Well done...
Dec. 22nd, 2010 08:01 pmThe day started early, with a call from my neighbor, who provides my driveway-clearing service (with occasional help getting vehicles unstuck from anywhere along the path). After churning up the bed of the driveway, we decided that discretion was the better part of valor and left the car at the bottom, just off the road.
I managed to complete somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000 source words today, which is pretty good.
Then Natalie and I took the car out for a spin, which was not really any kind of big deal, since all of the local roads (including the one our driveway spills out on) were pretty much clear. Our primary objective was the grocery store, since the weather dweebs promise something just short of the end of the world tomorrow.
Upon returning home, we put some rice on to cook and then prepared some port and mushrooms to go on top of it, with some sauteacute;ed asparagus on the side.
I took the opportunity to whip up some "Vesper" martinis that I learned about in Fleming's Casino Royale, and although Natalie deems them suitable for "growing hair on your chest," I find them an acceptable alternative to the traditional gin-and-vermouthd concoction that I learned to appreciate at my stepfather's knee, so to speak.
Tomorrow promises to be a snowed-in day. With this is mind, I hope to dispose of the translations I'm on the hook for, and then spend the rest of the day in the kitchen. Natalie has expressed a desire for pilmeni, and I can only second the motion.
Cheers...
