heyyyy guess where i am? at home. online.

yep. thats right. after 8 hours in the wellington public library battling the floridian equivalent of the biblical plaques (crotchety deaf grannies, shushing and bustling librarians, suspicious right wingers, hefty candy chucking children, sulky cell phone talking teenagers, an infestation of massive grasshoppers, no food and worse, no COFFEE) i just found what i had been looking for frantically yesterday morning: wireless.
*shakes fist*
but it did make for good bonding on the phone with coworkers who heard when a tootsie pop whizzed by narrowly missing my head and then heard me turn around and lay mental waste to a particularly tubby and obnoxious bully. ill have to log on and do some work next week to make up for lost time but its fine, im in southern florida afterall, i cant believe im saying this but i might even enjoy escaping into some work. wow. new low.
for now im running, riding, cooking and working on responding to important emails that have been burning a hole in my inbox. and doing more research on The Next Step, hoping my contact contacts me.

here's what ill be making tonight or tomorrow with good floridian tomatoes for a little party moms having for her friend thats leaving town permanently for mexico (smart woman). its good for potlucks and the like:

roasted tomato and goats’ cheese tart with thyme

1 lb ripe plum tomatoes
soft goat cheese
chopped fresh thyme, plus a few small sprigs
1 x 375 g pack fresh, ready-rolled puff pastry
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
extra virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 375

put the pastry on a baking tray and score a line on it about ½ in in from the edge, all the way around, but dont cut it all the way through. put goat cheese crushed garlic, chopped thyme salt and pepper in a bowl, mix, spread the cheese mixture on the pastry up to the line. thin slice the tomatoes and arrange on top in overlapping lines, season the tomatos, drizzle olive oil on top, put thyme over the whole thing and bake in the middle of the over for 55 mins or until pastry is browning and the tomatoes are roasted well.
