AC and stuff

[magid]

Long story short, last night I spent two hours finding out that the offered air conditioner doesn't fit in my window, which is too wide. This was frustrating, not only about the air conditioner, but also the time spent, since that would've been cooking time. Silver linings were that I had time to hang out with a friend, and it was nice and cool last night (if only the rest of the summer could be so lovely!). So now I get to decide whether I should try to fit getting an air conditioner into the limited time I have this afternoon or Sunday before Shavuot.

There's a new ad in the T tunnel outside Harvard, a black and white ad for some new kind of Hummer. I'd think they'd not hit their target audience with T commuters.

Best print ad slogan on the T: Pork Fried Clowns.

I was getting groceries when a recipe thought descended: turkey thighs roasted over onion, garlic, and figs. Not fresh figs, dried Calmyrna figs. Today, this isn't sounding quite as amazing, though perhaps with some red wine, pine nuts, rosemary and lavender, it would work. Any thoughts? Also, I just got rhubarb* at the farmers market (also arugula and tomatoes), and that might be interesting with the turkey, instead of the figs, I suppose. Opinions? Suggestions?

* The other rhubarb has now been cooked with strawberries and a bit of sugar, but no dumplings; I'm thinking of topping cheesecake with (some of) it.

My thoughts: *drool* and "can I come to dinner?"

OK, then, I should stick with the odd mid-shopping inspiration. And of course you can come to dinner!
(Hey, the time shift is in the right direction, just hop a plane now. Oh, yeah, that whole sending off the passport for stupid stamp thing. Phooey. Next week, maybe? ;-)
