From the airport we went to her folks' place to retrieve her car, and also to harvest some pickings from the small veggie garden she keeps in their back yard. Got some tomatoes, some chives, a hot pepper of some kind---looks like a jalapeno to me, but not as hot (but it's probably not ripe yet.)
Back to the house, a late supper---some kind of fish Bordelaise, frozen, but quite delicious. A fancy TV dinner, basically, along with my patented roast potatoes. (Electric Patti will testify---they are the best in all the land.)
And this excellent tomato salad, everything but the dressing fresh from B's garden:
Then, a thunderstorm. Nice lightning, nice thunder, lots of rain. You'd think I'd never seen rain before. But the past few summers in Oklahoma have made people wonder if they're ever going to see rain again.
Dust Bowl II, anyone?
And we finished off a couple of bottles of the local white. Fuck it. It was a celebration.
