The Mets are leading the majors in grand slams allowed, which I'm finding to be one of the least pleasant superlatives to watch your team achieve. The U.S. exited the World Cup - disappointing, as I was really getting into the team vibe. I'll root for the Dutch now, because they're orange and fun and I just got a dutch Gazelle road frame from the late 70's.
I received the unexpected birthday present of selling one of my bikes to Wyatt Cenac of the Daily Show. We are not new-best-friends yet, but there's time.
Becky and I have a full-season of weddings to attend from now through December, having only knocked-out Buffalo thus far, and peaking Labor Day weekend when we'll be attempting a New-Jersey-New-Hampshire-Saturday-Sunday-flip-twist-turnpike. 5.8 difficulty (out of 6).
There have been some mighty achievements in the kitchen the last 2 months. These include:
fish tacos with fresh tortillas and avocado/sour-cream sauce
artichoke and tomatillo soup with blended white beans (this was a home run as far as warm-weather soups go)
and this plate of
pasta from last night, which while simple, was so summery fresh (it's all in the peas, kids!), that even brutal 90-degree-quilt-like-humidity couldn't stop the chow-down.

So glad you wrote. I was getting mighty tired of the Blind Side post. And may I have the recipe for the soup?
ReplyDeleteGood summary. And great work in the kitchen. I have a lot of trouble deciding what to cook when it's 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity. Everything just seems too hot. And ice cream is just not so nourishing.
