Hot enough for ya?

You betcha! ;-) I love hazy hot and humid it's like a rainy cold day in the winter, stay in, love the pups and get inside stuff done... but I hate to waste sunshine-- but after 45 seconds of enjoying said sunshine I'm hot, sticky, and looking for AC and a tall glass of water. Hard to believe 3 nights ago I was sleeping with the windows open and under a sheet... Mother Nature is apparently in a mood.

So... dinner last night was a great if messy success... Bubba liked the spicy chicken lettuce wraps, and the cake with the berries were a big hit. Nice to know I can still read and follow directions without fire or other type mishaps... although I did nearly miss an egg in the cake mixture but found it in plenty of time and did not upset the flour-lemon juice - repeat and repeat symbiotic input to cake making. Now here is the question why do recipes do that? Put in one egg at the time, then alternate flour and juice then spin around three times before you put it in the oven, make the sign of the cross as you slide it in and maybe you'll be able to eat this without gagging.

Or maybe that's just my method to ensure the last 30 minutes of my life weren't wasted.

I have also come to realize that I am a very messy cook, I made this brilliant deduction this morning as I faced this mound of dishes and discovered flour, sugar and general mess everywhere... but it is clean now and since Bubba isn't home it will stay that way until exactly .5 seconds after his return. I think he hides dirty glasses around the house and when he sees that the sink is empty he finds one and places it in my newly cleaned sink. He must think an empty sink is a lonely sink. Someday I may just kill him for that, but the doctor said these new meds will ease those moods. ;-)

Although it was a great deal of fun to watch my mother nearly choke the living life out of said husband when he pulled the great-dirty-glass-in-a-clean-sink routine while she was here and I was laid up. My 5'2" mother got all up in his face and proceeded to show said husband how one can, without risk to fingers or limbs, put a glass in a dishwasher. Too bad the lesson didn't stick but it was still fun to watch.

So, I'm off to pay bills while we still have paychecks coming in and do laundry and enjoy NATIONAL BOOK LOVERS DAY... Read a book, expand your mind or just forget the world around you with a broad chested Highlander :-)

Monday!
