thursday night dinner

oh hey there.

 last night i made dinner.

delicious, no?

 i mustered up the energy in my post-operative recovery state

and whipped up some delicious Linguine alla Vongole

(linguine with clams)

"there are 3 lemons. i asked for 12. baby wanted 12."

when a recipe calls for wine, what to do with the rest of the bottle?...

he makes me happy.

dishing it up

taking care of me.

 we've been trying to replicate this recipe

holy seafood.

 from our trip to Kos last summer

and i think we're almost there

last night's was delectable.

even though the fresh parsley i was SURE that we had already

turned out to be cilantro once we got home from the grocery store

so we used dried parsley.

not the same.

here we are at Nick the Fisherman's in Kos Town

look how tan and happy and bald (Nick) we are.

[fact: i wore the same earrings today that i was wearing in that picture.]

thank you all for your concern about my surgery.

it was super minor.

excision of a mole that had a (low) suspicion for malignancy

but that doesn't mean it hurts minorly.

procedures involving any part of the rib cage are the worst.

you can't move, or breathe, or cough, or sneeze

without excruciating pain.

awesome.

and today i start my MICU rotation.

i miiiight have had a minor nervous breakdown last night.

and by might, i clearly mean, definitely did.

wish me luck.
