I was planning to go to sleep early last night but was foiled twice over. The first time because I insisted on staying up and making sure that I could get Phantom Hourglass and Skyward Sword--well, 夢幻の砂時計 and スカイウォードソード--working correctly through DeSmuMe and Dolphin, respectively. I originally tried NosGBA for Phantom Hourglass, but it had horrible screen tearing that would have made all the screenshots I took look like garbage, and while Skyward Sword booted up and gave me the proper warning messages, I can't really test it because I don't have the right setup. We have our old WiiMote, but not the WiiMotion Plus, and I haven't bought a USB Wii sensor bar yet since I'm just finishing up Oracle of Ages and still have a long road ahead of me.
And then when I finally lay down to go to sleep, the party that the people in the building next door were having was still going. Maybe they were celebrating the end of summer school, sinceschoolpsychnerd just finished her stint helping with summer school yesterday? I don't know. I was annoyed enough to look up the noise complaint procedure but not annoyed enough to actually call in, and when the rain started the party died down.
Chicken caprese with mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes. Kale on the right and a yellow zucchini/extra tomato with crisped basil salad on the left, both drizzled with homemade garlic chili oil. The kale, basil, and zucchini all came from the same vendor.
schoolpsychnerd spent some time talking about how she had always thought she didn't like tomatoes, but it turns out that America tomatoes mostly just taste like nothing. The smaller farmer's market heirloom tomatoes were amazing. Just bursting with flavor, especially after being roasted. 
Now I understand why ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nytesenvy's friend who lived in Brazil won't eat American fruit.
Apricots in butter, sugar, and with store-bought chopped almonds.schoolpsychnerd originally wanted to put some mascarpone on it, but the cheesemonger wasn't selling any so she gave up the idea. I wanted something without ice cream, and apricots was the idea I tossed off. I'm not as big a fan of apricots as I am of pears or apples, but these were good! I went back for seconds.
Tomorrow we're going out to the suburbs to visit my parents for a day and then my week-long vacation starts. We're going to go to the Museum of Contemporary Art to see an exhibit of Japanese art and probably going to go to a few restaurants that we've been wanting to get to for a while. And I'm going to play a ton of video games, of course.
Two more days!
