post card from pico

my blogmate is in france, mb is stuck in cleveland, my family is all out of state, ck is writing a paper... i'm actually not bored (right now) or jealous (especially of cleveland). i have a fridge full of homemade salsa, the dixie chicks and alison krauss are on austin city limits, and i'm making a ridiculous mess in the kitchen, only stopping to write this on my BRAND NEW LAPTOP.

such deliciousness is happening -- too bad nobody's here to eat it with me! chipotle orange barbecue chicken, baked green rice (made with the last of nb's famous green salsa and a little cheddar cheese), mango salsa, lemon cupcakes frosted with cream cheese frosting and topped with strawberries. i'd call nb to join me, especially seeing as it's his salsa (and i've already stretched his pico de gallo into tilapia with salsa-flavored black beans and rice, and gemelli pasta with the salsa, artichokes, chicken and parmesan -- the pico de gallo is nice and garlicky so i can pretend it's a base for an italian sauce)... but nb is visiting his dad in hawaii.

so hello, world travellers, from here in cold-but-cozy chicago. the salsas miss you. so there.
