My name is Chris and I have a weird neighbor. He refuses to look at me, will turn away or look at the ground, when I go by. He never returns my wave and seems to get agitated whenever I do anything to improve the look of my humble abode. I just don't get it. My only response, of course, is to do everything I can just to piss him off. There, I've said it!
Yesterday, I spent the early morning in the garden, cut the grass, trimmed everything up, clipped the hedges and raked up all the clippings. Which of course drove him mad and forced him out to do some yard work of his own.
When it came time for dinner, I was hot and beat, so I chose to do a little hot weather spread. Knowing that dinner was going to be an issue, I had done hard boiled eggs earlier, along with a Thai cold noodle salad. So dinner, last night was a kind of cold buffet. Deb was underwhelmed, at first, but seemed to warm up to it as things went along.
Everybody likes deviled eggs, right?
Assorted crackers and a homemade lemon and garlic white bean hummus.
Cold cuts and cheese.That pinwheel thing is a prosciutto panino and the soft brie, I left out on the counter all day, are both favorites from Aldi.
Palm hearts, marinated artichoke hearts, homemade pickled tomatoes, homemade marinated asparagus and olives we brought back from Italy.
Cold Thai noodle salad.
