ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...turn and face the strange
i wish i knew more about %$#*&@# html coding! i am at the mercy of my webhost and their limited selection of templates. whenver i see a site design i like, i realize that in order to get there, i would have to learn to write html code. right now, i don't feel like i have the time to delve into all that for a blog as casual as this. consequently, any changes you see here may look odd and will almost certainly not be permanent. and i can't seem to get the comments capability the way i want it!
anyway, it was a great 4th of july! i got up late and made a big bowl of fatoush (a lebanese vegetable salad with toasted pita) to take to one of the barbecues we were invited to. then i checked the news on the web and found that today's "evildoers du jour" were lebanese. OOOPS! so i decided to vaguely describe it as a middle eastern salad and leave it at that. in any event, people seemed to like it. the other food was classic american picnic fare...bbq chicken on the grill, kielbasa, baked beans, red/white/blue jello, fruit salad in a carved out watermelon, chocolate chip cookies, brownies and apple pie. we finally ate around 6pm and then tony and i had to dash off to our second party. when we arrived there they were just setting up the buffet for that dinner. we had to eat again about an hour after the first time...yikes! the food here was similar, with burgers and kielbasa on the grill, baked beans, potato salad and some other more interesting sides including a delicious asian slaw. for dessert they had lemon poundcake with yogurt and fresh berries--YUM! i was so full by the end of this that we just went home and crashed. i had to work at 5am on monday anyway, so we missed the fireworks. if you missed them, too, you can make your own here.
