Spring Cleaning and more Hatdog fun
Kat and I spent the weekend working in the yard (and doing 2013 taxes). We have a one acre lot, mostly overgrown with brush. We continue to clear and our efforts are rewarded with what appears to be a large yard (it's mostly weeds). In the future, we'll ask one of my Landscape Architect friends for some professional help.
Kat sent notice to get the European cheese set out for Happy Hour! She came home early (early for her is any time before 7PM)
#1 son played piano for the Friday school assembly moment of silence (video at end of this post)
#2 son hams it up with friends.
I came across this bowl of sea salt and crushed pequin peppers I'd stashed in the pantry on 7-23-2013. I made a note to let it ferment at least 6 months. The time has come to unveil!
These peppers grow wild all over our lot. They are tiny, but pack a BIG kick.
I added the fermented pequin peppers to vinegar. We'll have spicy (SPCIY PICANTE!) Pequin sauce by the end of this week.
#2 son has agreed that he is finally large enough, and old enough to start learning music. He certainly has his pose and facial expressions ready.
Prime rib night (and happy hour) Sunday at Abuelo's, one of the most satisfying and cheapest eats in the area. After spending all day working in the yard, we cleaned up and treated ourselves. Kat looked great in her Skinny Puppy leggings.
She asked the daughter to take a pic with me.
#1 son looked so dignified, deep in thought, under his hatdog. I explained that it's normally impolite to wear a hat inside a restaurant, but since his headwear IS food themed, we'd include it in our ceremony.
OTHER NEWS:
I've been trying to clean out the garage. The original intent was that I'd have a work space in there. Instead, we've allowed it to fill up with things that skirt the fine line between value and junk.
I'm building storage shelves for all the other stuff (totes mostly).
I often have "photo-booth" pics laying around. Often left in jacket pockets etc. I scanned a couple leftover from SXSW. I think I'm finally caught up on sleep from SXSW 2014.
