Weekend Experiments

Our backyard bunny went away for a couple of days, and we were starting to worry about it a little. Luckily, it came back and has been eating a swath through our flower bed. It's dug itself quite a sizeable bald spot in the rock plants, and it's slowly moving its nap spot towards the edge of the bed as it cleans out edible things within its immediate reach. For something that's mostly immobile, Bosworth II is surprisingly entertaining.

We tried making pasta with roasted vegetables today, but I left the veggies in the oven a touch too long, and they came out a little too burnt. Tomatoes are moist, so they fared all right, but we had heavy pepper and onion casualties. It's too bad, because the un-charred bits were quite tasty. I'll have to keep a closer eye on them next time.

The switch plate on our bathroom light switch cracked in half, and we finally got around to replacing it today. We got a brushed-brass plate that looks really good and seems to resist fingerprints. It looks so good that NB wants to replace all our switch plates now.

Other than that, the sunroom is still waiting on parts, and I'm going to continue experimenting with new recipes by attempting a pork roast tomorrow. With any luck, it will be tender and tasty rather than slightly charred.
