Last night I made cheese blitzes with strawberries for dinner. I suppose this is understandable, seeing as I had Thai food for breakfast. The blintzes were really good. How can you go wrong with massive quantities of butter fat and a bit of sugar?
Today was a day of shopping. Managed to buy almost all of the things on the list for Burning Man. I now have a ridiculously comprehensive first aid kit. I'm currently running on the assumption that the van will get fixed in time for Burning Man. If, somehow, this turns out not to be the case I'll get to throw more money at the problem. Sigh. Most of what still needs to be bought is food. Maybe we're being a bit over-ambitious, but I and my two kitchen bitches, zestyping and eeyore_grrl, are making a 6 course italian dinner.
The menu:
*appetizer- mushroom pate on crusty bread (or cheese for those heathens that don't like mushrooms)
*pasta- spaghetti al limone (lemon spaghetti- very light and yummy)
*veggies- Panzenella (bread salad- it's like bruschetta, only more so)
*beans- garbanzos with spinach
*side dish- grilled polenta with asparagus and parmesan
*dessert- berries in berry sauce
Tomorrow I'm going to a concert with my friend that owns Cool Neon, so I'll get to discuss my cacti plans with him, and hopefully come up with a plan for the EL wire.
Wednesday I'm going to go down to San Jose to watch Blues Brothers at a free outdoor showing. You should come join us.
