Tonight is our big fireworks show here in Madison<\/a> – and Mark & I just decided we’re not motivated enough to walk over to the crew boats pier, and watch them go off across the lake.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of smaller shows tomorrow. I think we’re both tired because of being at the librarians conference over last weekend, and not sleeping very well in hotels, and then having a lot of long work days trying to get caught up after getting back. I had to get up early today to go retrieve my foster daughter from camp. So that added 3 hours of highway driving, on top of the inevitable let down of how quickly her room has turned back into a disaster zone. I cleaned it as soon as I got home from dropping her off two weeks ago, but the reversion has been even faster than I thought it would be. She did invite friend to come over and help her mess things up, so I guess it figures.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is going to be the grilling day of the holiday weekend – pork with a chile rub, baked beans, salad – and this grilled pita bread<\/a> with parsley garlic oil from Gourmet<\/em> that I made last summer [oh, I see now that I’ve looked up the recipe, it’s me that makes it with parsley – the original calls for oregano], that’s easy and delish.<\/p>\n

Today I made other summer stuff that I have made before, old favorites – chicken & sugarsnap pea salad with tahini dressing, and balsamic roasted zucchini. The chicken salad I made the first time for my mom, during those few weeks of her last illness – she was diagnosed with cancer on June 7th, and died on July 22, 2004. In between she liked to eat a big plate of a dressed salad, like chicken salad, on top of lettuce. She liked Whole Food’s tarragon chicken salad<\/a>, too. Now that it’s zucchini season, I really want to make Tambellini’s fried zucchini<\/a> – but I really do hate deep frying. I guess I’ll just have to have it if I actually go to Pittsburgh<\/a> in October. And there’s enough chicken salad that I need to remember to take some to Rach when we walk in the a.m.<\/p>\n
