Because it really is personal…

I’ve done next to nothing so far. I made a bowl of lemon cole slaw for the teacher’s lunch at #4’s school. I’m still a little stunned that they called and asked. I’ve only signed up for these lunches for 3 years now, and this is the first time someone has called and asked me to make something. The icing on the cake-my bowl of slaw was empty! Either they really liked it and ate it all, or it was righteously nasty and got dumped down the trash. I’m thinking they liked it, because I am going to be optimistic today.

Lemon Slaw:
1/2 head white cabbage, shredded fine
1/2 cup mayonnaise
zest and juice of 1 lemon
some salt and pepper
a spoonful (teapoonish) of sugar
Mix together everything except the cabbage until it’s nice and smooth. Taste it and adjust the salt and pepper. The lemon zest is important. If you don’t normally fool with lemon zest, this time you should. Toss the cabbage with the dressing, and there you are.How simple is that? I’ve made this the Moroccan way- with smashed garlic, and it’s good too, but the plain lemon variety is is really summery and good with chicken.

After I delivered the slaw, I mailed off some stuff, and went to Walmart for birdseed and a few things for supper tonight. Somehow a bag of those Pringles Selects garlic and parmesan chips wound up in the buggy, next to a bottle of gingerale, so I watched a movie (X-Men The Last Stand) and couch-potatoed. See Hank McCoy reminded me how much I like hairy intellectuals. If I were to have a crush on a fictional character, it would probably be him. AS it is, I’m married to a Hairy Intellectual who has A Temper, so I have my own comic book character right here in my very own house. He’s not blue, but nobody’s perfect.

#4 will be home in 20 minutes, and 2&3 in an hour, and the weekend begins. Time to relax, and maybe start on some supper- chicken tacos tonight- and wonder if SD will be home at 5 or 7 and will he have to work tomorrow or did they get the production run enough to be able to take tomorrow off.

I think I’ll make a bowl of guacamole for tonight as well. Tortilla chips beckon, SD has a bottle of Negro Modelo and I have a Corona.

Now to see if Amazon fixed my download issue.
