On to better subjects...
New dish for dinner tonight, Chicken Thighs with Creole Mustard-Orange Sauce. I liked it, hubby at least didn't hate it. It'd be nice to find more ways to use chicken thighs, given food prices today. I had mine over some polenta and I at least made mashed potatoes for the hubby. I'm looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow or Thursday.
Not sure how busy tomorrow is going to be... it's the start of my co-worker's 10 day Japan holiday, so I'm holding down the fort on my own.
The Garden Tour!!
Wooo.... TWO tomatoes. And since I took that picture, my grape tomato plant has gone nuts and there are at least a dozen. In hopes of not having some of the bug problems I had last year, I sprayed them with dipple dust today. Fingers crossed.
The rest of the 'maters. I swear, they all grew a foot with the recent rains. The Wall-O-Waters are still up, I plan to leave them up all season. Hopefully they'll work as advertised and help keep them cool once the weather turns hot so the soil won't fry/dry out as quickly. We'll see. I do like 'em so far.
Herbs. The parsley and chervil/lovage pot. I've been using the chervil pretty much like parsley.
Blurry basil. It's doing much better than a few weeks ago.
Somewhat happier in new location chives. They're at least happier than last week.
The rest of the herbs (and my lilac bush peeking out from off the desk). Other than the already dead tarragon plant, all doing happy. In fact, I harvested some mint and chocolate mint last night to make the mint oil from the French Laundry cookbook. I have no idea what I'm going to actually use it for, but it's there if I can think of a use for it. But I had to cut back that chocolate mint a bit. Just look at it!!
Purple ruffle basil. So pretty.
Still waiting for flowering action from my day lilies out front and in back. My Lamium out front is going absolutely crazy... way more flowers than last year. And I think (fingers crossed) my ornmental grasses have all taken and are growing.

Oh Crap, I hate the blue screen of death. Yesterday, I got worse, on
Mr. H's computer. I got the black screen of death and a cryptic message about some corrupt file :
Windows root\sytem32\hal.dll
so Windows could not start.
So the message helpfully told me to load the disk with this file on it, but WINDOWS can't LOAD, so I CANT PUT THIS FILE BACK ON. Had to call Heidi, my Go-to-Geek. She told me it sounded like my hard drive was getting ready to crash. Came and took Mr. H's puter away to try and fix it. Keep fingers crossed.
