aslantthere are only fifteen days left until our trip to texas. i cannot tell you how many times people have said to me, either joking or serious, "but it's a dry heat."
next tuesday i want to go the isabella stewart gardner museum, because they have a free outdoor cinema night of silent films with live piano accompaniment. k will be working there, his work is doing the lights & sound rigging for a month's worth of the gardner's centennial summer celebration. it will be nice to go and spy on him at work :)
we made salmon and artichokes last night, yum yum. i have been inventing sauces lately - i made up an olive oil + garlic + sardines + basil + dijon dipping sauce for the artichoke leaves, and then over the weekend i made up a raspberry syrupy thing, since we were out of maple syrup. it was quite yummy on our challah french toast.
my mother sent me a low, wide-mouthed pitcher/bowl from a pottery gallery in utah, where my parents went recently on vacation. it came by surprise in a big box last night and i was wracking my brain trying to remember if i had bought something on ebay recently....it is a beautiful blue color and came with a matching blue-handled whisk. it is a french design, and perfect for crepes and quiches and souffles and other things involving whisking things and pouring things. i am perhaps overly excited about this present. i am a fool for beautiful kitchen things.

Date: 2003-07-16 08:23 am (UTC)i'm very excited about the silent film night. when i was in florence, the year-long class i took at universita di firenze was on silent film. it was amazing, even if i struggled to keep up with the content of the lectures. three of my close friends there took it as well, and after the first day we were cursing that myth of italian university students never going to class etc - everyone in our classroom was taking notes rabidly, transcribing the prof's lecture almost verbatim. & i had nightmares for weeks about the oral exam at the end of the year. bah. but it was one of the most amazing classes i've ever taken. i'm excited to see some of the films i studied again.
