The little things...

About six months ago I went about creating my '101 in 1001' list. Simply, it's a list of 101 things I'd like to accomplish, be them big or small, in the the subsequent 1001 days. I ran across the concept a while back and thought it was a great idea. So far I've been able to cross off quite a few, such as:

#45 - sell my old car
#49 - write a letter to a friend
#67 - visit my big sister
#86 - watch the Indiana Jones movies (can you believe I'd never seen them???)

But, believe it or not, #1 on my list is to start a potted herb garden.

I love to cook. And any good cook will tell you that fresh herbs are better than dried. However, in the absurdity department, the supermarket prices of fresh herbs are rivaled only by that of petroleum and those silly coffee beans eaten and pooped by lemurs. So, somehow, it was the first thing that came to mind when creating my list. Now I can cross it off:



Rosemary - I went for a cool, creeping variety. I can taste the lamb chops already:


Basil - tomato/basil pizza sounds like a winner:


Mint - Can anyone say Mojito?


I look forward to adding a few more herbs soon like dill, cilantro, thyme, and chives. And I'm sure I'll get a kick out of using them. Without my '101 in 1001' I wonder if I'd ever have gotten around to it. Who knows?

...and I'm not talking about this has-been, butt-of-nostalgic-pop culture-jokes, 90's reject:

no, no...not that guy (who now, ironically, has absolutely NO hair at all).

I'm referring to wiz kid, 18-year-old, photography superstar Joey Lawrence. The real Joey Lawrence, if you ask me. You have to check his stuff out...then pick your jaw up off the floor.

1. Congrats to Ben and Kris on their baby boy!


2. My niece, Jasmine, is growing like crazy...what a big girl! Already in the pocket book, I see:



3. I've had an epiphany...a multifaceted one:

• Watching the Hornets win this series will please me greatly.

• There is only one thing that would please me more.

• That thing will be to watch the Spurs lose this series.

A gift to any and all LP blog stalkers. Beautiful:




Enjoy the weekend!

Seriously?

time for a pachydermic intervention

'don't play with your food'

I was pondering whether this actually worked or not...then I could hear my good friend Jonathan's voice in my head (laughing heartily). He's a pro audio preservationist and he wasn't nearly as optimistic as I was. Hmmm...I'll have to get a verdict from him before I go out and buy up a bunch of produce.
