butter, y’all…or yinz, as the case may be
Unrelated to any anniversary activities, last night I made some strawberry honey butter because some strawberries that we got in our CSA box last week were on their last legs. When it was done, I shoved the rubber spatula into the husband’s face and said, “Taste.” He wrinkled up his nose and pushed his head back. “What is it?” I told him and he tentatively stuck his tongue out. “Ugh. It’s good but it’s like eating butter,” he said, like that was a bad thing. I don’t understand his logic.
We had some pretty impressive storms last night. The husband called me from this meeting he was attending in Squirrel Hill and said that things were teetering on apocalyptic over there and that there were reports of tornadoes in the area. Because I have awesome survival skills, I crossed my fingers that the power would stay on long enough for me to Google “what the fuck the do I do during a tornado?” then started furiously searching for a compass app on my iPhone so that I could determine which walls in my basement I needed to avoid. Don’t you want me around for your next natural disaster?
However, the clouds and activity, while notable, didn’t seem tornado-level. So I did the sensible thing and left my child alone in the house with any number of short-circuitable things and went outside and took pictures.
Video, because I like to provide a multimedia experience whenever possible:
Please note that I did not take this picture in black and white. That’s just how ominous it was.
Eeek!
On the upside, I won’t need to water my plants for a few days.

Awesome pictures. I actually enjoy a good storm. We didn’t get much in our part of PA though, other than rain and some wind.
By the way, I love houses with awnings!

It was pretty apocalyptic here, too, especially around 3am this morning.

I wanted to go out in the yard and lay down in the rain, but Dominic wasn’t going for that.
that strawberry butter sounds awesome!
