| Columbus Day
Hope you had as much fun as we did. Angela came for a visit! I had already planned on sushi for lunch. She brought a lovely large bag of apples (Jay says he can't remember Cortlands tasting as fine as these do), three cans of homemade dulce de leche, and a package of smoked salmon to augment the 'jello fish'--her name for the fake crab sticks used in sushi. The sushi contained either said crab or salmon, lightly cooked greenhouse grown petite cabbage leaves (from an experiment), and garden carrot sticks, also cooked. It was very delicious. Then we had apple slices with dulce de leche. Suzanne (who you may notice does not blog much anymore) came down and watched us eat while she blew her nose. And a starter before of bread dipped in some great Spanish olive oil and Dukkah--the nut and spice blend. We went to the Book Sale. I found a biography of Jane Austen and a few children's books--don't you like Frances the badger. too? Isaac got some fiction involving terrorists and Isabelle some more horse stories. Angela bought two games: Password and  . We had fun playing both.
Angela went to get her hair cut. I made supper: leftover wild turkey stew and quinoa. Then she and I went to see Kekexili: Mountain Patrol. Filmed in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, it is a harsh story of harsh happenings in a harsh environment. The rare Tibetan antelope, the men who kill them and the men who try to protect them. It was our nod to the Dalai Lama's visit to Ithaca, I guess.!!more_link!! | |||||||
