Saturday in the Middle of Nowhere

I am so lazy that sometimes I amaze even myself.

I went into Dwingeloo again today because I thought there was a market. Turns out that's tomorrow. But while there I figured I'd wander around again. I found the most amazing little new age shop just across the street from the discount grocer. There was some beautiful jewelry- I've got my eye on a ring that might take me the whole summer to save up for (or longer). The two ladies working there were amazingly kind. One spoke English very well, though the other spoke more haltingly. We chatted about where the owner got her jewelry (India, mostly. Though there were some awesome contributions from Egypt, Norway, and of course there were some local Dutch creations.) The store had a pet cat as well, whom I lavished some love on. If I ever own a store, it will have a pet. It also decided me that I will get a cat where ever it is I end up for grad school.

My butt is so sore from all the biking I've done lately that the thought of going anywhere besides town today is highly unappealing. So at a loss for things to do, I have surfed the web (stumbleupon.com) and watched Under the Tuscan Sun in snip-its as it very slowly streams to me. It's 6:30pm, though with how high the sun is you could've told me it was 2 and I'd have believed you. My stomach is starting to grumble (or is that the boredom?) and I want to make something good for dinner but I'm at a loss of what to put together. So, for all of you faithful blog followers, I challenge you to think up some easy dinners that I can make with a basic pantry while I'm here. There usually always some fresh veggies and fruit and stuff. And there's ground beef and chicken and even some fish. But no pasta suggestions- if I ate as much pasta as they keep the kitchen stocked up with I'd get fat. If I could somehow convince myself to not eat whatever I want whenever I want I might actually get fit(er) this summer. Now there's a novel idea.
