Pizza Monday

Ooh, I put a leek confit-goat cheese concoction on half my pizza tonight, and it was goooood. I did a margherita on the other, and T did a salami margherita. Leeks are awesome. They are such an underused ingredient. We're going to take an after-dinner walk right now because, as T says, "we can." I'm getting the boys tomorrow and will love to see them, but this has been an awesome little holiday. Aah. Do you know another awesome oldie song? "Brandy" by Looking Glass. Great freaking song. I listened to SO much music today- it was really fun.

Hit a wall but am back

Well, after I made the gumbo, walked Percy, cleaned up, did laundry, and delivered some of the gumbo to a dear friend who provided much comfort when O was in the hospital recently, I crashed. I think it was unloading the silverware from the dishwasher that put me over the edge- I hate that job. Anyway, I took a nap!! And then played some Angry Birds!! And now I'm pepped up again, ready to something wonderful with the rhubarb. I think I'm going to make mini pies and experiment with the freezing thing: one cooked, one uncooked- freeze both and see what happens. I'll make a third one for dessert tonight, and while I hope this isn't a colossal waste of good fruit and labor, I just must know if freezing is a possibility in the pie department. I'll let you know.

It's 9:30a, and I'm in heaven

I slept until I woke up. I had coffee and read the paper. I worked in the yard. I'm making chicken and sausage gumbo. Gloria Gaynor is singing. People, it is really nice to be alone in your own home sometimes!
