Jen's art

Our amazing friend Jen who just had a beautiful baby boy, is a very talented artist and we found this lovely collage piece on our bed after the birthday barbecue. It is entitled- The Hollowmen. We are excited to hang it up. Thank you so much Jen.

My friend Perry showed me this printed t-shirt design from Threadless.com. It is our cat!

Soapsicles

I should probably wait until I have kids for this sort of thing, but I couldn't resist.

Popsicle toes

I decided to do a dark, dark purple like Uma Thurman's fingernails in the movie Pulp Fiction. They have been fun and mischievous.

Starting to hugify

The garden has grown a lot in just a few weeks. The tomato plants are blossoming. I can't wait to eat them. I have been layering mulch to our heavy clay soil with grass clippings and fruit rinds to try and loosen it up . At starbucks, they have free large bags of coffee grounds for your garden. I sprinkled that everywhere.

This next week, Aaron is going to help me build a compost heap. I found this awesome little book dedicated to composting.

R.E.M's Gardening at Night has become my summer theme song. I have been doing a lot of gardening at night around 9 when I get home from work.

Tastes like chicken

So on a whim, I decided to cook dinner all by myself. I haven't really bothered cooking poultry because when you're married to a great cook, what is the point?

I am attempting cilantro chicken because I wanted to use the cilantro from the garden that I believe has mutated into a cilantro bush monster.

It is marinating in the fridge and it smells yummy. Aside from the cilantro, the marinade included lime juice, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil and honey.

Hopefully I won't burn it!
