man, what a fabu-wess weekend i had!! really, really fun...
saturday i did an unbelievable amount of running around, including a somewhat frantic trip to baltimore (4 hrs round trip). i picked up some snapping turtle hatchlings from another lab at the harbor, but also took some time to enjoy the nice city day...had some oysters and beer at a raw bar. i also did some shopping.... (!) anyone who read my last journal will understood why this next part is so cool and karmically korect: I GOT A NEW SNAKE!! yeah, i purchased a amelanistic corn snake hatchling....it's gorgeous! my last corn snake hatchling (a different variety) escaped in april. this one is NOT ever escaping. safety mechanisms have been put in place...
last night i had a grand time. i don't like to toot my own horn, but i made one of the most KICKASS meals i have made in awhile. i made roasted red potatoes with garlic, yellow peppers and red onions (cooked in foil on the grill), marinated crimini mushrooms grilled on kebabs, chipotle-marinated swordfish grilled on the bbq (i also made a sauce for the last two items made of yogurt, lime juice, wasabi, ginger and soy sauce) and salad with a thai vinagrette. it really really rocked. my favorite person in the whole world shared this meal with me, then we watched the beginning of the royal tennenbaums before deciding to watch it later and have another glass of merlot on the porch before crashing out...
and today, after a relaxing sunday morning, i went up to the maryland renassaince festival, which is awesome btw...and met fellow SG member slightpressureokay, the veritable dr. SPOK. it was fun! i got some cool artisan stuff, and also a henna tattoo on my sternum/chest/whathaveyou.. i really love the ren fest...i might run off to the faire some day soon!
jim, the rennies are so not creepy!! they rock!!
