I should be prepared after finding my friend's cat munching away IN the sealed container IN the barricaded closet.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

Which he took while eating all of the spiciest of New Orleans' offerings. And drinking it.
I recall a trip to New Orleans years ago where I was coming down with the sore throat portion of a flu when friends and I went out to eat at K-Paul's. Everyone thought I was crazy for ordering spicy jambalaya and eating it with tears streaming down my face.
Until they had a taste of it themselves, that is.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am not convinced by peanut butter and mushroom soup, even though I like both.

I'm not sure I am. I like pad thai, which is peanut butter with a bunch of stuff but normally not mushrooms. And I like peanut butter with pork and a lot of fusion stuff that includes peanut butter. But peanut butter and mushrooms does not sound like a good combination. But who knows. If I tried it, I might like it.

A problem with having a CSA is that it's 10:30pm and I need to go make pesto tonight before the basil goes bad.

Or having the temp hovering at 90 and realizing that the thing that is best done with apples and zucchini is to make bread. DOH too hot!

Pesto accomplished.
I think I've been so focused on being a grown up today to ignore some of the deeply trashy news that's been hitting my inbox about deadbeat family members and people I knew in high school.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Zmayhem are back from an overnight trip to the Monterey Aquarium where we celebrated JZ's dad's round number birthday. All the kids and their partners flew in and I brought the grandkids and he was very surprised and very pleased.
Dinner was spectacular. Emmett had lobster mac n' cheese as a starter and filet mignon for the main course. I had the best duck ever cooked in some kind of port wine reduction.
And then today the World's Greatest Aquarium! Sea otters! Young Sea Otters playing two inches from your nose! Giant Pacific Octopus! Hammerhead sharks and penguins and mesmermizing jellyfish and moray eels in every shade and tufted puffins and a massive Ocean Sunfish (so ill-shaped) and elaborate seahorses named Weedy Dragons and sea turtles that we took pictures of for Jess.
Long drive back home and we're all wiped but it was great for Emmett and Matilda to see all their Aunts and Uncles and the mid-week excursion was a great success.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, wow, seriously? They had a gigantic floating head on your visit? My one regret from my visit to Monterey was the absence of sunfish at that time. (More precisely, they claimed to have one, but it was a juvenile and not particularly distinguishable.)
