I've been eating in this week and trying to keep things light. Here's an example of how vegetarian doesn't need to be boring.
Fresh, sweet summer corn, a cheese quesadilla, and cheaters' salsa. I threw one slice of raw onion, the juice of half a lime, a pinch of salt, and about a cup of cherry tomatoes into the blender and gave it a few pulses. It's not as uniform as hand chopped salsa, and it doesn't have cilantro, and it's kind of weird that it's still frothy, but it really takes the plain quesadilla to the next level.
On the domestic front: I haven't killed our orchid yet! In fact, I took such good care of it that is's blooming a second spray of flowers in one growing season. I know, it doesn't sound like a big deal, but orchid fans will know that doesn't always happen.
And in today's news of the absurd: this is the message I got when I turned on my television today. "No broadcast now," eh? Then what's with the people and the building in the background?

good stuff w/ the orchid!
We have killed 2 orchids this year. How are you keeping yours healthy and alive?
I cannot take the credit. Someone gave J this orchid and my jaw dropped when because it was one of the most beautiful houseplants I'd ever seen. What it looks like now pales in comparison to when it was in full bloom.
I think if you really want an orchid that won't die, buy a very expensive, established plant from a reputable orchid dealer. For example, our plant has seven large healthy leaves and one tiny new one; most orchids in stores have three leaves. Those are the kinds of which I've killed plenty.
