Summer in the City

Dave is on his own treatment kick. He came back from his last appt with his specialist Monday with a copy of a "Dropping Acid- the Alkaline Diet cookbook"! We started sampling the recipes this week, which are a little lackluster. We had Shrimp in Angel Hair last night sans butter with a clam juice and chicken stock substituted for red sauce. The results were a little bland and soupy so we are pressing on. Trying Asian Chicken Stir Fry next with faux-chook. Bring on the salt and pepper I say!




I hope your week is going well. It continues to be warm here (in the 90s). We may go for the day to Fire Is with Raff and friends this Saturday if the weather holds. I am taking off to the pool today with a friend, once I get the transfer done, to read my copy of Get her Off the Pitch! I picked it up Monday and haven't put down. She is very funny. Traveling to interesting places, meeting interesting people and writing about them- now there's a dream job.



Ordering glazes online for the ceramics class this morning.I hope this doesn't turn into one of those frightful art projects where you invest lots of time and money into and then have to bury the results!! :) I'm warning you, when you come for a visit next summer and are are standing in our lounge room taking a deep swallow of your cocktail and catch a glimpse of a misshapen object listing on the mantelpiece, fight the urge to say, "Flea market find?"
