Fourth of July [July 4]
I'm really excited for my trip to the cape. Donna's folks have a place out there right by the water. Ah, I can't wait to walk on the white sandy beaches, smell the salt-water air and go swimming. I love the beach! I'm also bringing my surfboard to ride the waves. I love the fact that the Cape is not so crowded when it comes to surfing. I'm so grateful to Donna for inviting me there.
Ethan and Emily would be coming too. They make an awesome twosome! You know, like Siamese twins, they are always together in fun and what's more striking is that they never point fingers at one another. They never leak out their little secrets. They are a delight to watch when they decide to have some fun! It's like having a stampede! I am really looking forward to seeing them around and hanging out with them.
That reminds me, Irina might be there too with her new beau. Now there's something that is giving me a spot of bother. It will be the Fourth of July and that new guy has definite political leanings and so he’s going to have strong political views as well. Now Donna is not known as a woman who will take his views lying down if they are against her ideas. She would not spare a debate with him even if he is an invited guest. So I am apprehensive: hope this little fun get-together doesn't turn around to be a huge political brouhaha.
To add to the fun, Donna's planning for a great Fourth of July BBQ on the beach. It's really going to be fun, fun and fun! After all, having a cold one in your hand, on the beach, while you feast on fried clams, lobsters, and corn on the cob is my idea of celebrating July Fourth the best way. Lets hope it stays that way!
Chocolate Day [Jul 7]
If you know Megan, it goes without saying that you know her catastrophic attempts in the kitchen. I have been at the receiving end of many culinary delicacies that she managed to turn into culinary disasters. The latest was her foiled attempt to pull off a chocolate cake. It was a sort of rehearsal that she wanted to carry out before she could rustle up a proper chocolate cake on Chocolate Day.
Who else will pick to taste her brave effort, but me! She landed up at my place one fine morning with a big brown paper bag. I wasn't really sure of what I was seeing because I was still groggy. She was thrilled about how she had been at it since the wee hours of the morning so that I get to have it for breakfast. God bless her effort and save me from that effort! There was also a spoon that came in the bag (she had prepared for everything so I didn't have any excuse to give the slip!) then out came the chocolate cake. Now, I realized the cake looked a shade darker than the normal 'Chocolate' color. I assumed it was just a dark chocolate cake.
May be it was my droopy eyes, I consoled myself. I was not that alert and was blank in the head. She carved out a largish piece and I opened my mouth, more out of boredom and lethargy than interest. Boy! The jolt it gave me! I wouldn't feel sleepy for the next light year! It was the most bitter thing I've tasted! I was right about the shade of the cake--it got burnt and the chocolate quotient was way over the top. I sat up straight and dashed for the water-bottle. Let's cut the scene here!
