summer dinner

I make damn good stir fry. Yeah, I know it's not hard to do, but man do fresh summertime ingredients make a difference. Tonight's version included linguini, carrots, red pepper, snap peas, broccoli, almonds, ginger, scallions, garlic, summer squash, green beans, cilantro and delicious peanut sauce. I told you it was good.That dish came after taking the dogs to the vet for their annual checkup, which leaves us all pretty wiped out. The good news is that the red welts on Memphis' belly are simply bug bites and that all the bloodwork is normal. The bad news is that after eight years of visits, the dogs are finally onto the vets not just being attentive strangers, and getting them to go near technicians with needles requires much more trickery.
