Couples cooking, in honor of Wendy Davis
Wendy got a kick out of me and my bf/now husband's great time jointly doing the food preparation, then applying the heat to said food. And an endless difference of opinion on spices and so forth. Near throwing things at each other. Near. Didn't occur. Man, keeling over with laughter.
Wendy might have been encouraged that Assange's doctor today said NO as to extradition. When I read that this morning, I immediately thought of Wendy. I wish I had clarified.
She always wanted to know if I was A or B.
I am A, and the goofball, or "goober tooth", is B.
This is how it went tonight. I wish Wendy was reading this. Rest in peace, bless her heart.
B (goober tooth) decided the green beans would be kicked up with bacon, after I asked him, A IMMEDIATELY knew that onion was also needed. A trimmed off the bean tips, trimmed off bacon fat, chopped onions, got it in the pan, got it cooking, told B to finish it, because front porch, breeze, cold beer, etc... Oh, B was squawking, A went to the porch to avoid B's bitching. See the contribution A made? 120%.
Now, B has accused A of "burning shit" for over 2 years. B put some chicken tenders in the oven while A rested, deservedly so.
Veggies, a team thought and effort, was perfect, for which A will take full credit. Now, that oven baked chicken...some of it was burned to shit. The rest was, I admit, a great compliment to A's fabulous veggies. B will admit, 120% of the meal is A's effort.
These are trying times. That we even have food to cook that we can afford or find is not a given down the road.
Wendy would rage at the Machine.
So should we all.
For Wendy. Glad I gave her something to laugh about back then.
Laugh in her honor, please.

Thank you for your remembrance of Wendy,
and for a new episode of kitchen kids. I used to think that the car was the most challenging place to be together ; ).
Well, you were wrong.
Remember, I am A, B is goober tooth.
Car crazy is once in a while. Kitchen is almost daily, until we go somewhere, do something, and have an absolute BLAST. And, when we go, we often find places with kitchenettes in rent condos with full kitchens and on, and on.
After the cooking fray, we have the road ...concern? issues?..."I want you to pull over and I will drive!" discussions?
I want you to know A has NEVER made a driving move that scared B (goober tooth) half to death.
Pinky swear.

Slow down B!
I can imagine you, A, pressing your feet against the floor to steady yourself.
Who has the better sense of direction?
Cooking adventures of A & B
...are fun. Thanks for the Wendy tribute too.
As to Julian, perhaps there is hope.

What a shame that we torture journalists who reveal US war crimes and then criticize others about persecuting journalists.

I am particularly
I believe Australia has finally moved toward Assange's side.
Maybe his life will be spared.

I have 9 cases on the docket today.
Dinner might be a B project. I just might be too worn out to make spice suggestions.
The judge is going to get sick of me.
(When we grill, we often prepare an extra so I can take it to the judge. Yes, I will suck up when needed.)

Wait...
...what happened to Wendy Davis?
If I was aware of this, I've clearly forgotten.
In the Land of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is declared mentally ill for describing colors.
Yes Virginia, there is a Global Banking Conspiracy!
Sorry to say, she stroked out about 2 - 3 months ago
she gave us ample warnings of her waxing health issues
Mr. WD gave us the news and was kind with his support here.
I've checked her site several times, but the last post is in FEB.
Some crook got ahold of her email list and I have gotten weird
offerings to join a replacement site. Don't believe it. It is another
scam.
question everything
Well,
After an all day docket, 9 cases, then follow up chats with the judge, emails to read, phone call with 3 clients, I am exhausted. 2 clients were hearing impaired. One key witness was hearing impaired. My throat is raw from screaming.
B decided on the meal, I got the ingredients ready, I am gonna go to la la land on the porch, watch birds on the feeder, and reflect on how I just might not have to do much in the kitchen.
B was standing in for my secretary, who is on vacation, and at 1 point, had to take an original document I told the judge would be in his hands in 5 minutes. B had to trot over, leap up the stairs to get the document to the judge, then trot back to the office to take care of the 6 people in the office, awaiting their turn at the computer for the zoom court. It was pushing 100, very high humidity.
I will give B lots of moral support. I will compliment the cute shoes.
Wendy is missed. Wish she could be here to keep the pressure up for the release of Julian.
