looking forward to: hitting Taste of the Danforth tomorrow. I want grilled lamb AND grilled calimari
wanting: everything to be nice and mellow - and the little neighbour dog to stay relaxed during his visit here

wearing: my blue and white striped tee shirt from Siena (gold letters) that my brother in law brought back from his italy trip in the nineties. At the time I just had to burble thank you, thank you, when I could tell it would fit like a sausage casing. Today it's a little loose, even airy, which is a good thing. I have a collection of italian touristy tees, none of them bought in italy by me - since I travel sparely re expense - but by me from the Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc. I can now fit into the black Capri sweatshirt with the gold boating symbol (what is that thing they steer with, a helm? wheel of some sort). Capri, another place I've never been, but now I can say it correctly. Cah'-pri, Cah'- pri.

Oh, and the Siena tee is over a pair of flowery goodwill shorts; the whole dashing look is bottomed by my yellow faux crocs.

We got caught in the front end of a weather front. I ended up having to carry our guest dog from the car to the house - had to wade through some water to get to the porch. The rain came down faster than this city's old storm sewers can manage



mmhmmm yup
we decided to take the pack down to the beach right in the middle of that severe weather warning
mmmhmmmm yup

we made it back to the car just as it went boom crash boom rain (we could hear the rain hissing as we ran toward the car)

then the little guest dog did NOT want to get out of the car and run to the house as my little dogs had already done - s'ok, I'm a good host and carried him in through the rushing water

You are a good host. Pupo got lucky when they let him stay with y'all. - I really am going to take my nap now.

This may be a little late, but I really like thinnish sliced green tomatoes on homemade pizza with a nice mozzarella (fat, or fresh), all thinnish, with a splatz of good parmigiano or bad parmigiano. There'd have been some slivered garlic tossed about, with olive oil dribbles. I remember it as pale and bubbling....
