awesome day!

i've been doing really well this week.
not exactly sure why, but i'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

yesterday i preserved limes (and 1 lemon)
i sliced them into sixths ALMOST all the way through, packed them with salt and stuck them in a boiled container with salt and lemon&lime juice.
they will sit for 2 weeks before they are ready. they should keep for a year.
if you will remember, amy got in trouble for having pickled limes in school in little women.
i am very interested to see if they are truly fantastic. i love sour things, so i expect they will be good.
ross and i successfully resolved conflict re: what kind of humidifier we will get with no one's ego bruised and made margharitas and had chipotle and re-watched batman begins. i am looking forward to the new one.

ross's surgery is tomorrow. not sure what time yet. i am having an emotional conflict about whether i am more worried about him, or more happy to have a day off...but it isn't bothering me too much. just enough for me to pay attention.

they are pickled, although i don't think she calls them that more than once or twice.
i didn't know about the lemon/lime shortage. i got this idea in part from the book and in part from a radio program on how to make them.
thank you for your well-wishes. i'm sure i'll be on the blog while i'm recovering if i am not too stoned....or maybe it will be more if i AM stoned...hard to say.
