Notes from a sleepy serene

[serene]

1) It was Mom Food Night: Lovely lasagna dinner (well, lasagna, salad with roasted tomatoes and balsamic vinegar, fresh sourdough bread, roasted elephant garlic, steamed broccoli, and homemade ice cream -- thanks for the excellent machine, klwalton!) with tracytreefrog, berkeleyfarm, sogwife, and someotherguy. (Charlotte, you left your wine. If you'll drink it or cook with it, I can take it by your place.) And I managed to get everyone to take a hunk of lasagna home, so there's not quite as much lurking in the fridge as there might be otherwise. That was some good shit, but then a recipe that starts out with 4 pounds of meat and 4 pounds of cheese kinda has something going for it from the get-go, huh?

2) Caught up with an old friend (misanthropoid, do you remember Jake from the old listserv?) and that was just lovely. We always manage to pick up where we left off, and there's a lot of love there.

3) Gonna do some experimenting with my diet, starting tomorrow. If I decide to write about it here (may or may not), I'll likely create an opt-in filter.

4) My kitchen looks like something exploded in there. It may take me a full day to get it clean again. It was totally worth it.

5) Once again, I am faced with a bunch of plans for the weekend, and a possibility that I'll blow off some or all of them. Such is life.

Hope everyone out there in LJ Land is doing well. I'll try to catch up with your doings tomorrow. Today was all about the lasagna. :-)

Everything was yummy sorry you have to clean I forgot to get that book you mentioned. Oh well getting to take home the lasagna was the important part*giggles*

3) I've been experimenting with my diet all my life, trying to figure out what makes me feel good, what makes me feel lousy, what makes my mucosa happy so that I can sing well, etc. Opt me in.

It was glorious, thank you!

I may have also left my phone (although it's possible that I left it on my office desk). Black flip phone. Turned off so I can't call it to check. Let me know what time someone will be around and I can swing by (after about 4-ish).

I'll go look for the phone now. We'll be home most of the day, and if we're not home, we won't be more than a 20-minute walk away. My cellphone number is 510-780-6630.

About the only one I remember from the old list was the fellow who owned or managed the campground. That could well have been Jake as whoever it was made enough of an impression on me that I was shooting you "resorts for sale" info not so terribly long ago.

By the way, aren't you glad you didn't buy into the Bay area real estate market back then?

:-) Ray was his name. And no, no, no -- if I'd bought Bay Area real estate back then, I'd own my home now, this home I hope never to leave, ever. :-)
