What I'm Reading This Week #16
Good Friday to you! Literally. I can't believe Easter is here. Anyone else having epic wind and rain storms over the past month? I mean good friggin' luck trying to enjoy any time out there and we're not afraid of weather. As I type, there are 40mph gusts. I went out to paint the critter cages on the planters and feel like I have hypothermia at 47 degrees when yesterday's weather forecast said it would be 74 today. Da fuq? Guess who finally took the bedroom Christmas tree down Wednesday? It was neutrally decorated so it was fine but it came on every night and gave a cozy glow. I knew one day I would look at it and know it needed to go to sleep until November 1st. That's the other thing, I will be decorating for everything extra early from now on. August 1st- Fall decor as I will thoroughly be over summer by then and given that's the day Mom passed, I'll need something to lift my spirits. November 1st it'll be ...
Happy Memorial Day!! I have a few things I really like on the grill. One is pork chops and I'll make fresh pico de gallo to put on top -- the coldness of that on the meat is so good. I like corn on the cob too. One of my favorite things to make (which reminds me I haven't done it in a long time) is a cheesy bread with an Italian loaf that you cut slices almost down to the end and insert a concoction of whipped butter, parsley, mozzarella and a few other ingredients in between each slice. Then wrap the whole thing in foil and heat on the grill for about 30 minutes. It is SO good. And it's surprisingly light and not greasy at all. I think because the heat kind of takes some of the moisture out of the bread it just gives it good texture.
