I have a whole bunch of cantaloupe. If you like cantaloupe, you should come eat some. I cut it into tasty bite-sized pieces just for you.
No, really. Come eat it.

Today I have rediscovered the joy of Internet radio. Specifically, I have rediscovered the magic of streaming trance/techno.
Now if I can just learn to do the robot.

Today I ran in the rain. My shoes are wet. I also made a smoothie. It tastes mostly like watered down orange juice with yogurt and blueberries. I guess there’s a reason for that.
Most of today was spent lounging by the pool with kids who aren’t married. That’s fun. Toodles.

I found this by complete accident.

On a random note, here are some of my favorite pictures.

I read Because of Winn-Dixie today. It was pretty good. I like fourth-grade reading.

What’s up with middle name modesty? I know you’ve noticed this. It’s like your middle name is a secret, or sometimes your first if you go by your middle name. But nobody gives that away freely. Especially with younger kids. Even with completely normal middle names, it’s like it’s an invasion of privacy.
I saw a snake while I was out running last week. I screamed. I’m sure it was harmless though.
I’m watching Gulliver’s Travels on Sci-Fi.
I really like this picture.

Oh, and yes. Martha reminds me that boys are emotionally constipated.

But this time it happened with a “Will you please sit up and put your foot in?” and a “Brad, you’re confusing your butt with your head again.”

As a treat for you, as I’m waiting for my zucchini bake to well, bake, I’m going to record my grandmother’s recipe for this thick, cake-like cornbread.

Ingredients (all approximate):

• 3/4 cups yellow corn meal (non-rising)
• 3 slices white bread
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 stick of butter or margarine
• 1 egg
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• dash of salt
• dash of baking soda

Directions:

1. 2-3 hours beforehand, cover bread with milk and let soak. (This can be done for a shorter amount of time if necessary.)
2. Preheat oven to 350.
3. Melt butter or margarine.
4. While butter is melting, mix and mash bread and milk mixture well then add remaining ingredients. Mix in melted butter.
5. Add the entire mixture to a greased 9″ pie pan or baking dish.
6. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown.

I just came back from the grocery store, which means I have plenty to cook and nothing to eat. What to do?
