6509 I'm still full from last night, and there's leftovers in the fridge!

Stressful week at the ranch so far, but nothing insurmountable. The crazy-chicken mindset is highly contagious, until you recognize what it is, and then stomp it flat.

I've got mixed feelings about visiting bro on Saturday, but I am please to say that he sounds a lot clearer and solidly thinking. not only is he without xanax or booze, but he is also cigarette free, soda free, and sodium free, considering the food.

Other benefits of being in jail... he gets a TB test, AIDS test, and his tooth looked at. He told me that he read through a 200 page book yesterday, and he's reading whatever comes by on the library cart. I wonder if jail is the best thing that could've happened to him. apparently I can't bring him clothes, but he can buy a sweatshirt, socks and such through the commissary.

I'm terribly lazy when it comes to eggplant parm. maybe it's me, or maybe it's the eggplant, but I just like having it made for me by someone else. Mine turns out not quite as good as some of the really great parms I've had. Maybe it's time to try again, though... be a lovely Saturday night dindin.

I ususally use rennet-free cheese, and that's pretty good stuff. if you're a connouseur, you might not be crazy about it... I'd advise having a cheese fest, and trying a little bit of everything!

Yum. now I'm really hungry.

I know, I could go on and on about food (unfortunately) but all it does is make me crave things : )

Cheese and Wine Fest!!! A grand idea!

When I get back I'm going to search for a recipe.

man... if I could market a vending machine with juice-boxes full of wine or beer, and little blocks of cheese... and maybe fresh cold grapes?


I'd be a happy camper!

looks like my pretzels will have to do.

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

Yes! Why do the machines have to have the same ole ucky stuff all the time? I could really go for some red wine, farmer cheese and french bread right about now. Some salty olives and hummus with pita, too. THAT'S the stuff I want in the vending macine. Only they'd have to make it fresh, daily.

I like pretzels...and beer ; )

mmm.. fresh bread and hummus with olives!

Newt and I would love 'em!

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

Newt likes olives and hummus?!

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Newt *loves* olive juice. he'll sniff the spoon that I use to retrieve them and lick it clean if I let him... the salt I suspect.

he's drawn to curry-scents too.
