My Weekend in a Nutshell

Friday: Worked til 5:30, picked up Adam, biked home, worked until 11:30pm. Then played Wii Sports until after midnight. Hurt shoulder (pathetic, I know) playing Tennis, Baseball and Bowling.

Saturday: Planned on sleeping in, taking it easy and doing more work. Maybe improving Wii baseball and tennis games.

Saturday, actual:
Up at 8:00 a.m. Cleaned dining room and part of kitchen, cleaned living room.
Did more work.
Drove in Amy’s van (thank you, Amy!) to Chicago with Adam, his best friend from daycare, friend’s older brother, and their mother to the Allstate Arena in Rosemont to see The Wiggles!

Car ride down: minimal drama, going pretty well. Thinking that this will be pretty easy.

Fresh Garden Produce

Last night I had a craving. I wanted nachos. I had red onions, cheese and tortilla chips. I needed more. I braved the ferocious man-eating mosquitoes and headed to my garden where I plucked 2 red, ripe, delicious Roma tomatoes and a fresh jalapeño.
I chopped up the veggies and scattered them on a bed of chips, covered with freshly shredded cheese. Pop in microwave for 1 minute et voila! Tasty nachos.
The tomatoes were sweet and delicious, the jalapeño hot, but not too hot.

Tonight I thought my dinner was missing something. So, once again, I braved the mosquitoes and plucked 2 more red, ripe tomatoes from the garden.
I chopped the roma up in slices, drizzled olive oil over them and lightly peppered them.
