TEA IS THE ANSWER

it's gray and super-rainy out today. and rather chilly. not too much so...it's nice, i think. or would think if my feet weren't sopping in my shoes, but it's not so bad. ^^ provided it doesn't stay like this for a month, cos that would just be irritating.

anyway, random stuff. some of which is admittedly a whole lot more to remind myself than it is for your entertainment. but you'll sort it out. ^.^

* the battery was in stock, and is now happily soldered in place and working beautifully. yay. ^^

* made grilled portabello sandwiches for dinner last night. which were too big for the (rather large) rolls that we bought for them, but still quite good nonetheless. marinated the portabellos for about an hour and a half first, then sliced up a small onion and half of one of the giant red bell peppers we had sitting around. also sliced up some monterey jack cheese to melt on top of the mushrooms. wish i could've taken pictures of each giant cap sitting on a bed of grilled onions in the frying pan, with cheese melting happily on top. they were too big for both to fit in the pan at the same time...indeed, each mushroom cap almost took up the whole pan. O.O;;

* wonder how difficult it would be to grow portabellos myself...? as well as other mushrooms. i know there are happy little mycelium colonization kits available, but that doesn't really tell me how difficult it is...?

* need to find straw. which seems easier than it is. want to cover strawberry before it's too late.

* need to start on comforter. is getting cold.

* fleece hats are good.

* have started the '98 Jetta brake boot. should be finished in time for us leaving tomorrow. yay. ^^

* need to bring basil inside before we leave. do not wish to come back to find it frozen and dead on my front porch.

* need to do something with the rest of those grape tomatoes before we leave, and probably the other half of the red bell pepper, too. otherwise they will go bad, and i will be sad. ;.;

* must do loads of laundry before we leave that involve my nice, warm socks.
