Squirrel!
We had a squirrel who made a nest in the tree outside our dining room window last year. We thought he died because he suddenly wasn’t there anymore and there was a dead squirrel down in the path that leads away from our apartment. We didn’t know if it was the same squirrel but it could have been. We missed him and were kind of sad about it.Well, you can imagine our surprise when this year not one but four jumpy squirrels moved into that old nest. The nest is just a bunch of leaves and sticks gathered up in the crook of some of the tree’s base branches. You wouldn’t think four squirrels could fit in there. But they do! We watch them come and go with their cute little bushy tails all day long. They jump from branch to branch providing endless entertainment for the cats and us.
Who needs dinner entertainment? Not us!

Eggs Florentine!
The other day when Bethany was visiting I told her that the next time she visited me she HAD to make me Eggs Benedict because I had some lemons on hand from my mom’s tree and it was about time I used them. That’s the great thing about Bethany, you can pretty much demand that she cook you something and she will happily do it for you. She’s so strange. And of course I can’t be bothered with anything as fussy as bernaise sauce making! That’s way too much stirring and being careful for my addled brain that likes to go off and check email for an hour or two.
So we had a girl’s night out the other night (super fun visit to my local Persian grocery store with my friend Jen who’s visiting from the East Coast) and the next morning Bethany whipped these up.
Except we both decided we didn’t really feel like walking to the market for ham so we made them Eggs Florentine with spinach instead! I like spinach way better than ham anyway.
Yum, yum, yum! Good to the last bite!
