    Mr. Poe's out of town again which gives me the sads.  I didn't do much all weekend.  I don't understand why I don't even do thing that I normally do without him while he's out of town but I tend to hunker down in the study with the dogs and watch movies the whole time.  I had yet another cold all last week and took Muni in to work until Friday but I'm back to commuting on my bike and I'm finally feeling better.  I had Nathan over for dinner on Monday night which was lots of fun.  I devised a Texas comfort food menu of frito pie, mesclun salad with green chili and tomatillo salsa vinagrette and cebolittas.  Nathan had never had frito pie before and was dazzled by the intersection of junk food and actual food.

    Frito Pie!  Take a bunch of fritos and put them in a bowl.  I used scoops but I think regular fritos are better because the scoops are too thick and never get gooey.  Cover the fritos with a chili of your choice.  Make sure it's very hot because it needs to be hot enough to melt the cheese which you put on top of it.  Then goes on raw onion and a big dollop of sour cream.  Mine didn't have any dairy on it but Nathan's looked spectacular:

    Ashley Jr. sat in his chair and guarded his dinner:

    After he finally ate it he came out on the porch to give Nathan the business:

    Nathan left around nine and I was sleeping by ten.  It was a long day.
