Dinnerz

Tonight I had a REAL Italian dinner cooked by a REAL Italian using REAL Italian ingredients! Of course, it was really good. Haven't had something so delicious in ages - it had actual flavors. The chef was a visiting student whom I am assisting with DGT (water chemistry stuff). She is not enjoying the English summer, as it has rained for almost 2 weeks now, almost daily. I admitted I was very ready to be in the 90 degree heat of the USA. When I got home I poured salt on the slugs that were eating my bean plant. It was 11pm. Then I fed small pieces of carrot to the other slugs and snails that were oozing around the patio.
