So the cleaning lady who was supposed to come by today turned out to be deathly allergic to cats, and ended up not coming inside at all. I *did* mention it to the guy on the phone when I called, and he assured me that multiple cats wouldn't be a problem. Hah.

So instead I made gazpacho, which is more time-consuming than I remember it being, and while I forgot to get fresh dill and I somehow managed to not have any cayenne pepper on hand, it's still quite tasty. I replaced the dill with parsley and simply did without the cayenne.

I also got caught up on Skywatch, which I'd sorely neglected of late. Yay momentum!

I got a fair bit of cleaning stuff done, all in all. Laundry and dishes and sweeping and stuff. So, the morning was well-spent.

Had a lovely time with Arthur and [livejournal.com profile] curtana yesterday. I took Arthur to the park, and he showed me that to "play inna fountain" is a far superior passtime to actually playing with any of the playground equipment. That, and pushing dandelions through a chain link fence. Fun times. :) I'm amused because he pronounces dandelions "da-daddy-lions." It's super cute.

Now what I really want is a nap. I've been up since before 6am, and that makes for a very tired Phnee.

Oooh. Gazpacho. That's what I can make with this glut of tomatoes! Thanks.

And bruschetta. And tomato sauce. If you happen to have a good recipe. I tried one last year and it was ... not great.

Oh, yes. Please add me to the list of people looking for a good bruschetta recipe. I plan to turn my tomato surplus into tomato sauce on Thursday.

Ooh, surplus? Might I beg a few, if you're not using them all? :)

Sure thing! Please help yourself. The ones on the left (facing the ruelle) are "Fantastic", the ones on the right are either "Brandywine" (the big lumpy ones you might recognise from [livejournal.com profile] fearsclave's produce photo a few days ago), or... err... some other variety that I can't currently remember the name of (the smaller, rounder ones). Also feel free to help yourself to some basil (in the 'cage' next to the brussles sprouts) and/or parsley (hiding among the brussles sprouts); depending on what you're making.

Nice to read that you're growing brussel sprouts. So many people avoid 'em like the plague, which is a shame, because cooked properly they are amazing!

I made a bruschetta-like salad with chickpeas yesterday for dinner.
