Just another day in Paradise...

Work was long and somewhat annoying. I'm trying to juggle too many things at once!

When I got home after work, I cleaned up the kitchen counters and sink, started a load of dishes and rubbed my wooden cutting board with half a lemon (supposed to kill garlic or onion odors.) Then I started prepping vegetables. I made that radish salad again (I've been jonesing about radishes for some reason). If you're interested, the recipe is in, well, the "Recipe" section of my Blog.

It was a lot of knife work (for a change) and felt good.

Then I hit the cutting board with the other half of lemon and prepped a Honey Dew melon and a cantaloupe (another addiction this summer). I put the chunks into my biggest container and into the fridge to chill (for snacks and/or dessert).

I went out and watered the container gardens. Next, I planted another rows of sugar snap peas (on the other side of that little trellis I made from chicken wire - I thought of that at work today, but should have done it yesterday). I watered that to help them sprout and went back inside.

Next, I cut up three tomatoes into thick slices, drizzled them with olive oil and hit them with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. But, this time I also topped them with crumbled up feta goat cheese Lu gave me over the Christmas holiday (it was frozen when she brought it, so I thawed it out last night). We'll see how that tastes. I took the radish salad out of the fridge (its supposed to be room temperature when you eat it.

I finished up everything by 7:30 PM and took the rest of the night off. I started watching TV and ate the tomatoes first.

They were great!

I did get hungry about 10:00 PM and had a small bowl of the radish salad as a snack. That too was mighty tasty. I went to bed at 11:30PM.
