{tangible love}

{late lunch}

{rescued succulents}

Weekend notes:

I did get my taxes done, but I bailed on wedding planning. We need to figure out the floor plan and we keep getting stuck on table layouts (and round vs. rectangular). And we're not allowing ourselves to move onto anything detail related until all the big stuff is settled. Humph.

The first oranges of the season are for eating, absolutely. The last oranges of the season, so ripe they only last a day or so out of the fridge, are for juicing. I normally don't bother with cute gestures (because I think they are mostly wasted on men - even very stylish architects with excellent taste in design) but I had been an exhausted and generally lame partner last week, and I knew D wanted to get around to juicing those oranges, so this was a thank you specifically for him.

Quiche makes an excellent weekend supper. I used my basic recipe, but this time used a whole bunch of swiss chard (sauteed and then finished with a splash of vermouth), brown button mushrooms, and green onions.

A local shopping center did a lovely job landscaping with foxtail agave but hasn't been keeping up with it and the planters are over run with pups. D couldn't handle the temptation anymore, so we rescued a few and brought them home so they could be appreciated.
