<br />
<br />I happened across the following Youtube video via <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/home/">StumbleUpon</a> (if you have yet to try StumbleUpon you have no idea how much joyously epic procrastination awaits you).
<br />
<br /><iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3FV-YO46E8Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<br />
<br />I was very intrigued and so I have decided to give it a try this evening. Tomorrow, if I remember, I shall post the results! If it doesn't work I can always just wash it out or haul out the straightening iron.
<br />

<br />
<br />About a year ago I promise to share my salad recipe with you and I just found the picture I took to show with the recipe, so I think it high time to share with you my Sweet Summer Salad.
<br />
<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig9DRJ7QWrEBwySD2XAeG_X2CxnCbRFie3agEcYnYAvATk4ZnPmBig38wvv90MM7qLITAxvSbij74ZPdH5FxnXaMNE9qbFwsrdRor3nBVxUCi2aK2L-dKeAmW6nsfDzGcc7jnMp5Ylq58/s1600/DSC06692.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig9DRJ7QWrEBwySD2XAeG_X2CxnCbRFie3agEcYnYAvATk4ZnPmBig38wvv90MM7qLITAxvSbij74ZPdH5FxnXaMNE9qbFwsrdRor3nBVxUCi2aK2L-dKeAmW6nsfDzGcc7jnMp5Ylq58/s400/DSC06692.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643063220085147090" /></a>
<br />
<br />Ingredients (I apologize for lack of measurements. I kind of just eye-ball it):
<br />
<br />Baby Spinach
<br />Asparagus
<br />Blackberries
<br />Apple (I use Royal Gala)
<br />Pear
<br />Red Onion
<br />Blue Cheese (not too soft; you need to crumble it)
<br />Candied Walnuts (I just found these at the grocery store, but you can find a recipe online <a href="http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/candied_walnuts/">here</a> to candy them yourself if you prefer)
<br />2 tsp Maple Syrup
<br />1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
<br />1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
<br />1 tsp Lemon Juice
<br />Fresh-Cracked Black Pepper
<br />
<br />Instructions:
<br />
<br />Rinse all vegetables and fruit. Bring water to boil in a large pot. While water is boiling you can Chop up the apples, pears, and red onion and put them in a large salad bowl with the baby spinach.
<br />
<br />Using tongs, so you don't burn your fingers, dip the pieces of asparagus in the boiling water for about 10-20 seconds for each stem. Place asparagus in a colander or sieve and run under cold water and place in the fridge to chill.
<br />
<br />Put maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of the cracked pepper in a clean jar. Seal the jar with its lid and shake it vigorously until the ingredients are well-combined. Set aside.
<br />
<br />Chop up the now-chilled asparagus and add to the salad bowl. Add the candied walnuts and crumble some blue cheese on top. Toss all the ingredients in the salad bowl and you can either add the dressing yourself or serve it separately to allow diners to put the amount they desire. (I do it myself so that no one tries to eat the salad without putting this tasty salad dressing on first).

<br />
<br />
<br />Eat and enjoy! Try not to hurt yourself from being swept off your feet by this one!

How strange is that? It feels like it wasn't long ago that I was tiny enough for my brother to pick me up and swing me onto his shoulders. The image of him trying that now is quite amusing. Take a moment. Enjoy.<br /><br />I will hopefully get a hold of some pictures of the festivities once they occur and will upload them here. Because I have no internet access at my house it will take some time for things to be added here. The computer I use at work is...special...to say the least. To write this I must first write the sentences and then wait a minute for the words to show up on the screen, letter by letter. It's alright though. I don't mind the wait... most of the time.<br /><br />I hope you are all enjoying June. Crazy that it is almost done since it only just started. Time is wild.<br /><br />Love,<br />~booBoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01227313175129768167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3665945376546856303.post-39774789923679936192009-06-16T13:15:00.003-03:002011-08-20T18:45:28.508-03:00Reaching My PeakDear Biological Clock,
<br />
<br />Please take a moment to stop yelling at me.
<br />
<br />I am only 20, and technically that means my peak time of fertility is in a year or two. Seriously though, bio clock? You need to keep up with the times. Your insistence on being caught up in the ways of back-in-the-day is becoming quite aggravating. If you had your way girls would be getting married at the age of 12 again.
<br />
<br />Enough!
<br />
<br />Love,
<br />~Francesca

I have been neglectful of my readers (thank you to the 3 of my followers by the way...funny term that...followers...like I'm a religion!), and this simply will not do.<br /><br />My lack of posts had nothing to do with a lack of events or show crazinesses; there has been plenty of both. I just did not take that little moment out of my day to keep my little nook of letters updated. I am sorry, and though this may very well likely happen again, I can at least promise a Period of No Neglect for a bit.<br /><br />I'm sorry!<br />~booBoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01227313175129768167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3665945376546856303.post-24129628022389038602008-12-01T22:02:00.003-04:002008-12-01T22:04:14.703-04:00Dear Readers,<br /><br />I thought you might want to know about <a href="http://electricsheep.org/">this</a>, if you don't already.

Never before have I felt so encouraged and supported by my peers. You are such a wonderful group of talented and kind-spirited individuals, and when we get together there are limitations to our creative output. With you I feel that I can truly be myself, and not worry about anyone thinking I'm being silly or emotional or ridiculous.<br /><br />Everyday I look forward to the time when I will get to see you all again and partake in our absurdist bilingual antics. Come Sunday, I don't know what I will do without having my evening hours treated by the love and enthusiasm you each bring to our little Windsor Theatre. Each of you has a truly beautiful soul and a large heart, and I love each and every one of you very very much.<br /><br />Merde!!! :)<br /><br />~booBoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01227313175129768167noreply@blogger.com0
