And we are wrapping things up today...
Its my last day of vacation here in the chilly New England area...I don't look forward to the burning inferno that awaits me at home...I am gonna soak up as much of this weather as I can before descending into the melty goodness of my town...
I saw one of the baby robins again today, so at least some of them are still in the yard...he zoomed right up to his parent, asking for eats, but got none...time to feed yourself, I guess, dude...good luck with that...I think there are plenty of treats and eats in the woods for everyone, so I'm sure they'll be just fine...
Mostly we've been knitting, watching Sweeney Todd and Juno and eating shepherd's pie and cupcakes...at least I don't have to fend for myself, someone brings my meals to me every day and they are home cooked...I can barely make a peanut butter sandwich for myself at home, I know I'm gonna miss eating like this...I'm pretty sure I'll get an email w/ the recipes, the trick will be if I can manage to boil a pot of water or sprinkle olive oil on my salad by myself...but, its so nice when someone else cooks for you, why do I have to do it myself...I can make pasta, I cook some evil tortellini and ravioli...I need to become one with my kitchen and learn the ways of the zen cook...do not fear the spatula, for it can be your greatest friend...do not let the waffle iron (oh, who am I kidding) intimidate you, you can master it...I have a red crock pot that I bought over two years ago- I've never cooked anything in it...its covered in dust, mostly...I do use an old blender to make hummus, I can grind up garbanzos, tahini and jalapenos pretty nicely, so at least they will find some remnants of a civilization in my home when they come looking for me...how about poor Hedviga - they found her in her Croatia apartment - been dead in her bed since 1973...who was paying her rent? who was paying her electric, or was it shut off...was there no landlord to check on her in 35 years? What a wacky world we live in...
