happy mother's day indeed!
Today has been lovely. It is one of those great days when it is sunny and breezy. I got up this morning and went to the farmer's market and got some good fresh produce. The fish monger didn't smell too fishy for once, so I splurged and got some fresh halibut. Got various fresh herbs-- inclluding some lovely dill for the fish-- as well as some lovely asparagus that is still so new that it there is no wood to trim from the ends. Quite a score this late in the season.
There were cherries, but I passed on those because it seems too early to expect cherries to be very good. I did however, get a really good deal on some organic strawberries (3 pints for $5!). so now I am reposing on my couch quite contentedly with a bellyful of strawberries and multi-grain waffles. The waffles were made by The Boy, as they both insist that I not lift a finger today. The Girl sliced the strawberries and-- on my suggestion-- stirred in a splash of orange juice. A lovely breakfast. The only thing that could have made it better would have been perhaps some cointreau for the strawberries.... and maybe a bellini or two. Still, The Kids most definitely did their level best and for that I am truly thankful.
So now after a lovely and uneventful morning, I am watching "Banned From The Bible II" on the History Channel. Have I ever mentioned how much I love biblical history, especially when it involves non-canonical texts? I am trying to get The Kids to pay attention but they have never taken an interest in the bible. I guess I will just have to settle for the fact that they are at least letting me enjoy the doc in peace.
So... what's something you like that one wouldn't necessarily guess?
