Wednesday’s Blog

July 2, 2008 By Carole

You get two pictures today because I won’t be able to post tomorrow.

duxbury_beach_surf.jpg

The first is, of course, the beach. We did indeed go back yesterday. It was warm and sunny; a perfect beach day, truly.

The second is of a portion of last night’s dinner. Fresh peas. The shelling goes much faster when you are drinking tequila on the rocks.

I’ll be back on Friday!

    We can never have too many beach pictures imho. Fresh peas, yum! I expect to pick the first English peas from the garden today. I can’t wait!

    You went to the beach and still had time to shell peas–pretty good! Enjoy your get-away.

    I can imagine several such tasks that would go lot’s faster with Tequila on the rocks alonside… **grin**

    Hmm, and here I thought that the tequila was the part of dinner you were featuring. 😉

    I hope you drank one for me! I’ve done that before and ended up with shells in the peas and such!!

    I have to remember the hint about tequilla and shelling peas. Good idea.

  7. Manise says

    July 2, 2008 at 8:59 am

    I love shelling peas! I’m sure the tequila helped!

  8. Danielle says

    I want to go to the beach. Now. Right this very moment.

    (Thanks for the tequila/peas tip. I’ll have to remember this one!)

    Tequila helps lots of things – especially if it’s in a margarita. Yum!

    Have a wonderful time!

  12. Romi says

    July 2, 2008 at 10:30 am

    That tequila looks so fresh! As do the peas, of course. 🙂 I can never find fresh peas around here. It’s California, fer Pete’s sake! We’re supposed to have all sorts of produce! :sigh: I’m jealous. I love peas. 🙂

  13. Deb says

    July 2, 2008 at 11:08 am

    Hick – 1 pea, 1 sip, 2 peas, 2 sips …3 sips, no peas.

  14. elizabeth says

    July 2, 2008 at 11:27 am

    You’re a stronger woman than I! Tequila on the rocks makes me shudder!

  15. Cookie says

    July 2, 2008 at 12:07 pm

    It’s too late in the season for Romi to get pea pods here. She needs to think early spring… and, yes, I know how wrong that is.

    Yum!

  16. Nora says

    July 2, 2008 at 12:16 pm

    Looks like you’re having a great week!! Keep up the fun!

  17. Lucia says

    July 2, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    Tequila speeds up cooking? Who knew? (Or maybe it just seems that way.)

    Have fun!

  18. Emily says

    July 2, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    I’ll just bet it goes faster. 😀

  19. Leslie says

    July 2, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    Oh, the beach, one of my favorite places! How fortunate to be so close that you can go there when you like. I’m envious!

  20. JessaLu says

    July 2, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    Pretty much everything goes faster with tequila. ;o)

  21. Cheryl S. says

    July 2, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    I’m just about to go out and pick the last of my peas for dinner tonight! Yum.

  22. Teyani says

    July 2, 2008 at 9:59 pm

    tequila on the rocks? mmmmm – have never tried that.. maybe I oughta drive over for a visit (heh heh – now wouldn’t that be fun!)
    I just love the ocean – as I know you do too. I’m so glad that you are getting to enjoy it on your vacation.
    have a wonderful day tomorrow 🙂

  23. gale (she shoots sheep shots) says

    July 3, 2008 at 1:59 am

    wait– the beach, tequila w/lime and fresh peas? are you my long lost twin??
    Enjoy the rest of your vacation! (as if you need encouragment)

  24. Mary says

    July 3, 2008 at 9:37 am

    Yummy pictures both! Enjoy!

  25. KnittyOtter says

    The beach, tequila and fresh peas. What a great Day! 😀

  26. ~Kristie says

    July 3, 2008 at 5:41 pm

    Mmmm… tequila. A woman after my own heart. I even find that house cleaning is more fun with a little tequila. 😉

  27. lisa says

    July 3, 2008 at 6:17 pm

    I LOVE stay at home vacations! Far less stress! Actually, this year, we’ve rented a house on a nearby pond and two sisters in law and their families (one with a kid, one without) are coming up… looking forward to it! Hmmmm… will have to try the tequila on the rocks, I’m worried though, because it has always gone down like water for me (unlike whiskey, which is firey). But it won’t help me collect peas, the whole garden set up is wicked awkward for pea picking!

  28. Judy says

    July 4, 2008 at 6:30 pm

    You’ve got that right.
