Boiled Potatoes
Hard Boiled Eggs
Melon-balled a Watermelon; gave up after half, decided to drink
Watermelon+Lime+Grapefruit Juice+Vodka+Ice=Amazing cocktails
We had In & Out Burgers for dinner, with animal fries. I was going to make pork chops, parsley potatoes and carrots, but In & Out seemed easier than cleaning up after my watermelon fiasco and then cooking again. We watched Steven Fry in America. Apparently instead of buying a house, I could have bought a missile silo in Kansas... (or was it Nebraska?). Damn.
I'm reading The Black Veil by Rick Moody. I'm really enjoying it, but I'm sad that I fall asleep so quickly at night.
Day 2:
Potato Salad a la Mom (You know, the usual: potatoes, hard boiled eggs, diced onion, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, apple cider vinegar)
Chocolate Bundt Cake with a Cherry Glaze
Fried Chicken
It was raining this morning; absolutely gorgeous balmy 80-something degree morning. Two cups of coffee into the day, I'd read my email, looked about on the Face-Space, and read the news. Because of the weather I was enjoying the patio; birds chirruping; the smell of wet dirt. Andrew came out for a cigarette, and we walked over to look at a cactus that has grown a bunch; I turned around noticed that there was some grass growing out of our Texas Mountain Laurel; I leaned over to pick it, and twenty seconds later- tah dah! my feet were covered with giant ants. Biting ants. I screamed like a little girl. After crying a little, washing my feet with soap, covering them in a baking soda paste, I realized I was stranded in the bathroom... or I would make a giant mess. "Andrewwwwwwwwwwww......... help meeeeeeeeeee......" I whined, in my most pathetic whine. He came and solved my problems with some socks. At least the ant bites got me out of a dreadful afternoon with the not-in-laws' family and friends...
[Did boring things: cleaned yesterday's mess; made potato salad, cleaned potato salad mess, read stuff on the internet]
Apparently the US made it official: Mermaids do not exist.
[Did more boring stuff: baked a cake, made cherry icing for said cake, watched TV on Netflix, made fried chicken, ate fried chicken, cleaned kitchen for the third time in one day]
Grabbed a couple beers with my beau, and mosied down to the river bed to watch the fireworks. Drank more beer. More beer. Lit own fireworks... Went to bed.
Day 3:
Pork Chops
Parsley Fried Red Potatoes
Mint Carrots
Got bored of writing about it.....
