christopher!

all i did was cook for christopher. all day today. it was lovely! not letting myself worry about anything. i got up early cause of the construction, and i did the dishes and started the cashew barley buns and made the pinapple salsa. then i went downtown to turn in my renderings. i came back, punched down and kneaded the dough, made the chocolate strawberry cobbler for desert, baked the buns, and made the salad- arugala, orange, jicama and fennel. i vaccumed around and wiped down the bathroom. when the buns were done i turned off the oven and opened the door to let it cool, then i went out, cause it's so hot here, and my oven makes the kitchen unbearable. i got potting soil and chocolate and sugar and paperclips- almost everything on my list (didn't have time to go to the natural foodstore for arrowroot powder- what is it, anyway?) then i came back home and made the brazillian black bean soup.
it was all a success except for the buns. they are little hockey pucks, with the barley getting stuck in your teeth. but christopher seemed to like them. it's so gratifying to feed a boy. they eat so much. and christopher is such an adveturous one. he liked it all, and i felt gratified. i think i have a new friend. he's so crazy- serious add or something- maybe too many drugs. he just talks nonstop, but is easily interuptable or sidetracked. it's a lovely combonation. i can answer the questions i want to and just let slide the rest.
actually, thinking about it, the cobbler kinda sucked, too. it said not to stir it- a bad idea. it needs to be stired. but there were strawberries and strawberry sorbet to go with it, so how bad could it be?
christopher brought wine, and we drank enough of the terrible stuff i asked him to do the dishes and he did, so that's always delightful.
on a sad note, i got an email from leah that i can't roadtrip with them. i don't know what to do now, if i should try and get to the michigan womyn's festival on my own, or if it's a sign i should stay home. g's on im right now and am talking it over with her. i always go against her advice, so we'll see what she says.
