It's a lovely day today, so whatever you have to do...you have a lovely day to do it in, it's true...
La la la.
Good weather always makes me happy. I stepped outside and it's already approaching hot which I love. Makes the veggies grow and the flowers grow and my mood glow.
Last night I had two yummy soft shell crabs. They were delicious! Soft shell crabs are not available all year round, so it's a treat when they are in season. They remind me of my mother who adored them. We'd always make a lunch date for crabs when we knew they were available.
So when I eat crabs, I always think of my dear, departed mother and how I wish I could give her a bite.
Friday I had a luscious lobster tail, grilled to perfection. It was a good food weekend for me.
Some people claim to have a personal relationship with god, but I have one with food. Food is more than just a stomach filler, it's a joy. Even a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, when that is what I want, can elevate me to higher spiritual levels of wisdom and understanding. Especially if you stuff the PB and J with potato chips for crunch and extra salt.

In my morning paper, a writer said that Bush and all his religious right wingers should sign a statement swearing that they nor any of their loved ones will ever use any medicine or treatment for any disease that has been cured or helped by stem cell research. I think that's a great idea. Put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.
But we all know, they would be the first ones to benefit from the research because most of the rules and laws they support and institute are for us lowly folk, and not for themselves.
---------------------------
A catbird has a nest on the side of my house, where I do not know. But everytime I go on that side, a bird swoops down at me squawking and squealing and flitting and even chasing me away.
My blueberries are beginning to ripen, as are the black raspberries, and this catbird is going to make harvesting them a bit more difficult this year. I wish I could explain to her, must be a her, that I am a friend, only there to pick berries and not to disturb her nest.
A completely boring blog entry as usual!

mmmmm - lobster.
I LOVE lobster and we always get some from MA when we go up to MV. one time my hubby brought me home a 3 pounder... it was impressive. :)
Never had soft shell crab - the concept kind of weirds me out, but then again, i probably don't know enough about it. :)
Glad you enjoy!!! I can't disagree with you about the close personal relationship with food... :)
Oh a 3 pounder must be a sight to see! Soft shell crabs are not so much to look at, but very crispy on the outside and sweet, wonderful crab on the inside...try one with your eyes closed hahahah
well see - the thing I hate about crabs is cleaning out all the gooky stuff - and with soft shells... that doesn't get cleaned out i don't think... (does it?) :)
and yeah - when we put the 3lb er on the floor - with the dogs - that was amusing.
Biggest one I ever saw though was IN Aruba, 5lb Rock lobster - they had to bring over a second table so the customer would have room to eat it. :)
