Yeah, cookin! and bikin! and rockin' out!


This weekend I had my bicycle (bicicleta in spanish) repaired by the aforementioned Chaz (pictured rocking out on my new pogo stick) because there are these thorns everywhere called goatheads that stick in your tires, shoes, dogs feet, etc. and ruin everything. They are tough like steel and they suck. Anyway, I was so excited that I rode my bike to work Monday morning (it is 7 miles away!) and it was very refreshing and then I had to ride it home which was also refreshing.
Also I purchased a cooking book at the goodwill a while back and then I went through it on Monday and picked out the recipes I wanted to eat during the coming week and went grocery shopping with my new food stamps and got all of the ingredients. I ghetto rigged a broiler using a small cast iron frying pan and broiled up some of these veggies that I had marinated in vinegar and oil and herbs and it was really good! I even ate the onions and green peppers, which I had only really put in there to follow the recipe because I didn't think I was going to like them. AND then I put an egg in the bowl and got all those delicious herbs mixed up in it and scrambled it and made a delicious breakfast. I am a good cooker!
In somewhat related news, I purchased some dog shoes for Judy at the unbelievable price of $30 (unbelievably expensive that is. she's a dog for pete's sake) and she hates them and walks like...a cat in snow or something, really funny but also I have no intention of letting 30$ go down the drain so she's just going to have to get used to them. This is so that I can walk her around my trailer without having to stop every 30 feet and pull out a million goat heads from her poor little feets. And also for the winter.
