Lacecap’s Weblog

I’m feeling uninspired and listless. Maybe it’s just learning to deal without any ‘help’. I’ve backed off of my psych. meds in the hopes that I’ll do better au naturale. We’ll see. I have no insight today. Just going thru the motions. Need to get back to waking up early (before the heat) and walking. Feel so good after I do it. Made tacos today. Ate alot of fruit. Didn’t shower. That’s a bad habit- not showering. I really want to spend money on the walkway to the birdfeeder. Need more rocks from VH. Also some Slate. Then we can plant the ajuga and ferns. Next it’s time to divide the liriope and transplant them along the sidewalk. Also, need to keep an eye out for more liriope and texas red lantana for the sunbed. All in time and on a budget….

I’ve forgotten how good garlic smells while it slowly cooks in olive oil. Cooking in general is something I used to enjoy but haven’t done in a long while. Today I decided to cook some Clam Linguine- a fast easy recipe that impresses everyone. It’s a dump actually…sautee chopped garllic (as much as you dare) in evoo, add 1 bunch fresh chopped parsley, add 2 cans (drained) chopped clams, 1 large can crushed tomatoes, 1 can tomato paste, 1 can whole baby clams with juice and 2t. capers. Simmer for at least 20 min. (or longer) and serve over linguine with fresh romano cheese. So good and easy. Tastes better the next day after flavors have glommed onto each other. A simple pleasure we deserve.
