Life is Good!
OK, I'm officially pumped.
Part of my euphoria is directly related to the sugar rush from the recent consumption of an "Aunt Sally's Original Creole Praline" (hand delivered to me by a friend who spent last week in New Orleans). Take that, Dr. Atkins!
Another contributing factor is that I successfully installed and fired-up mySQL on my PowerBook and I can now (theoretically) create and test database-driven websites anyplace I can carry my laptop. Is that geek heaven or what?
Also, Jasmine made it home safely last night, after almost two months in Asia. I'm looking forward to hearing more about her adventures, and I hope she'll be sharing some of them with you via the Gazette. (She's got about a zillion things to attend to right now, I'm sure, so give her a little settling-down time.)
And, finally, it's Friday afternoon and I've already mowed the lawn. I can't think of anything that might improve things, except for...yes, there it is...a little dog that just ambled up for some ear scratching.
Life is good.
I'm not even a big praline fan, but every now and then, there's just nothing like a big clump of brown sugar used as a pecan delivery mechanism!
You should taste my wife's toasted spiced pecan halves, though. I could eat 'em until I'm sick. Well, come to think of it...

Why is it, that whenever you post about food, I start drooling? Pralines. . . Yumm! My Maw Maw has a wonderful recipe for them, and I loved watching her make them when I was a child. I had my MIL bring me pecans and brown sugar when she visited last year--I've been hoarding them for just the right occasion for making pralines. (And a pecan pie. . .)
