Today wasn't a hungry day. For dinner I had a couple of steamed baby artichokes with some tasty sauce I made with mayo, creme fraiche, salt & pepper, and lemon juice...
... and a BLT! I can't remember the last time I had one. Jewish Rye bread (what can I say?) with romaine lettuce, fresh tomato, and Applegate Farms organic bacon. Applegate Farms is great, their smoked bacon is uncured and has no added nitrates. Their pigs are fed a vegetarian diet and aren't treated with antibiotics or growth hormones.
Here are some obligatory pictures of the Westies. You're not tired of them yet, are you?=)
Maggie being terrifying!
Malo being pathetic.
There was a very cold and miserable looking lizard on my porch. I almost wanted to bring it inside, but then I remembered that they are outside every night, and they seem to be doing fine. Poor Bill. Not that this lizard had anything to do with a chimney. I don't even have a chimney. Alice in Wonderland? Anyone?I did my grocery shopping today and got some great things. Be on the lookout for blogs involving shrimp, calamari, filet mignon, leeks, and other assorted fabulousness.
artichokes! that's what I forgot to check out at the store . . . the produce wasn't the nicest this week though. :-( Love artichokes. My mom and I used to make our own sauce for them with mayo and Newman's Own oil and vinegar.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the lizard would rather be outdoors than indoors with the pups. :-) We had one make his way indoors here and Gloria got ahold of him. Lucky for them, their tails grow back! Had to help the poor guy escape back outside!
