Swamped and Scattered
I'm completely swamped and scattered in the wake of GTS. Today is May 1st. That makes it:
International Workers' Day
Beltane
Vappu
and
Loyalty Day (so proclaims George W. Bush).
Tomorrow is the first Columbia City Farmer's Market of the season. It's also the Young Author's Festival at Kate's school. I desperately need to get Kate's passport situation taken care of so she can go visit her dad again. Next week is the meeting for families of incoming Orca 6th graders, Kate's class photo, the Orca plant sale, the Chief Sealth Trail Grand Opening Celebration and we're scheduled for a fry party with James and Carol. I want to be part of all of these things.
I returned home from Las Vegas desperate to cook and have been doing just that. When I have a chance, I will be updating my recipe pages with reports on Peach-Spiced Lamb Chops, Wasabi Salmon Burgers with Edamame-Cilantro Pesto (Kate at a whole salmon burger! Unheard of!), Lemon and Pine Nut Orzo, Tomato and Avocado Salad with Preserved Lemons, Tuscan Tuna Sandwiches and Gingerbread Waffles.

I was busily posting a rant of my own about the concept of a "Loyalty Day," and poked around on Wikipedia. Apparently it was actually signed into law in 1958, by that Congress and President Eisenhower. The holiday's been around since 1921, it seems. Thought it was interesting, anyway.
And gingerbread waffles sound yummy!
