Weekend indulgence...

[lagilman]

This was a weekend, if not without deadlines, without stressful deadlines.

Saturday was all about the farmer's market and indulgent afternoons, and some continuing work on a client manuscript.  But that indulgent afternoon also led to the discovery that my spice cabinet had a mild infestation of bugs (as too often happens when you have a lot of organic flours, grains, and herbs).  So Sunday morning was spent trashing half of them and putting the others in the freezer to see if they can be salvaged, wiping down all the cabinets in the kitchen, and cleaning out the pantry too, while I was at it, to make sure I got all of the bastards.

It's more annoying than anything, and as someone said, at least now I can go buy new spices, which I always enjoy, but.... gr.  Not how I'd planned to spend the morning.  Still, if that's the worst that happens...

On the plus side, the felines were highly active and playful all day - they may have been getting stoned off cleaning supplies - and there was much chasing-of-tails and pouncing-on-noses.

And then I went off to have dinner at Atlantic Grill with my sister for her birthday.  No, her card does not say "you're older than dirt."  I did that one last year.

(she's 52.  That's a +10 saving roll on being The Answer)

There was a watermelon gazpacho for a starter, and grilled Bronzino that was to die for, and a mixed-berry cobbler with strawberry gelato that was also to die for, and then I - indirectly and unintentionally - introduced my sister to the honey badger meme.  Ooops.  (she's now singing "badger badger badger" to the cats.  Oh dear.)

And now, full of good food and good conversation, and Plans for tomorrow, I am going to pass out....

Everyone ready for Monday?
