Are you ready?

[Aww this never got published?]

For the best day ever?!!?

Just went on a long hike with my old roommate along dusty trails, past thick bushes hiding bunnies, in front of a grazing deer, under a sky painted in fading majestic colors, over grassy hills like something from a children's fairytale with capes tied around our necks holding jars of fireflies for light to lead the way, along the small pond that was a potential marriage proposal location, outstretched hands brushing skinny yellow stalks as we walked, on the concrete sidewalks, to the car, over freeways to Sprouts leaving with bags filled with summer corn and other produce, down the street to Target, pushing a shopping cart down the Asian aisle to reach the last key ingredient.

Sweet chilli sauce.

You know where this is going right?

We made Jean's corn salsa.

It takes about a day for the flavors to mingle, get comfortable with each other and start absorbing each others tastes. By tomorrow they will be finishing each other's sentences, indistinguishable, one bowl of awesomeness to accompany lime sea salt tortilla chips.

And it will be the best day ever.
(Although, today was pretty great already.)
