Or should I call you Mr. About to be My Dinner?
Yum.
Lobster from Sunday, with serrano chile, avocado, mango, mint and a few other mystery ingredients (I was talking (as usual) and didn't totally pay attention).
yes, it was as delicious as it looked.
no, he is not available for parties. ;-)
It all started with the wisteria. I love it because it's pretty, smells nice and gives us good privacy from neighbors who are way too close. But it's an invasive vine. And a trespasser to boot. It has absolutely no respect for property boundaries and this morning I realized that if something wasn't done, I would receive a letter from The Association (who live for that kind of crap).
So I got out my gloves and clippers and started whacking away. And when I realized the wisteria had successfully climbed the (worthless) lemon tree and was now climbing up our neighbor's rain gutter I got out the ladder and unraveled (and hacked at) the intruder. Then I realized that the (worthless) lemon tree was at least 20 feet tall and that my friend had said something like "citrus trees should be bushy, not tall" so I whacked at that too. And then I saw that the roses had a bunch of dead heads on them. Whack. And then I saw the weeds. Whack whack whack.
Two hours passed.
I brought out the garbage can and began stuffing it with the fruits of my labor. I had to jump up and down in it, with both feet, three different times, a la "I Love Lucy." Happily this didn't happen.
I broke a sweat, in fact I was downright stinky, so I'm definitely counting this as exersize. I'm scheduled to see my trainer again tomorrow and when he asks me what I have been doing (and eating) since I saw him last, this is what I will talk about.
The middle of the day was filled with errands (yawn).
When we returned home I figured out how to make a decent mojito (to make my husband happy) and homemade candy (to make my girls happy). Pink for Juju, blue for Cassandre (who is now too old for pink).
Now Xav is busy in the kitchen, cooking up these fellows, which makes me happy.
Only two hours until Deadwood.
