Just in time for Friday, I've discovered the Friday Five...
 

 
1. Name five things in your refrigerator:

• bottled sparkling water

• Yali pears from the farmer's market

• ginger salad dressing I made from the Benihana recipe located for me by Charles

• a little bit more leftover soup

• a Brita water filter which we now never use because we are addicted to sparkling water

 

 
2. Name five things in your freezer:

• Tater-tots

• frozen peas because one week I got an enormous bag of English shelling peas at the farmer's market and I couldn't finish them all, so I shelled them and froze them (we used a bunch for our veggie pot pie but we still have a bunch left)

• leftover torte from our housewarming party

• vodka for screwdrivers

• several full ice cube trays, which I tease Matthew about because he likes to refill them if he uses any ice cubes at all, so we don't need even two trays

 

 
3. Name five things under your kitchen sink:

• a spray bottle with water and bleach in it Tater-tots

• a can of Comet which Matthew bought even though i told him I didn't want any P&G products in the house

• rubber gloves (I had to go look to see what else was there)

• empty space (we moved in in July, so we haven't accumulated too much nonsense yet)

• a stain that was there when we moved in that I haven't tried cleaning yet

 

 
4. Name five things things around your computer:

• my computer is with me on the couch, so I have bottled water nearby

• the telephone, which Matthew left near me so I wouldn't have to get up when he called

• the remotes for the stereo and DVD player, which are currently busy showing True Sotires (1986)

• the USB cord to download digital photos to the computer

• my nail file and Matthew's clippers, because I trimmed my nails tonight

 

 
5. How do you plan to spend your weekend?

Normally matthew and I would take a yoga class and then on Sunday we would go to Jack London Square to see a movie and buy produce at the farmer's market. But we are both taking the week off next week, so this weekend we will be driving down to LA. We haven't decided if we will take the 1, 101, or the 5, nor if we will do it in one shot or stay at a hotel along the way.
