Not too much going on today. D and I had lazy lasagna for dinner, preceded by mesclun salad with lemon-tahini dressing, and followed by strawberry yogurt with a little granola. A little more than I usually eat when I cook at home, but what can I say, it was tasty.
The nastiness and humidity seems to have dissipated, leaving an autumn feeling in the air, which I always welcome. But it's a little sad. I went out on the terrace to read The Au Pairs, which is failing a little in its trash mission. Summer Boys was more successful trash. Which is not to say it's bad, it just could be better. Summer Boys and Summer Boys 2 were so good that I literally couldn't put them down. I read Summer Boys 2 in its entirety on the plane ride back from SF.
My college roommate may or may not visit this weekend. She called me when I was in San Fran and explained she had music camp and could stop by in NYC on the way back. She lives in DC. I apologized, saying I had an obligation but it would have been great to see her. Now the obligation is canceled, but I haven't been able to reach her at music camp. Her cell phone seems to be shut off - my calls go straight to voicemail. So I called her parents and left a message to see if they have the number of the music camp. We'll see. The last time I saw her was on New Year's Eve, when she and her boyfriend came to the city and had a rockin' time. (Sorry, I just wanted to use that word.) Her boyfriend's brother lives in Hell's Kitchen and is a wine expert. His job involves going to different wine shops and tasting the wares. I like it when people are really into things.

I'm reading these horribly cheesy "historical" teen romances by Avon Books. They're so much fun and so short that I can usually finish one in a day.
That lazy lasagna sounds good!!
I make something similar to that lazy lasagna, except I use ricotta cheese and bowtie pasta! I also bake mine in the oven for about 20 minutes and get the mozzarella all nice and crusty.
I might take Nicola and the Viscount out of the library :)
I miss DC so much!
If you want, I'd be happy to mail you those books. I finished reading them and would like to see them at in a good home! :)
Lisa, I feel your pain...in NYC, air conditioning just recently changed from an absolute necessity to an option. I hope that happens in Austin (and Dallas!) soon.
