Why goatygoat?

Why goatygoat?? The question is, why not goatygoat? Goatygoat is a spring in your step, a roll in the grass, and a tin can for dinner. Goatygoat enjoys candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. Goatygoat lives in the now! Goatygoat is all this, and more.

Hummingbird Feeder

I got this as a gift from Olivia for my bridal shower in Minnesota. Or, rather, Ollie took the time to hop online and find a boutique in my town, so I wouldn’t have to carry anything back on the plane. This is what I picked out with her gift certificate.

It’s made of recycled glass, and the birds love it!

Heirloom Tomatoes

I love these lumpy, discolored tomatoes more than just about any other foodstuff on earth, with the possible exception of soft, stinky cheese. More on that later. These tomatoes taste like tomatoes are supposed to…acidic, tangy, with a finish of earthiness that makes me think of childhood. Also, they’re pretty, which is more than can be said for the mealy pink tasteless circles of tomato that you get on your Big Mac.

Plastic Yard Flamingos

Our neighbor’s kid takes pleasure in rearranging them a few times a week, so I never know where they’ll be when I open the front gate. We’ll probably never live in another neighborhood where it’s acceptable, downright encouraged, to have a yard full of the ‘mingos, so it’s now or never for the Mingos Dynasty.

Soft, Stinky Cheese

Seastack2_1.jpgSeastack from Mt. Townsend Creamery is where it’s at, kids. This stuff has a vegetable ash rind, a very smooth liquidy first layer, and an earthy-tasting inner cheese that’s to die for. Even Randy, man-who-likes-few-cheeses, asks for this one.

Goatymom is coming to Washington!

DateThursday, July 2, 2009 at 12:55PM

I’m super excited! I get to pick her up from the airport tonight at 8:30, and then we have five uninterrupted days of awesomeness ahead of us.

There will be sushi, there will be hiking, there will be a bike ride or three. There will be thrift stores.

Oh yes, there will be thrift stores.

I’m so stoked to see her! It’s been over a year since she’s been here, and in that time we’ve removed the nasty pink carpet from the trailer, and added a beautiful front porch and some plants. “Beautiful” being in the eye of the beholder, remember.

So as is customary when we see each other nowadays, we had our phone call yesterday morning:

“So, mom, whatcha doin’ tomorrow night?”

“Oh, I don’t know. No plans, really. Why do you ask?”

“Well, you wanna come over for dinner? Maybe spend a few days?”

“Yeah! That sounds like a great time!”

Of course, the airplane tickets were purchased long ago, and this is nowhere near a surprise, but I look forward to this conversation every time we get together.

Look forward to photos!
