Had the best time tonight making crazy invitations with my super cool friend Nancy. The dog kept bugging us with her squeaky ball, plopping it on top of our work when we ignored her. Fairly effective strategy...

Also made this extra good chicken salad with miso-baked chicken; I took nerimiso and spread it over frozen chicken and then baked it (Nerimiso is miso paste, lemon zest, lemon juice, sesame oil and seeds, ginger, and honey). Sliced it while warm and put it over lovely salad greens with organic heritage tomatoes, carrots, and red bell peppers, then topped it off with an Asian-themed sesame-mustard salad dressing. Plus Lime-Mashed Yams. Nancy became uncontrollably enamoured of this meal to the point that I began to fear for her very sanity. Luckily, after some time she was able to collect herself.

The entirely unrelated picture I have posted here is of this absolutely amazing watersnake I encountered on a hike to the creek up at 13 Springs.

Wow, that's a cool snake. I'm sick! Oh no! I have a sore throat and a huge sinus headache and the sniffles from hell. I have to get better fast!

O no! You can't be sick now! I will send powerfully healing thoughts in your direction and zap you better.

I must eat the meal you've described. I must.

Archivist, I think you would find it delicious! I miss you! Been thinking of you often. Nancy said that she made it for her friend on Tuesday and it turned out great.
