MEME: Six Word Memoir

So my dear friend, Ms. Vaguely Urban, sprung on me this meme, the purpose of which is to write your own memoir in only six words.

She herself set the bar very high, so it's taken me quite a while to deliberate on this subject. As it turns out, my life is best described in phrases of five or seven words, and not really in phrases of six words.

But I came up with something. Not the greatest, so I have added illustrations to make it seem better. So here it is, my memoir:

KT's MEMOIR (in six words)

Appears harmless, but ...

It's a TRAP!

PS I TRIED to find you on Sat. but it was so crowded and after I looked around a while some dumb model and singer came with their babies and it was all paparazzi everywhere, so I took my sammich and went home. :(

I hope you had a great weekend and Happy Pesach! (And birthday?)

I love it - it's like you're a monk, creating an illustrated manuscript.

That may be the only way that you are like a monk.

It IS the only way I am like a monk.
But if I was a monk, I would EITHER be the kind that makes illustrated manuscripts, OR the kind that makes booze.

More likely the second.

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta...

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...
