The vegetarian in me!

Wednesday and this is starting to become a morning routine here: get up, close the windows!

I stopped at Home Depot (ironically, on the way home) to pick up a drill bit. When I turned on my street I got a wonderful surprise. Finally, after construction the whole first part of the summer, they had graded the road. You wouldn't have believed the craters I had in front of the house. So, I "glided," instead of "bounced" up to my mail box.

I was a little late on the cat treats and they let me know it. But, after finding some more wild catnip on my yard patrol and giving it to them on the kitchen floor, I was back in their good graces.

Then I made dinner. I cut the top and bottom off that summer squash and ran it through the mandoline, set for 1/4 inch slices. I added some olive oil and a whole lot of butter and fried them in my biggest pan (see Photos). When they were nice and brown and soft, I pulled them off and plated them. To offset the sweet, buttery taste of the squash, I cut thick slices out of two of the plum tomatoes. I seasoned the squash with just salt and the tomatoes with salt and pepper. Then, I dug in. Now, that reminds me of summer back on the farm! And, I grew the whole dinner in my back yard!!

I watched TV for a bit, but then switched to a new magazine that came today. I read for a while, and then just went to sleep.
