Toxic Fumes

Today was a scorcher. It hit 86 here on the coast and 103 just eight miles inland, my destination for today's Avon sales meeting. I have so much to say about this event, but I have a terrible headache from the heat and the combined perfume of thirty Avon Ladies.

a big, fat zit

The monthly district sales meeting ended a couple of hours ago, but I'm still digesting the experience. I'll have a lot to say tonight.

In other news, I woke up with a big ugly zit over my right eye brow. It's a whopper, the size of Montana, and all the Avon concealer in the known universe can't hide this puppy. I used the tawny brown eye Glimmerstick to "enhance" the hair line and hopefully cover the zit. Now I look like Groucho Marx with lipgloss.

It's almost time to pick up the kids from school, so I'm going to take a few moments and whip up some marinated tomatoes:

Birdie's Grandma's Marinated Tomatoes

  • 1 perfectly ripe tomato per person (and I can stil hear her say this line in the recipe, which she would recite as we made it together.)
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • A big dab of Dijon mustard
  • A smashed clove of garlic
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Olive Oil, but only the Good Stuff
  • 1 stem of fresh basil

Cut the tomatoes into six wedges each. Mix the vinegar and mustard and garlic and salt and pepper and olive oil in a big wooden bowl.

Add the tomato wedges and gently toss. Add the basil, chopped, and more fresh pepper at the end.

Marinate for 4 hours or until you can't stand the wait any longer!
