Something I learned this week....

Prepackaged burritos can be heated in a wide-slice toaster.

However, if it is a frozen burrito, let it thaw first or you have a crispy toasted outside and icy bean-slush in the centre.

Another warning: Make sure the tortilla is intact. The cleaning staff at work probably don't like exploded burrito guts in the toaster.

California, Here I Come...

Still more than a month away, but this should be fun.

Here is the hotel, Hotel Triton, Adam's company travel agent found for us in San Francisco.

They have a wine tasting hour with massage chairs and Tarot readings every evening, fresh baked cookies twice a day, and "celebrity" rooms designed by Jerry Garcia, Carlos Santana, Woody Harrelson and more.

Sure beats the Holiday Inn Express.

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

News update on me:

Work: status quo.
Home: very nice. Has more art now thanks to generous Benjamin siblings allowing us a turn with Sassy's time-share masterpiece. Still needs a sofa.
Personal projects: pursuing a car-free week in honour of Commuter Challenge.
Menus: nothing of note lately. Tried a mock-pot-pie tonight with some leftover chicken and a Pillsbury pressure-dough tube, it was soupy.
Mundane achievements: survived 35th birthday. Am I middle aged yet?
Fun: Off to San Francisco for a week in July . Milwaukee, too, but that's work and not nearly so choice a destination.
Sooner fun: Sissy, Hubby and the Bump coming to visit Saturday, if plans don't change. (The Bump being the now two-years-and-some Owen).
At the moment: off to wash me head and get some sleep.
