K has his last cross country track meet today at another school.
They think they'll finish the basement tiling by Tuesday, along with everything else! Wouldn't that be nice.
All of a sudden, some of the trees are completely without leaves, the magic of fall.
I seem to have 2 hours completely to myself...wow. I've managed to get all my chores done. I just baked some salmon with my usual lemon pepper and dried tarragon. Then I cooked some chinese broccoli (gai-lon). The gai-lon comes all washed and trimmed at the local grocery store now. So I cut the leaves and stems into 2 inch pieces. I boil some salted water with about a tablespoon of olive oil then I add the gai-lon and simmer covered for about 10 minutes. Then I remove it from the water and mix in a tablespoon of oyster sauce. How easy it that?
There's a picture of chinese broccoli here along with some more detailed recipes.

Ooooo! Are you ready for the project to be finished? What are you going to do first? I can't wait to hear what you put in the new space.
Gosh, that broccoli sounds delicious. Now I'm hungry for something with oyster sauce!
I know what you mean about the trees. I've only been through two falls here and I mis-judged the timing on it. I wanted to take a photo of the house across the street because it had a lovely maple (or something) with gorgeous red leaves. I looked out there today and all the leaves were gone. Oh well.
Mmmm, you always seem to make me hungry Christine when I visit your blog. Tonight is the night I am baking the pumpkin pie. Although I am having a disagreement with my Dad about the pumpkin pie. He thinks there is only grammar pie and that what we know as grammar is what your pumpkin pie is. It's hilarious. I cannot convince him. So in his next post he will have to eat his words and give a link to your blog. Thanks for leaving him a comment. He is not well really but he always has this amazing spirit and sense of humor!
I also cannot wait to see your new room!
Just a plane ride away, I think I will get inspired after I see the finished basement!
Lilly, I think you may be the one to eat your words, I just googled grammer pie and it says it's the British or American version of pumpkin pie! Maddening how parents are always right!
