I went for a ride by myself this morning, after DH and I had breakfast in town. Beautiful sunny day, but only in the upper 40's now.
Now I'm working on my bike...pushed the seat back a 1/2 inch, and have been retaping & twining the bars and am now applying 3 coats of amber shellac on the cork tape. Eating some good French cheese between shellac coats drying...

LBTC- There are a ton of weeds in our yard to pull when you get done and have energy to spare!

Lisa- French cheese? You sound like DH, our store always has imported cheese samples and I have to drag him away.

Off to ride, the weather man was wrong and the predicated thunderstorms are nowhere in sight!

b'fast: leftover Phad Thai
lunch: mushroom and smoked salmon fritatta

Between those I ate some Clif blox on a 25 mile ride with MimiTabby and her DS's DGF. chatted with some peace-supporters, might stand along the road with a placard with 'em next Saturday. Already planned out what my two placards will say: "I love my Navy family" (got a lot of family in the Navy) and "Our vets need better medical care" (cuz they do!!!)

Got a call from Trek, she says the Cindy is fun and she had a flat tire. Now they're at a lunch stop.

Yep. Like BMO3, I'm a big fan of GOOD cheese (note: does not include anything called "cheese food")

DH likes good cheese too, but he doesn't like the stronger or stinkier types- but oooh I like them ALL! We made a special trip to a gourmet cheese shop owned by a real Frenchman last month- he imports special cheeses and you can of course taste them before buying. TOO WONDERFUL! Afterwards, we make our special cheeses last a while, eating little portions every day like treats...

Making a big ol' crock pot of vicchysoisse.

Now I want the CHEESE and wine to go with it!!!

Oooh, a nice stinky cheese to offset the onion and potato... a robust smooth red wine to go with the cheese (and to sip with dark chocolate for dessert)

Or maybe a delicate crumbly farmer's cheese with a dry white wine, and pears for dessert?

Or neither, since I have no $$ and don't get paid until Monday. Poo.

DH is an all cheese kind. Strong, stinky, whatever. I am not a cheese person. Except Queso.

Vicchysoisse was a spelling word of mine in 4th grade. My fabulous teacher liked to sneak words in like that, gosh she was amazing.

Knotted- Our new HEB Plus (grocery store) has an entire gluten free section. I thought of you when I saw it.

**KnottedYet** · 03-31-2007, 06:24 PM

Vicchysoisse is done. I vote for the crumbly dry farmer's cheese, white wine, and pears.

Maybe I'll freeze some, so I can have it later with the cheese, wine, and pears. After payday.

(AA: ooh, a whole gluten-free section! very cool! OffTheGrid, Wahine, and I will be over shortly!)

Gee, Knot, now you've met my whole family! I felt bad today because I couldn't just hang back with you. Three is a slightly tough number of riders because there's always one out. But maybe I made some brownie points with my son because I kept Megan occupied while he went car hunting (unsuccessfully again).

I had leftovers for lunch AND dinner. now off to do some house chores

Oh tomorrow, we're doing a south end ride, if any Seattle folks are interested.
