I had dinner tonight with my in-laws. We went to a really nice restaurant and had really really delicious food. And for the second time in a week, I stupidly ignored my instinct and ate something that clearly had eggs in it. Which is bad because I’m allergic to eggs and now I just want to diiiiiiiie. Tonight it was portobella mushroom fries (definitely dipped in egg batter), earlier this week is was a thai salad that had egg in the salad dressing. I know better, and I’m now suffering for not being vigilant.

There’s nothing more irritating that being responsible for your own 12 hour stomach ache. Especially twice in a week.

Also, if the fact that there is routinely eggs (often under or not at all cooked) in salad dressing doesn’t disturb you, then I’m not sure we can be friends.

My husband and I have been watching episodes of The West Wing this summer since we’re caught up on (some) tv. I had almost forgotten how much I love that show. No one writes intelligent zingers like Aaron Sorkin.

I picked up my sister’s dog at the doggy daycare center yesterday because she couldn’t get him in time. We opened the passenger door of the car and he jumped right in and sat down…in Slappy’s seat. And wouldn’t get up. So I got in the driver’s seat and before I knew it, Max was sitting on my lap instead.

And he wouldn’t leave. He was like, no, this is better. I’ll just sit on Katie’s lap. And so he did. The whole way home. And then he sat out on the patio while the cats tried to attack him through the screen until my sister came. It was a loud evening, to say the least.

The fact that I have a bag of cupcakes from the restaurant tonight that I don’t even want to eat right now is depressing the hell out of me.

We found out that there’s a farmer’s market in our area on Sunday mornings and so we went to check it out today. And holy awesome produce, batman. And though I was hesitant, my husband convinced me to try a kumquat and uh, now they’re pretty much all I want to eat. I had no idea what I’ve been missing all these years.

I bought more pretzel m&ms today.

We’ve been growing herbs and a few other plants on our patio for like a month and last weekend we got saw our very first serrano pepper. It was super tiny first and it’s probably quadrupled in size in the last week. We’re going to make something this week (when I say we, I obviously mean me) to use our little pepper that could. Assuming the bugs don’t eat it first. I’ll probably make either chicken or fish with a mango or pineapple salsa, but I’m seriously open to suggestions.

I have really cool and exciting news for you all tomorrow. I’ve been sitting on this for a few days, you can handle one night, right?
