Landlord had my house re-carpeted on Thursday. Only 2 rooms and a walk in closet; I live in a small 100 year old bungalow. Still a big job, though. And it was really needed.
5 friends, neighbors and family helped move everything out to the front yard while the carpet guys did the job. Then helped move it all back in. Including a 20 gallon aquarium...which got emptied, cleaned and re-filled (fish are fine).
Was interesting to see all my furniture on the front court yard. Crossed my mind that I'd be OK setting up house on the lawn. Sleep out there at times, as it is...LOL.
I had the opportunity to whittle stuff down to what I actually use, recycle some stuff, give some things away.
It's like I just moved in. So...I'm thinking a middle eastern take-out. Lots of small dishes and baklava to finish.
Enjoy your dinner and your baclava (yum!).
And the baklava is homemade down the street at a Lebanese deli... Fresh, sweet, comes with a demitasse of kicker coffee while you wait for your order. I'm calling ahead, taking a walk and bringing the meal home for an Olympic evening.
Well, at least at this moment.
I am glued to it!
Enjoy.
Just a couple, though, as my BFF invited me over later. Spouse out of town on business.
At 9 we're going to drink wine and have appetizers--chicken roll-ups and coconut shrimp. I'm taking an Asian eggplant dish I made. And watch that hilarious show I may have mentioned on this thread: Bad Dog. It's on at 9 est on Animal Planet.
Pinto, congratulations! That sounds lovely--new carpet, clear out clutter, and middle eastern food.

(aside) The avo crop is incredible this year. At supermarkets, farmers' markets and neighbor's trees. They cycle, iirc. Good yield years, poor years.
