Thursday thirteen

1. I met a King Charles Cavalier cocker spaniel named Lucy last night, with white-and-butterscotch coloring.
2. I have also become friends with 2 cats on 26th Street.
3. Their names are unpronounceable.
4. Fall is my favorite season.
5. I often fear that I would have a favorite child (if I have children).
6. Kale is one of my favorite vegetables.
7. My college roommate is coming to visit this weekend.
8. I'm planning to make vegan banana-blueberry pancakes for us on Saturday morning.
9. I like the penguins and polar bears at the zoo best.
10. And, of course, pandas -- when they're available.
11. One of my guilty pleasures is the Def Leppard song, "Photograph."
12. One of my standby dishes is penne, kale and white beans.
13. If I had to pick a favorite restaurant in Manhattan, it would be Angelica Kitchen.

Last weekend I made a dish called "Tuscan Spaghetti", spaghetti with kale, white beans, diced tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. It was good, but I still love the rigatoni with zucchini recipe. ;)

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

[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.
