mid-weekend miscellany

[pantryslut]

1. My jaw hurts. I have no idea what I did to it (and get your mind out of the gutter), and it's not on the side that usually hurts/grinds/pops. It feels like a muscle pull, to be honest (I said out of the gutter!).

2. I just had a quiet little supper on the porch: grilled lamb chops rubbed with zaatar, over arugula dressed with a little lemon juice. We had three of the first zucchini come in the box this week, so we threw those on the grill, too. Really, really delicious.

3. As black_pearl_10 reported, someone finally took that curve by our house a little too fast and a little too drunkenly at about 2 am last night, and plowed into G.'s car and the car parked in front of him. I was asleep in the back of the house at the time, and heard nothing. Acoustics are impressive.

4. imnotandrei may be allergic to the bottlebrush tree right in front of our house. Bummer.

5. More soon, including a proper update.

Zaatar?

Oooh, just Googled it. Sounds tasty.

I think my version is made up of thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds. It's definitely heavy on the sumac (or maybe the sumac is just really strong, I'm not sure).

When you're pregnant, things are released in the body to loosen and stretch ligaments. So yes, it's easier to pull things, in or out of the gutter. :)

Baseball question

I forgot to ask you from my home machine where I have your e-mail: are you the only member of your household coming out for the Cubs-Giants game this year?

I don't think so; I think Steven is coming too.

I didn't see a reply from him and your e-mail just listed you; I'll add him to the ticket list now.

What is arugula please? I would have asked about zaatar too, but someone beat me to it.

Arugula is a leafy green, also known as rocket. Tastes peppery (and sometimes a little bitter if you wilt it).

[pennski.livejournal.com]

Aha I know rocket!

Was very trendy in these parts a few years ago.

Quite tasty.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

I figured this might be an English/American issue :)
