So, as my loyal readers know, I recently went to Canada for a few months. I got back a little over a week ago and have been settling back into life in these parts. My schedule is pretty open these days, but I have tons to do nonetheless. No shortage of things to keep me busy.
Right now I have mushroom risotto on the stove for dinner and some dough rising to bake some bread, so I'll probably be running back and forth to the kitchen while I'm writing this post.
No. Back now. Risotto with me, bread in oven. I was supposed to split the dough into two loaves but didn't bother so I might go back in half an hour and have monster loaf on my hands overflowing into my oven. That would be cool.
Anyway. Did a bunch of yardwork this morning cutting back all the old dead plants from last year and getting ready to grow new ones. Things look a lot better now, and spring is virtually upon us. This'll be my first spring in the house after having bought the house last summer and I'm a bit worried I trimmed some things I shouldn't have, but it'll be ok in the end, I'm sure. The previous owner had the place landscaped really nicely and for my neighbors' sake I hope I don't manage to ruin it all in one fell swoop, but I won't be around a whole lot this spring and summer so the possibility exists...
Anyway. Reason for this post is that I have a new neighbor, so to speak. Right next to the bus stop that I disembark at when I come back from downtown is a brand new medical marijuana shop. Somehow I missed the fact that this was going to be happening, but apparently they've sprung up ALL OVER either just Denver or all of Colorado. One of which being no more than two blocks from my house. What happened? It's a bit odd. And right around the corner from the store is this house that has signs up saying that I can get an examination, presumably for a prescription, from the house. It's a bit fishy, methinks.
But I didn't even realize that this was going to be happening and I come home and they're all over the place. Bizarre.

Yum...I love risotto, something about gooey rice makes an asian very happy. Maybe you should stop by and say hi to your new neighbors, bring them some brownies perhaps? Also, it's a shame you don't get to take advantage of your new house you just moved into. Instead it just sits there empty, while you're gone here and there. Have you thought about getting a roommate?
ReplyDeleteThere will be no roomie until a long-term lady-friend moves in with me, which may never happen. It's not a large house. And I don't need the supplemental income to be worth the trouble of having someone else live in my house.
ReplyDeleteUm....I thought that was evident from the name with the funky z and the dash???
ReplyDeleteI guess a roommate is more trouble than it's worth in your situation. But then again, so are long term lady-friends....let me tell you!
Tell me!
ReplyDeleteAnd I was totally kidding about the asian thing...
And speaking of risotto...
