I really miss my iPod. I use it to work out and I have Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You" on it. I know I could listen to it on my computer, but it's just not the same. The shuffle...the element of surprise and delight...sigh. I guess I will just drag my carcass to the Apple store and get it replaced. Hopefully it is still under warranty.

I was able to sneak in a bike ride tonight, wearing a tank top with a sweater over it, and it was plenty warm.

In keeping with Liz's refrigerator meme, I will share the contents of one of my fridge shelves with you. I'm a little embarrassed about my nekkid, New York-style fridge (Liz's looks much more nourishing and healthy) but to heck with it. I'll actually just do all the shelves...the contents are that sparse.

seltzer water (D)
Scotch (D, although he doesn't drink it often)
soy milk (me)
skim milk (D)
raisins
dates
mozzarella cheese
Muenster cheese (my favorite)
sweet potato soup
2 containers of Light 'n' Lively cottage cheese
1 Stonyfield farm yogurt (strawberry flavored)
grapes

Except for the scotch, sounds awfully healthy to me. Mine consists of bread and old milk and probably some old yogurt that my husband didn't get around to eating.

I wish I liked cottage cheese.

Sounds healthy to me, too---even the scotch!

I haven't done mine yet, but it will consist mostly of condiments and leftover containers of various vintages.

I also keep forgetting to catalog a book "shelf." I'll have to do a pile or a room or something because I don't have any shelves.

hehe :)

i left out pine nuts, which are also on the second shelf.

i don't like cottage cheese by itself, but if you mix and heat it with marinara, it's an awesome sauce for egg noodles (you can also sprinkle marinara on top).

It is actually Johnnie Walker, Black Label. I think someone gave it to him as a gift.

Hehe ;) It's gone now. I think I might make it regularly, though. It really rocks.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
