Kiddie Pool Party

Today, Vince had kiddie pool party. They bought an inflatable kiddie pool and I think they intended to spend the day sitting in it, but I guess the water was too cold. Instead, they all sat around the kiddie pool, but Tim and I headed over to visit for a while. Gabe's girlfriend, Britt, just moved out here from Alabama, and she brought her dog out with her. The dog is a three year old mutt named Nova that is pretty cute and very friendly. Nova and Navi dashed around playing and play fighting with each other. We let them go because hopefully it tires them out and we don't have to play with them more tonight. Tim and I are going to show Britt the albany bulb sometime this week. She's unemployed so she can go anytime, and I think Navi and Nova will become very good friends. I like when they are both at the animal house because, with Penny, they seem to make the three bears kind of assembly. Navi is the big dog, Nova is a bit smaller, Penny is tiny, and they are all so fuzzy and sweet.

I guess someone gave Vince a Heineken mini keg with a broken tap, so they spent a while trying to open it some other way. After hammering nails through the bottom, they managed to open it up enough to get the beer out. When they were pouring, some of the beer would run down to the bottom of the keg and drip all over the ground. Navi figured it out, and had some fun drinking beer that she probably figured mysteriously appeared from the air. After initially laughing at the spectacle, we started to catch the other drip of beer with a second cup, so no more beer for doggy. After a while, I got bored with the party because I can never follow everything that goes on, so I headed a few blocks away to look around anthropologie sale racks, and buy some more plum flavored sake from the warehouse. When I got back to Vince's, Tim was ready to go home, so we headed home to make dinner. I made calzones with lots of mozzarella cheese, green peppers, onions, and sausage for Tim! He must be in heaven since he's had three calzones in the last two weeks. I also made some italian flat bread with rosemary on top. The calzones were my favorite of the three kinds I've made so far, but Tim still likes the fancy schmancy kind that takes forever to make the most. Oh well. I guess I can content him with these, and make the fancy kind once in a while. The bread was good, but slightly bland. If you ate it with pasta sauce, it was delicious. There is another recipe for the flat bread with red bell peppers and onions on top. I am itching to try that recipe because when they make it in italian restaurants, I can't stop eating it even if it means I can't eat my meal when it comes. That's why I don't like italian restaurants. I like the bread so much that I eat it all, and then when my meal comes I simply cannot eat another bite.
