Corelyn and I went to the Farmers’ market this weekend and scored on some excellent bounty. Potatoes (red, purple, and white), some tomatoes, basil (which I made into pesto), two huge heads of lettuce, lots of avocados, zucchini and summer squash, and some brussel sprouts.
Delicious. I filled my sink with some water, and let the lettuce and brussel sprouts sit for a while, shaking out the dirt.

This is Corelyn peeking out to double check the coast is clear, that no one sees her popping out to Narnia.
There she goes, out to Narnia.
Back from the other world. What a night!
I had a dream:
I was in Jeff’s car, driving, and he was there, too. We were getting off a highway and onto an on-ramp, when I noticed the accelarator wasn’t working and we could only go 40 mph. There was a lot of traffic on the off-ramp, and I was worried I’d add to it by going slowly (I don’t know why this made logical sense) and so I got out of the car, with Jeff, and lifted the car to carry down the ramp. Then the ramp turned into a very steep staircase, but the kind that have no backs to the stairs, basically a cross between a staircase and a ladder. I was walking down it, carrying the car, and there were tons of people around, standing on each step/rung waiting their turn, like they were in traffic. I excused myself and cut them, because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to stop, and then I knocked a kid down a few steps by accident. So I lifted him up and threw him up to where he was before, and then kept going, all the while holding my car.
Then I woke up.
I love steak ums, and last night I needed a quick dinner for Cor, Jeff, and I to eat between packing up Cor’s life. I don’t buy the packaged ones, I just make them as follows.
You need:
1 package thin steak (usually like 1.5 lbs. This is enough for 3-4 people, or roughly 2 women and 2 large hungry men)
1 package mushrooms (white are good)
1 onion (yellow or red or white)
some cheese (any kind)
1 french baguette
Saute the onion for about 2 minutes, then add mushrooms, continue to saute.
Cook the steak in a pan with some oil or Pam, add the cheese.
Cut the bread. Stick a piece of steak (or two!) on a section of bread, add sauteed mushrooms and onions. Maybe add some ketchup, and devour.
(We made smashed potatoes and green beans to go with it. Yum!)
So I had a dream the night before Cor called me to let me know she had crashed into the curb:
I was driving Becca’s car, and it was night time. There were children running around, and suddenly one ran straight in front of me so I swerved. I must have been going very fast, though, so I went up on the curb and flipped the car (she drives a large white SUV.) I ended up getting out, and the police came, and I tried to ask them to help me, but they didn’t believe I was the driver of the car for some reason, and kept telling me there was no child that had been in the road. I kept looking back at the car, and I knew I was hurt, but no one would help me because they thought I was lying.
Then, I woke up.
