threeplusfireWe wait, and we wait. No news yet. It's the worst part because I can't do anything over than stare at my gym bag and think about how many shirts to pack.
The Food Network makes me hungry. My ancestors, the Comanche, were some of the first people to make chili it seems. Interesting.
I'm reading Charles de Lint's Memory & Dream again for the first time in many years. The note in the front says I bought it in Febuary 1995. It's my favorite of all his works, and the one that spoke most powerfully to me. I've read a lot of what's termed "urban fantasy" over the years but I keep coming back to this one.
I suppose because I would like to write a book just like it. It's what I want to do with Anna.
Anyhow. I finished my chocolate strawberry pie, and I glazed the top with melted strawberry jam in abstract swirls. It looks pretty good. The chocolate came out with a smoky, coffee sort of flavor. I hope the shortbread crust is a good match.
I just answered the door and forgot I wasn't wearing a shirt. The mailman must think I'm crazy.

Date: 2004-08-21 12:37 pm (UTC)i spent the morning clearing boxes out of our new basement so that it's presentable should anyone ever come visit us. the i rewarded myself with an afternoon of "fluff" reading-- "cooking for mr. latte" -- by foodwriter amanda hesser. it's light, fun and filling me with urges- to cook, but mostly - to eat!!! unfortunately, moving finances are all a'shamble, so we will not be having any of it anytime soon (thankfully i can keep the book three weeks!)
this waiting has to be the worst. hopefully you and hubby and staying nice and distracted. it's lucky he has you.
