Agave Nectar

Ok. I must live in a cave or something because it wasn't until recently that I was turned on to Agave Nectar. Have you tried it? It's just like honey only yummier and without all the guilt.

Food Fight carries it as did my local healthfood store. Agave Nectar is extracted from the inner core of a cactus-like plant.

Go get some and make yourself a peanut butter and Agave sandwich and then dry your tears... because yes. It's so good it will make you cry.

what a day

Such a beautiful warm day yesterday...Someone couldn't WAIT to get outside and run around. Hardly needed a jacket it was so warm.
I love this town...
Nuttin much has been happening since I got back from Toronto. That's not true. I lie. I've been cleaning like a mo-fo. Cleaned and re-organized the Bio-Hazard room at the shop. I've been making many trips to the dump dropping off shop garbage (how sexy) and cleaned the bathroom and organized the book shelves. Wow... what a life I lead. *laugh*

As a treat Gerry got me a gift certificate for a pedicure, so I'm off to pretend I'm a "lady who lunches" and get my feet all done up nice.

my niece and nephew

My niece and nephew are so freaking cute!I like to think they take after me a little...

Rut

I'm in a total food rut. Gerry and I can't stop making stir-fries. EVERY NIGHT this week...

Anyone else get into food ruts?

Dog day

So last summer? Or was it last last summer? Crap... the years all melt together the older I get. ANYWAY... some summer some time ago The Crystal Pool was about to close for repairs. The day before they closed they had "Dog day" and Danica and I took Fergus and Emily for a swim date.

Fergus loves to swim and Emily does not. *laugh* You can see Emily (fatty fat pug) shivering with fear on the far right... please ignore the loud woman in the video praising my dog. I don't know who she is... but she sure is annoying.

A man so nice... I married him twice!

10 years ago today Gerry and I secretly hopped on a plane to Vegas and eloped.
5 years later during The Las Vegas Scooter Rally we hopped on our scooters and did the deed again at a drive-thru wedding chapel. What have I learned after 10 years of marriage?
That dreams really do come true.

Estrella Soap

Jesse from Estrella Soap read my Jan 15th post about the German Apple Peeler and sent me something similar. Actually... the peeling apples part is the only thing similar. This contraption is so old-school and not beautiful in any way. *laugh* But it sure is cool. According to the side of the box, it can pare only, core only, pare and core only, core and slice only or pare, core and slice. Phew!

I immediately hooked it up and tried to peel an apple.
I ended up wrecking the apple. I haven't quite figured out how to adjust the peeling-arm yet. Any tips?
While you're mulling over my sad mutilated apple... why not head over to Estrella Soap and get something to wash your hands with. :)
