Just Rambling About

In addition to flowers, I also bought herbs and other plants at the Flower Mart this weekend. I've planted more rosemary, oregano, lavander, and rue. I alos bought some more succulents. My yard looks better than ever.
I have been enjoying using avocados and lemons from Oscar and Jerry's trees in my cooking. I can never grow sick of avocados. It is so good in almost everything I prepare.
For dinner the other night, Serene made the best briquet and two delicious salads. One salad had arugula, and red and golden beets. The other salad had fava beans, onions, garlic, and avocados. For dessert, Jerry prepared an incredibly rich and moist chocolate flan, using Chocolate Abuelita. My contribution, wine, didn't required any preparation. We all had a fun night, which we ended with a few rounds of French Poker.

Here's more evidence that Myspace is such a playground for the very young. Last week I found my two youngest sisters (from my dad's third marriage---Don't ask!) on Myspace. Ever is 25 years old and Barbara is 16. Needleless to say, I have now "added" them as friends. I have also "added" Yolanda Cruz's youngest siblings: Papio, 19, and Raquel, 22. All four are active members and very popular. I shouldn't complain about Myspace so much. I was telling Wendy the other day that when I am online I check Myspace first, before checking my e-mail!

Last week's playlist during all my housecleaning and yard work included C.D.s by:
Belle and Sebastian, Sandro, Miguel Bose, Madonna, Sufjan Stevens, Abba, The Rapture, Jacques Dutronc, and Goldfrapp among others...
