What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

Problems On The Way To The Market

4:28 PM: So I've already encountered problems.

I was doing laundry before I left and every pair of undies I brought with me and my bra were in the wash. So now I'm walking to the grocery store in a skirt and t-shirt and nothing else.

I'm so pathetic. I feel like Britney.

Oh yeah... I'm wearing a fanny pack, too. (I needed something to carry my stuff in!)

Sent from my BlackBerry wireless handheld.


UPDATE 5:44 PM: I made it back from the grocery store safely. I brought Bev with me so she could get a little exercise. Here she is in the cart at the Mayfair Market:


I have to hide her in grocery stores because dog's aren't allowed. That's why she's in her bag.

Okay, cooking now! Check back for pictures!

Currently listening to: Paris Combo


UPDATE 7:05 PM: Pudding's done!





I couldn't find normal salt so I used sea salt. Is that bad?

Moving on to the corn!

Still listening to: Paris Combo
Currently drinking: A martini


UPDATE 7:45 PM: Corn's ready to be cooked!



No canned corned here.

Moving on to the chicken rolls!

Still listening to: Paris Combo
Still currently drinking: A martini


UPDATE 8:30 PM: Everything's cooking and the salad is ready!




I didn't follow the salad recipe and ended up making my own. I added avocado, cherry tomatoes and green onions to the lettuce, and then used sea salt, fresh ground pepper, olive oil and couple different kinds of vinegar for the dressing.

Mark came home from work and turned the TV on so I'm not listening to Paris Combo anymore, but I'm still currently drinking a martini.


UPDATE 9:05 PM: We're eating, we're eating!

More pictures coming shortly.
