Riot and Frolic

a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

– a haircut!  This wouldn't be such news if I was a normal person, or had shorter hair, or listened to any advice ever given about healthy hair.  But the last time I got a haircut, there was snow on the ground.  

Ew.  

I got 6 inches cut off and still have an unreal amount of hair (for me), so I decided that next year about this time, I'm going to go Locks of Love and get something awesome like this…

Carey Mulligan

yes

 

– I made snacks!  Proscuitto, basil, and fontina cheese on bruschetta, and some chicken sausage and apples.  Crap.  It was delicious.  

snacks

yum

– finished up processing all the tomatoes from the garden.  In an effort to find the best (read: easiest) way to make tomato sauce, I got out the Kitchenaid food strainer my ma-in-law gave me.  It attaches to my mixer and whirred contentedly while I threw tomato after tomato into it.  Easy peasy.  

I didn't really get how it worked at first, though.  I put a bowl under the spout to catch all the strained business, but hadn't thought about the… unstrained business.  Until I had this coming at me…

 

extruded

hey-o!

 

Gross.  There might have been some tomato "extrusion" on the floor.  And by "might", I mean, there definitely was.  

– got a great piece of advice.  "If you keep asking a question, you're asking the wrong question."  Example: every night before bed, you ask yourself "Why didn't I workout today?"  Like every night.  Maybe you should ask, "why didn't I get up earlier?" or "why did I watch 3 hours of tv?" or whatever.  Great advice.

– I made spinach-artichoke dip with the help of an anime star, V.

(Have you seen her lately?  Under the striped shirt, there's a huge hot pink tutu, leggings, and rainboots.  I'll post a picture sometime, but she dresses like a teenager from Tokyo.)

– I also brought back Saltine Cracker Toffee.  So guess who bought broccoli today?

It's been a pretty boring week around here, as you can see.  Please tell me about your week.  Did you vacuum?  Watch paint dry?  Go bungee-jumping?  Buy a monkey?
