I've been a huge raging bitch the last few days and my diet has consisted of mainly chocolate. hmmmmmm, wonder why. I felt like junk today, but the good part is that I was able to take a nap. Yes, that's right, I took a nap. Me! I woke up at 4:30 this morning, too, so I really needed one. Trust me when I say that everyone benefited from my nap. I also had part of one of those chocolate bars from Austria. Dunkle Voll-Nuss. Otherwise known as Dark chocolate with whole nuts. Hazelnuts, to be exact. That got me un-angry at the world earlier in the day, which was needed. It was yummy.
Frenchy was down early this morning and she left us some salmon that a guest caught - it was reeeeally good. Freshest salmon I've ever had. We used some of the herbs that Lorrahn sent up and made it on the grill. I also made some mushroom risotto, which was also good. I've introduced the guys into the world of risotto. Man, I love risotto. I made them lemon risotto last week. Before giving it to them I asked if they had ever had risotto before - they both just looked at me funny because they hadn't. Only reason I asked is that if someone hasn't had it before they may look at it as weird rice or something. Because it's creamy and slightly al dente it may seem like I messed up cooking the rice. . . when, in actuality, I worked hard for that rice! Rice doesn't stir itself! Before bringing it over I gave them a quick description. I told them: "It's italian. a medium grain rice which you stir constantly to bring out the starch so it's rich and creamy. Then you finish with butter and parmesean for extra goo. . . "
I'm sure they really care. . . most people in the world just want to know if the food is good, they don't give a damn what it's called or how you cook it. I don't blame those people at all, either. I just happen to be on the complete opposite end of the scale, though. I LOVE good food and I want to know everything about it.
This evening I went out and got cake batter ice cream with walnuts mixed in from Coldstone. Delicious. For a day that started out horribly, it ended well. Good food, good ice cream. I'll take that. Good chocolate, too. I'll always take that.

A raging bitch, huh? Glad you felt better by the end of the day! Hope today has been good too... I'm on my last day of full time kids for almost two solid weeks. I'm about ready to jump off a bridge! Never been happier to have a work day in front of me.
Feeling much better, thank you. woke up feeling a little pooey, but I took it easy for most of the day.
Not gonna get a third outta ya, are we?
Chocolate is gooood! You must supplement it with food, though.
2 Kids are plenty!
I have always wanted to go on an Alaskan glacier cruise--jealous!!!
Someone needs to invent chocolate that has full nutritional value (and still tastes good) so I can eat it all the time.
Erica is the only potential baby maker we've got, so I'm thinking I'm not going to see another baby for a while. . . Erica's poor children aren't going to have any cousins for a looooong time, I'm afraid! I love kids, but I'm pretty sure I'm not so ready for that step. Plus, word has it it takes two people to make that magic trick work.
oh, I make myself laugh. So lame, so very lame I am!
Two is good for now. Maybe, big maybe, once they are in real school I can think about another. Bry says were done... So, that means we will see! And you are right! No cousins in the near future for T&L on either side...
