I was on a plane this morning, and had in interesting time. As we were waiting for takeoff, the attendant announced that there was someone on board with a severe peanut allergy, so we should all refrain from eating any peanut products. I had two problems with that:
1. You have a peanut allergy and you’re on an airplane?? Don’t you know what they serve as snacks? That’s like going into a bar when exposure to vodka causes you severe anaphylactic shock.
2. I only packed one thing to eat for my 5 hour trip: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
After watching sharks on Animal Planet, I was thinking about what would be the best last words to have before you die, as opposed to the worst last words. Here are ten potential last words I have prioritized in my personal favorite to least favorite order.
1. I love you…
2. Wow, that was the best sex I have ev…
3. Freeeeedooommmm…
4. This wine smells of almonds…
5. Hmm, I can’t find my parachute cord…
6. I’ll just eat this peanut butter and banana sandwich on the toilet…
7. I’m sure I can cook up some blowfish on my own…
8. Sure, “creepy but apparently crippled man”, I’ll help you get that couch into your truck…
9. Look out, sharks!…
10. Look out, geese!…
Thanks to the power of Google Maps and their new “street view” I’m able to take a walk down memory lane to places I’ve lived and worked. Here’s a place I worked, with sub sandwiches so delicious I could never tire of them:
And here’s a sad discovery: a place where I lived in is no more. All that’s left is the parking lot. I had some great times there. Water balloon fights, swimming in the pool, an awesome pig roast, and lots of good friends. I know it was a roach infested dump, but I will miss it.
Speaking of salmon, does anyone have a good salmon recipe? I have tried broiling with seasoning, baking with honey, etc and I have never really liked the result. It’s a really healthy food and it is a local fresh source, so I’d really like to find a recipe I enjoy.
So if you have a delicious recipe, please post it in a comment or email it to me.
I snapped this shot this evening. Cats seem to be congregating all over my driveway. I think they are preparing some sort of offensive maneuver to reclaim this property. Or maybe it was because I was cooking salmon.
OK, maybe it’s not the life for me. But I did practice my green thumb this weekend. I planted 4 tomato plants, 4 watermelon plants, spaghetti squash, and a pumpkin plant. I’m also experimenting with growing blackberries from some I bought at the grocery store. We’ll see if that works. Around here, blackberries grow like weeds, so it would be great to have some in the back yard.
Also in my yard I’ve got 2 apple trees, a plum tree a pear tree (partridge not included).
