averygoodun42I'm feeling just a little off, which, added to the heat of the day, makes for very little ambition. Or gumption. Or, you know, me doing anything. Even though there's a heck of a lot to do. *thinks* *shrugs* I'm too bored to care at the moment.
However, I did enjoy some fresh-off-the-vine sugar snap peas a bit ago. And the CSA produced a pint of peas which were absolutely delicious in their uncooked state. I have yet to wash and deal with all the veggies we got, but I will say that fried scapes are yuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmy! Not that scapes aren't yummy in general, mind. I got extra scapes this week so as to try scape pesto. Question is, what nut would be best? (Probably pine, but I'm not going there, as they're rather cher.)
(Scapes, for those of you who don't visit farmer's markets, are the curly tops of garlic. They need to be removed so that the bulb will grow. Clever, sneaky things, they are, too. But yummy enough that it's worth outwitting them.)
So Geoff and I de-scaped the entire lower field (2.5 rows) of garlic while we were at the farm. It was so yummy smelling! We were ravenous by the time we got home. Well, Geoff was ravenous and I was wilty. It was hot, tiring work. (A farmer I shall never be!)
Hum. While this gardening thing is great for my mood and most of my body, it hasn't been all that great for my fingers. I think several nail beds of my left hand are bordering on being infected. (And yes, I do clean my hands thoroughly after gardening, and no I will not wear gloves - they're uncomfortable and hot and take the pleasure out of gardening for me.) I s'pose I should put neosporin on them or something.
I think the spider solitaire program has run out of winnable games in the two suit level. I swear I've played some of these before. I probably shouldn't admit that, seeing as that shows just how many games I've played (though over the last couple of years. Not just this week. Honest). Too bad my mind's too murky to switch up to four suits just yet. Ah well, there's still Mahjong.
Finally broke down and played Plants vs. Zombies. There's some truly disturbing aspects to that game, but I will admit it's a lot of fun. I'm thinking Geoff and I will go in halfers with Page, who is currently saving up to buy the full version.
*sigh* Time to turn on the a/c and get to work. Whether that be writing or everything else that needs to be done remains to be seen... Probably (hopefully? Nah, too hot to hope) both.
;-)
