Things I will do when I’m off these damn crutches.
Princess Kurt 1995 – by Elizabeth Peyton
I’m in the home stretch. Twelve more days. I think I’m going to make it. I’m coasting on the fumes of wishful thinking and the kindness of others. In no particular order, these are things I have promised my children, promised myself and to which I am clinging, tooth and nail, for Twelve. More. Days.
1. Tie dye t-shirts with my monkeys.
2. Find a recipe for egg drop soup and make it with Supergirl.
3. Go see the Elizabeth Peyton Exhibit at the Walker.
4. Go shopping and buy something freaking fabulous.
5. Farmers markets every weekend.
6. Take the Red Betty and the Bony Finger out on a bike date with Doctor Dash.
7. Go to Shoe Zoo and buy my kids some decent shoes. We will undoubtedly walk out of there with three pairs of Crocs, but also, hopefully, some cute sandals.
8. Go to Cooks of Crocus Hill and buy a juicer (preferably not electric), buy a ton of limes, and make margaritas with all the delicious tequila my sweet friends left on the front porch that scary, sleety Sunday before my knee surgery.
9. Put on a pair of heels and go see New Congress with my betties and anyone else who loves me and who’s up for a ripper on a Thursday night.
10. Put on a pair of Chucks and go to a show at First Ave. (Tickets for Santogold May 28 and Matisyahu July 1 are in hand).
11. Cook a feast, possibly in connection with no. 8.
12. Design and plant a shade garden in Melancholy Corner (it’s a spot of the back yard that gets no sun and just plain gives me and Dash the heeby jeebies).
13. Plant my window boxes.
14. Walk around my lovely Harriet.
15. Unplug.

Happy Mama’s Day! I’m thinking of you and all the other babo-mamas. I’ve been in a #8 kick, and recently got my favorite kitchen gadget:

It may work for you. The orange is too big for limes, and the lime too big for oranges.

I meant this: the lime is too little for lemons and the orange too big for limes. But, to be totally utilitarian and stick to one utensil, the orange is fine as it will squeeze about 90% of the lime’s juice (and 93% of the lemon, depending on the size).

Tartare – I thought you were writing a citrus haiku or a logic question for the SAT. I think I follow, but perhaps you just need to come visit so I don’t fuck up and buy the wrong kind of juicer and spend the rest of my life muttering about my melons, er, lemons being too small.
