bumba, there is a recipe in last month’s Vegetarian Times calling for edamame. I’ve never had it but the recipe looked very good. Please report back on how yours comes out.
Who mentioned making pulled pork for the first time? I keep hearing women at work here talk about making it in the crock pot; cook it all day and then rake it apart with a fork when you’re done. When I serve pulled pork barbecue, I get it from a place here in town. It’s pretty authentic Western Kentucky barbecue, which is not like Texas barbecue. I think it’s similar to what they do in North Carolina. Anyway, me the 10-year vegetarian, is now eating it because of Chet Adkins. No–Adkins diet. Or South Beach. Or The Zone. I don’t know. I just know hubby is doing low carb and I desperately want to get rid of this caboose I’m still carrying lo this entire YEAR now since the birth of the youngster. So, no pasta and rice for me, it’s mean-meat-meat all the time. Gah. I can’t wait to go back to being a vegetarian!
End rant.
We have been in our new house exactly one year! And it’s finally somehwhat spiffy looking, despite the fact that we have yet to put any art on the walls. Too big a commitment. We do have nice new furniture in several rooms, so we’re getting around to it. There is one room that has something hanging–one of the kids’ bathrooms. A perfectly charming beach scene…of doggies laying on their beach towels, sunning themselves! It’s so adorable. Actually the whole bathroom rocks, with this beach theme. There is a little hammock that holds the soap, and a ‘woody wagon’ dispenser for either soap or lotion. Plus a little unbrella toothbrush holder. Cute, cute cute. Our latest furniture purchase arrived last week, and dear husband set it up. It’s a lovely cherry computer desk for the living room, which doens’t look a thing like a desk! It has shelves above, and a large shelf for the monitor, and the keyboard is sequestered behind a drop-down drawer, which slides out. Beneath it are cabinets for the CPU, and everything is wired together so you just push centrally located buttons to turn off the monitor, etc. Oh! Also we got a cool wireless mouse for the laptop. It pans web pages for you. And has just a thumb-drive looking thingie stuck in the USB port to run it. No big old annoying mousie looking thing sitting on the desk to run it! (Which always seemed to defeat the purpose, sort of.)
swampy, it being October and all, has the swamp-pool been closed for the summer?
Congratulations to donkey/bear and his incomprehensible calculus thread for making THREADSPOTTING. I know nothing of calculus, and it was amusing to see [sqrt] in there. hee hee.
FCM prayers here too for your husband and his surgery!
And in keeping with the theme, I hearby announce that tonight Chez Cherry will consume tacos for dinner. It is Tuesday. The children love it when it’s Taco Tuesday, even though I hate coming home after working all day and chopping things up. But it’s eaiser than you might think. We mainly have refried black beans (try them: YUM), cheese, canned corn, salsa and fresh tomato on our tacos. Since gaining my carnivore husband, I sometimes have to brown some ground beef, too, and oh yeah I have to make rice for the children. So it’s a lot of work for something that doesn’t seem like it should be a lot of work.
Someone put leftover pie in our secretary’s office. I just ate a big glob of merangue right off my finger. Good times.
and both have had a treat. Bernie is crashed on the floor and Abby is exploring. No idea where the cat is hiding.
