Conversations in My Neighborhood #5

C-love, Crafty and I are walking my dog and our friend's dog over to Crafty's house when I guy crossing the street sees us and starts hollering in a friendly way:

Guy: "Ya'll got to get rid of those dogs! No dogs! Have kids! Have babies! They'll take care of you when you're old. You don't need those dogs!"

(That one wasn't really a conversation I guess. Just him talking there.)

Conversations in My Neighborhood #4

Guy in passenger seat of a car as it's pulling over so he can talk to me: "Hey White Girl, can you tell me, is he ugly?" (points to driver)

Me: (laughing) I'm not going to say that!

Guy: Oh. Alright.

(pause)

Guy: But he is fat.

White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Wraps

I cooked tonight. I like cooking. I am often quite awful at it, but I always enjoy doing it. It felt good to cook. I did a modified version of this:

It came out pretty well. I will share it with C-love and see what he thinks. We are also having a friend-couple over for dinner this week and I think I am going to do some Asian curry noodles. It feels good to be getting back in the swing and taking command of my kitchen again.
