Choctails

Sometimes I feel like I'm running out of new experiences, and fear that I'm becoming jaded. Well, I did discover something new tonight. It was a chocolate place, with a hard-to-remember French name. It was noteworthy for several reasons:

1) it was very cute
2) it had choctails, little chocolates, and the best hot chocolate I've had - very thick and rich.

I feel like I drank too much - some strawberry liqueur and white chocolate champagne.

A third thing - they played "Mushaboom" by Feist from Crystal's mix CD, which I am still totally obsessed with, and listen to daily. Sometimes multiple times.

Gross, Mike. Not together.. one by one would be much better. :)

B- I love that CD now! It took me a little to get warmed up to it but I really like it too. I listen to it daily and even put in on my Ipod. Kudos to Crystal for introducing me to new music. And I totally love #9... "let's pretend we don't exist.. let's pretend we're in antartica!"

Lostintx - hee. D thought that song said "let's pretend that we're an octagon."

M - I guess the combo of white chocolate champagne and pasta might be difficult for some, but to each his own, right? Maybe it's a good post-biking snack ;)

D - I think it's Michel Clauvizel.

Hay and I love Feist and particularly Mushaboom! Sometimes we both walk around chanting just that word. Did you know Mushaboom is also a town in Nova Scotia?!

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

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

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.
