Cilantro

Momma Hall doesn't like cilantro...which means I kind of grew up cilantro-less. And it has really been within the last two years or so that I've really discovered how awesome cilantro is...on everything. Tonight I made a deeeelicious marinade for my bison steak. I'll tell you more:

Garlic
Cilantro
Worcestershire Sauce
Lemon & Lime juice
More cilantro

Paired it with some steamed summer squash cause, duh, it's summer and it's awesome.

I'm a full on cooker! :)

So good. Sooooo goooooooood.

Listening to: The Weepies, Hideaway-Little Bird. So good.

Side note: where's Courtney???????????? I'm lonely!

The One About the Pets

My apologies, friends. Blogging has been forgotten for so long. :( Frowny face. Fear not, though, this is going to be a super awesome blog. For serious.

So, on to my pets. Let us not waste any time!

Spaetzle:
After several months of being dead, Spaetzle has come back to life. I knew I had seen some D batteries somewhere in one of my classic "bags" in my room. I finally searched in the right box and found some Spaetzle "energy pills"! Wahoo. Anyway, he's now breathing & back to normal. Still quite stand-offish, but we're working on it.

Banjo & Kazooie:
I got crabs!! Banjo & Kazooie are the latest additions to my little family. You're probably thinking, wow, I didn't think anyone bought hermit crabs after they were in 6th grade, and for most people that's accurate. But please. It's me!! Anyway, in addition to one slightly lethargic pug, I have two hermit crabs, one of which has a social/anxiety disorder for certain.


Here is Banjo with Auntie Courtney:Here is Banjo running toward me:

Here is Kazooie the hermit:

Today (as I do most weekend days) I remembered that I live in the most awesome place on earth. Courtney and I spent our day at Cardiif-by-the-Sea which is a totally adorable and beautiful beachy town up in North County.


I mean, as I write this weblog entry, I am watching the sun slowly set on the Pacific Ocean from my bedroom. I'm sorry to rub it in, but it has to be said. I LOVE WHERE I LIVE. Dang.


Listening to: Coldplay, Viva la Vida. It's awesome.
