I've had two tomato plants growing on my deck.  They made a whole whack of really ugly, split tomatoes.  I did the only thing I could - made tomato sauce.

What about salsa?

You're right.  I could have made home-made salsa as well.

Happy? <_<

No, because you didn't make it. :angry:

I nearly set fire to the neighborhood this evening.

I was doing some tri tip and corn on the cob in the grill. I finished the corn and took it off, brought it in the house. In the amount of time it took to get the corn inside and get back out there my tri tip had basically exploded in flames. I mean my charcoal disintegrated, my grill brush caught fire and I couldn't put it out without turning on the hose. I sprayed down the trees behind the grill just to be safe. The air here is already full of smoke from the fires over the hill, tbh. My contribution might have been noticed otherwise.

Beef tallow can apparently create a massive amount of heat in very little time. The flames were about five feet high. I was able to salvage it but I'm very good at this and even I can get caught out by random acts of immolation.


Edit: This was the first time in a while I used the normal grill instead of the Akorn, which is much easier to control. I may be getting spoiled. At least all the spiders are certainly dead.

I had Wawa hoagie for lunch! Only good part about being forced to visit southern Jersey today.

Dude, should have said you were in the neighborhood.  Whereabouts?  Princeton?

Anyway, pita chips and hummus.
Experience bij!

Yeah Princeton. I came down for a meeting and then left immediately afterwards for a meeting in New York. Tiring day. :D

I don't think of Princeton as being in South Jersey. :sleep:

I use Wawas as demarcation line.

We went to a nice place tonight for our anniversary.

I had five courses prix fixe : first was a jumbo scallop in a grapefruit beurre blanc, second was a rocket, pickled onion, and goat cheese salad, third was a filet of coho salmon over asparagus and a pancetta risotto, fourth was a 4 oz filet mignon, fingerling potatoes, and roast broccoli with a caramelized foie gras sauce, and fifth was some kind of chocolate tart with mixed berries and a scoop of banana ice cream.  Had a glass of malbec to drink with dinner and coffee for dessert.  Really good meal.

Princesca ordered a la carte and her main course was roasted quail with morels, which she did NOT like. :(  Neither one of us had ever had morels before and she gave me one to taste.  It was... odd.  I don't really know how to describe the flavor other than it was oddly sweet, which I'm not sure if that was natural to the morel or had something to do with how it was prepared. :hmm:

Went to Waffle House for the first time ever today.

It was pretty good.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
