Tonight the lovely Mary came over for dinner. Mary is having a baby in 3 months which has me way excited making little baby things!
Tonight for dinner I brined a couple pork chops and then rubbed them with Penzey’s Galena rub and threw them on the grill. I softened half a stick of butter, added chili powder and lime juice and used that to baste the corn on the cob which was also on the grill. I served that with a salad of greens, tomato and chevre with a mustard vinaigrette (made with homemade mustard) and rosemary, sundried tomato focaccia.
The brining kept the pork chops juicy and flavorful, they were wonderful.
For dessert I served the mexican chocolate ice cream that I posted earlier and we sauced it with the raspberry sauce she made from the raspberries in her yard.
I ate til it hurt and the food was delicious. I still have half a loaf of focaccia! Someone come help me eat it.

Why pants?
Why is it that I automatically answer any “where” question with “in my pants”. It’s so ingrained in me.
“Where’s my mom?”
“In my pants”
“Where will it stop”
“in my pants”
“Where is the best place to purchase cut rate semi-precious jewels besides the black market?”
“in my pants, bitch”

David misses me.
I miss David.
I’m going down to see him! Hopefully in two weeks!
Very excited, can’t wait to see New Orleans again. The aquarium is open and so is the zoo! and I need to find out if Liuzzas is open again as well.
I miss David a lot.
keep on…
I’m still tweaking the colors and any feedback would be appreciated. I really like the grey background here next to the pink but my suspicion is that it won’t be all that popular. Yes? No? let me know, you are the ones who have to read it.
Owen called me tonight to invite me out to a drink. It was lovely and perfect. We’d both been home alone for too long, we were going batty. It hadn’t even occured to me how batty I was getting until we got together. Perhaps the fact that I was scrubbing the bathroom at one in the morning should have been an indicator that I needed more human contact.
Or maybe the fact that I shunned all human contact and declined all invites for the fourth so i could stay at home and perfect my sausage recipe. I got problems, I really do.
