Effing Effing Effing Internet.

I'm so mad right now because I was just about to chat with Hot Lips and Mags and the stupid internet data limit was reached and she's over there across the ocean and Mags is over there too and they are probably wondering wtf happened to me. Anyway, I'll write this blog post tonight and then post it tomorrow so they have something fun to read!

It was a great weekend everyone! I played in a tennis tournament, here Ruby's Mom and I are with with a racket and Ruby. I'll call them Racket Pose 1 and Racket Pose 2. :)




The racket is actually borrowed, we had borrowed two blah blah blah- Today though, we our own bought rackets at this store called Game. Game is basically like Target but like dustier without any clothes.  I also bought a loaf pan, a cookie sheet and some other crap I can't remember.  

Here I am in action:


In Other News:
Thurs night and Fri, BC and RM and I were all hanging out on our day off because of the elections! I had bought this $10.00 container of cut olives and I've been bragging about them all week but I didn't actually know what I was going to make with them. (AHH HAA I SHOULD have just put them on like 5 pizzas.)

ANYWAY BritCan convinced me to make this amazing relish, which was whoa. (He really is an amazing cook, tonight he taught me how to make this tempura dip, SO easy and fun! Flour, and egg, soda water and salt, Amazing)  Back to last week, so I was supposed to pickle this garlic in vinegar, sugar and salt and then combine it with mortar and pestled (but we didn't have that) coriander, chilie and one more thing and then mush it together with the olives…It turned out GREAT except as you'll see from this picture, I didn't have a cutting board and when I smushed the garlic on top an upside down plate, it broke.* Bad Idea Note Taken. (I might have to turn this blog just back into a regular Domestic Nemesis blog because the cooking adventures are plentiful with so many missing ingredients, inappropriate utensils, and a general lack of cookbooks (although BC seems to have them all in his head)


* Side note- On Saturday, RB cut her hand on the plate throwing it away, which made her late to the tourney and may have even affected her play! :) 


All The Best,
Non-Sequitur

P.S. I miss you Gina, I love the way you write. Because it matches the wonderful, crazy-ass way you talk, and I imagine, how you think. Can't wait to get you on this side of the world again, sister!

Surprise! What did Talie and Ms. Sequitur find? HA I meant Ms. NON-Sequitur of course.... How exciting, a teeny tiny (or tee-niny as my Grandma B says) little critter. A baby gecko is gracing her presence on my keyboard. Check out this amazing video footage taken immediately upon noticing the gecko/lizard/cold blooded animal: PS: I made it to work today. I continue to do a Christian Cross each time I arrive somewhere. If anyone knows another religious type sayings I can do or say when I am safe, I would appreciate it. I'm not sure if Jesus and I are vibing.  BIG HUGS Non-Sequitur!

SATURday

In the Park...I think it was the 4th of July. (Think that song by Chicago) Well, it's the 7th today- So how was everyone's 4th? How do you feel about your independence? I was thinking about that-- how come we always say, "Happy 4th!" and not "Happy Independence!" Wouldn't it seriously be an adventure if we were still part of England? Maybe we'd all have British accents and Canada and the US would all be like one big country. Maybe we'd all have health care? And calling my Canadian friends wouldn't be long distance! Yesss! Pets are so much work. Man, I'm babysitting these fish and they are exhausting. I mean, I have to feed them TWICE a day. Come on! Hee Hee. :) I suppose that's why I murdered my fish in college...I mean I didn't murder him/her I just forgot to feed him/her for like a week or so and then he/she died. Do fish REALLY have a gender? No. They are all just fish. Fish sex (sex like making love) would b...

Mutinondo

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder ...
