This morning, my things arrived, including my camera. I am looking forward to showing you some of the things I have been talking about.
First, I must say how happy I am with my experience with ABF's U-pack moving service. Thanks to them, I was able to move my things across the country at about the price of renting a truck, without having to drive the truck myself or tow my car behind. Given that I am now unemployed, I couldn't justify getting movers or the extra cost of certain similar services, but I have been really pleased with ABF. Everything seems to be just the way it was when Scott and his friends wedged it in there back in Georgia. I have unloaded a lot of the lighter stuff, and we'll deal with the rest this evening.
After some time unloading, I made myself the lovely lunch you see above, a tomato millefeuille. In the background, you can see what is left of the tomatoes I harvested Wednesday -- a lot, I know. One of the things I did as I made my meal plan was try to figure out how I could use those tomatoes up. The first thing I did was turn to a search on Food Gawker, which is a fabulous site that conglomerates many food blogs, giving a quick peek into each one. My lunch photo may not be quite as lovely as that taken by the recipe poster, but it turned out quite tasty. My next step, I think, is to make a lot of tomato sauce before the rest go bad.
Here's a peek at the garden they came from:
After I came inside from taking these photos, I saw the cat, Hoser, rooting around in a bag on the dining room floor. He picked up something in his mouth and ran off with it. I thought it was a bag of trash, and I went after him to collect whatever had struck his fancy. When I found him, I discovered that he had trapped a tiny grey mouse. I picked it up and took it outside. I have no idea how the mouse got in the house, but if it gets back in, I know Hoser is a diligent guard.
