Catching up!


Bruise watch...
The bruise on my arm from my attempted blood donation is finally starting to look better. My elbow's not stiff anymore, so that's certainly good!

What a wide variety of colors a bruise can make! I only wish my camera could capture the shades and hues. Here's what it looks like today...



If you still have an appetite...
I'm a transplanted Cajun, so I had little exposure to (real) Tex-Mexican food before I moved to Houston. That's why I'm not sure what to call this dish. Quesodillas maybe? There is some cheese, but mostly it's veggies... It's flat so its not a taco... Hmmm, I donno what to call it but its good! I took a tortilla and some chopped-up, left-over BBQed chicken breast meat. Then I piled it high with sliced tomatoes, chopped onions, spinach, and some jalapeno peppers. Added a light dusting of shredded jack cheese. Comme ca..



Covered with a second tortilla and baked in the oven (~450F) until the tortilla edge was just a bit crispy. Turned out really good! Load up on the veggies, skimp on the cheese, and end up with a very tasty, filling yet low-cal, low-fat dish.



Why I love my neighborhood...
I managed to squeeze in a decent ride yesterday afternoon between the daily monsoon/rain. Needless to say, this was a road ride not a trail ride. My neighborhood has several "dog parks" where everyone brings their dogs to socialize. As I rode by, on one of the benches was a guy playing his flute. So I stopped, and listened. He was good! It was a purely random event of being out for a ride and running into a free concert in the park! I hung around and played with some of the neighborhood doggies, visited with folks, and just had a good relaxing time. This is typical of my neighborhood, and why I love it so...

Anyway, off I went, without remembering to take a picture of our floutist (?) for the blog. DOH! I guess this is why I'm not a news photographer... So sorry Josh, your picture didn't make the blog...
