Sugar Snap Peas! They are wonderful! I had a few start to come out in the mystery part of the garden. I couldn't recall if these were some some sort of snow beans/peas or the advertised snap peas. So I was hesitant at first to just eat them raw like the guy on TV (manic organic) was doing. So instead I washed them and put them in the fridge with the green beans. I figured I could toss em in a stir fry or salad. But omg, these are so good straight outta the fridge I ate all but 3 of them which then got steamed with the green beans for dinner. And those were yummy too! I have a new favorite vege, me thinks.

See for yourself the garden goodness. Today's lunch was a yummy spinach salad with some of the cherry tomatoes and sugar snap peas; all fresh from the garden. And then I tossed in the last carrots and some shrooms (I luv shrooms) and cheese and raspberry cranberry dressing and it was teh yummy. And then dinner ended up being a baked potato which I tossed all sorts of bad stuff like cheese and sour cream on top of but it was complimented by the freshly steamed green beans. Be warned if you ever come visit me (hint, hint, I need visitors) that I will toss Tony Chachere's cajun spice on just about everything I cook. It really is the only spice you need in your spice cabinet.

I've done almost, okay, absolutely no work today and now I'm exhausted b/c I finally managed to ride my bike down to the beach. I really need to ride every morning or evening but I get distracted by the garden and the intarweb. Must plant more sugar snap peas.

I'm just about finished installing a "french drain" in the yard. This should take care or any water finding its way into the garage instead of the yard. That also means I started placing the first of my gardening beds. yeah for gardening! I've not had too much luck with seeds in the past but I'm going to try some nice, organic brands and see what happens. Anyone have any tips they wanna share, fling em my way. I was looking at some catalogs yesteday and seeing all those yummy veges and fruits just makes my mouth water. I hope I get at least a few nice harvests of something.

Weather here has been Teh Awesome! Around 73 and sunny today so a great day to finish up this project. Guess I better head over to Home Depot and hope they have the final pieces I need to cover the ends of the drains.

The new job is good, it could be an awesome gig 'cept for the fact going into the office is teh major traffic sux. It can take anywhere from 45 minutes to almost two hours! and that's just b/c there's construction not even any major wrecks. Hopefully it will just be a few weeks or else I'm going to take this other gig. I really am kind of enjoying being in Baytown during the week as I get to see all my other nephews and nieces. It's amazing how even seeing them for just a few minutes at the end of the day makes me happy.
