Mel’s Diner

Sharp Knives, Raw Meat and Fire

A DRY WELL

This has been a very odd week.  The weekend was a lot busier than I expected – we went to my (our) friend Mary’s Birthday party in mid-New Hampshire and stayed overnight at a Holiday Inn nearby.  For that, I made the now famous Tomato-Cucumber Salad with Cumin Salt and Fire and Ice Salsa, both readily available at Mel’s Diner.

Coming home late the weekend, we flipped and flopped, spit and sputtered until Wednesday when the kids went to their Grandmother’s house.  We went out to eat Thursday night (one disappointing place to a good place) and then picked them up tonight.  Katie’s off to a birthday party, it’s over 90 degrees and we had hot dogs for dinner. 

So, what’s worth posting?  I’m watching Guys and Dolls and heard one of my favorite lines:

“Why a guy without a doll….who would holler at him?  A doll is a necessity.”

I do have plans to cook this weekend, maybe some Tapenade Bread or some Ice Cream.  So, let’s hope.
