There is no fire family dinner today, because they canceled for Father's Day. Everyone is home with their fathers, giving them ties and gifts from Home Depot. We are home today too, but not with a father. I paid bills this morning, explaining to Danielle as I went to enter each amount. We cleaned the bathroom and got yelled at for singing It's a Hardknock Life too loudly. There was food shopping and a few peaches may have been stolen. And maybe a container of blueberries also. When we got home Alex was thirsty and in her hurry, spilled water all over the floor. Rather than waste paper towels, I hurried to empty the shopping bags and then used them to absorb the water.
Meat that was half-off got marinated and I cooked it in the frying pan before wrapping lettuce leafs around it. I overheard people on the train talking about lettuce wraps which was why I tried it, but I must have done it wrong. Didn't really taste very good. Later I will look up how they are made to figure out how it's really supposed to come out.
At the supermarket the cashier said, "So you girls making a special Father's Day dinner for your dad?" We stared at her blankly - she must not be a native New Yorker. A real New Yorker would never ask that.

lettuce wraps sounds good ... i only know the asian (i think korean) version of this. stir-fried beef with some asian-style barbecue sauce, wrapped in lettuce leaves. my boyfriend loves it.
i hope those peaches were good. i think i ate more than 2 pounds of peaches last week - got them at the street market cheap. that's a good trick about my street market here - rather than taking the stuff back home the vendors sell it for sometimes half the price around noon.
