so good.

I’m also a sucker for weathered-redwood clad buildings. Ye Ole Tyme, etc.

And Stacey and I were just cruising the 120 strip in Oakdale talking about how I’d be happy for a Wendy’s ($.99 salad, $.99 potato, $.99 chipped cow). Nooooooo. Ferrarese’s to the resuce.

From: Mark Bittman (the Minimalist), I humbly present: Granola

Recipe: Crunchy Granola

Time: 40 minutes

6 cups rolled oats (not quick-cooking or instant)
2 cups mixed nuts and seeds: sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds or cashews.
1 cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut, optional
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste
Dash salt
½ to 1 cup honey or maple syrup, or to taste
1 cup raisins or chopped dried fruit, optional.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine oats, nuts and seeds, coconut, cinnamon, salt and sweetener. Place on a sheet pan and put in oven. Bake for 30 minutes or a little longer, stirring occasionally. Mixture should brown evenly; the browner it gets without burning, the crunchier the granola will be.

2. Remove pan from oven and add raisins or dried fruit. Cool on a rack, stirring once in a while until granola reaches room temperature. Transfer to a sealed container and store in refrigerator; it will keep indefinitely.

chucks!

Typing away, and I can hear Stacey’s wedding flats tapping on the wood floor above. Now I know why my downstairs neighbor (Sing) in Van didn’t like my “wooden shoes”. Also called clogs.

So I know that Stacey is trying on her dress, I’m not allowed in the upstairs back rooms right now. I just left a package of inner-silk liner by the door so that when I was back downstairs she could open the door and retrieve the package. The big secret!

I’ll see the dress when you do…

The obilgatory Before

and after

Tile choices abound, and I think I like the 1/2″ Bisazza-style because

• I’m a fashion whore
• they remind me of swimming, the small squares

I have an unnatural urge to make a green Swiss-flag-cross in the new tub seat that we hacked out of the old wall.

So needless to say, or maybe it is needed: wedding planning is hard to keep up with, when you’re showering like a bird, with a Pavel’s Russsian-style Yogurt container.

And now, enjoy some tiles:

I’m not usually a sucker for these kinds of things, but the invisibility of the moustache has a certain appeal. Plus, secret identity… you know.

So I asked the ever-reasonable Schreibs to weigh in on flowers…and um…you see the resulting diva-esque quote.  “But Schreiber, lupines aren’t even available in the floral trade, they don’t make good cut flowers, they wither.”

“I want lupines.”
