For Meriel...

I was missing Meriel, and thinking about Tres Margaritas, so last night I made pseudo-guacamole. Above, the ingredients ready to be chopped... (Look Mom, I bought a tomato, on purpose!)

The tomato, totally deslimed
(I cored it like a pepper).

The slime.

Limes and avos ready and waiting.

If you have a juicer, why not use it?
(Notice the spiffy Jeanne Marie–woven
kitchen towel just on the right.)After avocado removal... (with cilantro leavings...)

Ready to eat. Yummmmmm...

Fop Fingers

Today was Gilligan and Korra's going away party. Much fun and frivolity occurred:

Korra demonstrates her rapier technique.

Gilli models his new bling.

The fighters got in armor in the afternoon. The "gallery" sat under the trees and watched while sipping cold drinks. I was really enamored with how the fighters looked under the trees and through the leaves:

Luther and Gilli watch Murdoch


Murdoch, Hengest, and Luther; JM and Gilli


This one's for Duck :)
