Something's in the water...

What an odd evening Thursday:
-Jere had little homework;
-Dill went to sleep at 8:30p;
-the well went dry; and
-I started thinking that some religious orders have it pretty good.

TMI? Prolly. But that's how I roll, as you know.

We made do:
-Jere found something else to occupy his evening ... XBOX;
-Dill missed dinner ... yummy Korean-style skirt steak;
-Master Mixologist neither shook nor stirred ... I poured wine; and
-I'm still mulling over those religious institutions ... think Hamlet's admonition to Ophelia.
(Or was it an admonishment? A fine line that's gotten way too fuzzy for me in the last 30-odd years.)

Anyhoo...

To accompany the steak (see Good for what ails ya! for the recipe), we had a corn salsa or corn relish or corn salad sumpthin or other...that was quite yummy.

Details?
Here goes:

-Empty a 1 lb poly bag of defrosted corn kernels into a large bowl and add 1 large ripe tomato diced, 1 avocado diced, 2 thinly sliced scallions, 2 minced garlic cloves, juice from 1 lime, a sprinkle of salt, pepper and chili powder and a shot of olive oil if you're so inclined...
-Toss and savor!

Maybe I can turn that water into gin...
