elaby | Lammas and art (Reply)

Yesterday was Lammas :) Also Lughnasadh. I like Lammas because it's Saxon, involves bread, and is easier to pronounce. It comes from hlaf mass loaf mass in Old English, and I remember hlaf from OE class :3 Hlaford! The explanation on my "Forgotten English" calendar says it comes from "lamb mass" but I like the bread connection better.

Anyway,

caitirin and I went to Tuttle's after work and bought small slices of various kinds of cheese (English Cotswald, Irish Cheddar, Brie, and Gouda), some bread rolls, flatbread crackers, and Wasa crackers. I wasn't too thrilled with the flatbread crackers, as they had some kind of really bitter herb on them, but the Wasa crackers were SO GOOD and they have enough fiber and no fat that one of them is free o_o and they're, like, two inches by four inches and they're YUMMY. We also had sauteed zucchini and summer squash with parmesan cheese :)

Pictures!

My wife is so beeyoutiful ^_^

Also, I drew a picture! Not for Lammas XD When I listen to YUKI (or Judy and Mary, since it's the same singer), I have a little character in my head who has her voice and sings the songs. Here she is :3

OMG, color! I know. And it's even real life color. Prismacolor pencils :3 The old kind that make the dust and blend well! I have another kind that are supposed to give really good lines, and they do, but they don't blend so awesome. Her hair is a GREAT deal more orange in the original, too *glares at scanner*
