photograph-able: the sunny, balminess that fogs up my glasses as I come inside from the cold, and the neat, satisfying feeling of clipping leaves as I tidy the houseplants up for customers. Even though it's hardly the stuff a career is made of, it's a pretty sweet for-now gig.

We did make the trek to River's Wish last weekend to visit our favorite baby goats. They've come a long way since we first met them. Where before they both sort of tottered around newborn-Bambi-style, now they hop like fleas all over the place. They both liked to jump on our backs when we leaned over, and they gummed the crap out of my coat.

Said coat now smells like goat, but I can't say that's a bad thing.




Love, J
