good

Good things from today:

the second cup of coffee worked its magic and powered my workout
a mown lawn
fed chickens
a watered garden
a sunny forecast for the Tears For Fears concert at Chateau st. Michelle on Friday
a lovely walk at twilight to get the mail, listening to all of the birds nattering about in the trees
discovering Joanna Newsom
Charlie home for dinner


my first attempt at Western sandwiches, a staple of childhood. Mom, I have finally grown up and am making them with onions. Thanks for all those times you made me "easterns" to avoid that dreaded vegetable!


A new wine glass, to replace the one that I broke a few weeks ago. My damn dodgy hands broke two of my favored glasses in a matter of days, leaving me bereft and having to drink out of ordinary vessels. I like to have my own special glasses even if they don't match the ones we have (and Gabriel, you and I definitely have that in common).

ooh- I want westerns! did you use 'squishy' white bread, or make it with something else? And did you make the holy pile of triangles?

I hear you on the wineglass- it's been bumble city here lately, with many things broken

Does anyone remember dipping onions in water to make them more palatable? I want Westerns too!...damn the carbs (and I will buy "junk break"); I know what I'm having for breakfast on Sunday! Thanks for the inspiration, Sarah! Costanza
