New glasses

Eyeglasses

Bought not because I was eagerly desiring to change my look, but because I am a bit of a klutz and the old ones sustained injury.

(PS: I am slated to have lunch shortly with Jessie and Ed at Jason’s Deli. I will wear a shirt over my white chest hair.)

    Oh, my. Does this mean that you broke your self-deprecating Icky Twerp spectacles?

    There is a piece in today’s Dallas Morning News on the sad life of Icky Twerp.

    Cooper, what do you eat when you go to Jason’s?

    Cindy, strange as it seems, our friend Dr Tee send me a copy of that article minutes after I posted my reference to Cooper’s Icky Twerp spectacles.

    The business about his wife’s suicide by rat poison was pretty awful.

    Cindy, he has the baked potato. With butter.

  5. Cindy Scroggins on August 23rd, 2009 at 1:10 pm

    Thank you, Deron–I knew that. I just wanted him to say it, because it tickles me so much.

  6. Coop on August 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm

    Deron is correct, Cindy. I also have the Club Crackers (with some of my butter, which I get “on the side”) and the vanilla soft-serve “ice cream”.

    Thank you very much.

    Club Crackers.

  8. Sheila Ryan on August 23rd, 2009 at 3:00 pm

    Crackers. Mmmmm. Crackers.

    (Thus spake Aaron Winslow.)

    Want me to send some Hatch green chiles your way? What a harvest. Headed north from there so you can take your shirt back off.

  10. Coop on August 24th, 2009 at 8:16 am

    To Albuquerque? Say hello to Carol, George and Leah for me.

  11. Derek White on August 24th, 2009 at 8:29 am

    In Albuquerque, headed north to Detroit after refueling ourselves on pozole. Mongering chiles for calamari.

    Anyone in NYC or en route that wants to partake in hatch harvest, hit me up, we’ll have plenty. About to roast and shuck them then put them on ice. Getting high of the supply.

    This is a great year for Hatch chiles. So far I’ve made calabacitas (Mexican squash and green chile casserole), lots of chile and sharp cheddar cheese sandwiches, and some great salsa. Still to come: chiles rellenos (the New Mexico way, rolled in rough corn meal–except I stuff mine with goat cheese), chilaquiles verdes, and a kind of casserole I envision made with layers of corn tortillas, quorn (really good fake chicken–sorry, Michael Smith), chiles, sharp cheese, and a sour cream/salsa mixture. We love us some Hatch chiles.

    Any of y’all been to Hatch? It’s a lovely little town.

    Oh sweet Jesus–come home & cook, Cindy!

  14. Sheila Ryan on August 24th, 2009 at 9:48 am

    Slavering.

  15. Derek White on August 24th, 2009 at 10:56 am

    yeah, great Hatch harvest, evidently they got more than they can pick. Just had me a green chile cheese omelet washed down with Peets coffee we’ve been traveling with. Now gonna pack a pipe with the chile seeds.

  16. Chris P on August 24th, 2009 at 4:16 pm

    They were roasting them out front of Central Market in Houston yesterday, great smell. Had some hatch chile rolls the other day, sadly the bakery ran out when we went back for seconds.

    Cindy, will this be part of the caretaker package should my application be successful? I’d camp under your car just for the food.

  18. Cindy Scroggins on August 24th, 2009 at 6:30 pm

    Phil, one of the best things about our move to Marfa will be the time I will be afforded to cook. And on our recent visit, I saw a big iron roaster perched outside the little Parade supermarket, waiting for the chile harvest. Mmmm, there’s nothing like the taste or aroma of freshly roasted green chiles.
