I was NOT riding with said terrifying driver. I was minding my own business, driving home from contra dancing, enjoying the echoes of contra dancing music, and this fellow shows up behind me. Well, first he showed up beside me and blared obnoxious and offensive music for the duration of a red light, and then he didn't take the chance to get in front of me when the road merged, even though I gave him one, and then he proceeded to race through lights after me. I was going through on questionable yellow lights (they were pretty questionable. It's fast for a residential-ish road, and while usual Philadelphia protocol is 'yellow means go faster,' I would have been the second car through that yellow light); I'm pretty sure those lights were red by the time he got there. During the third block of this, I decided that I didn't want to drive the whole way back to East Mt. Airy racing through yellow lights b/c I was scared of being driven over by a giant SUV, so I slowed down enough that the light was definitely yellow before I got to it and I had time to stop in a reasonable manner. And the guy behind me swerved left into oncoming traffic to race through the light (without slowing down hardly at all), which was red before he even got to the intersection and sped off, leaving me sitting there shaking.
And then a rat ran across the road in front of me. In the normal course of things, a wild rat might elicit some surprise, perhaps even a small noise, but I had just used up my supply of surprise for the night, so I just thought very calmly, A rat just ran across the road in front of me. You'd better be glad, little buddy, that you weren't in that road half a second earlier.
So. Terrifying drivers are terrifying.

I have made more mozzarella. I think it just needed more salt (although using 2% instead of 1% probably helped, too), because this stuff is excellent. I used 2/5 of it in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
transversely's avocado, tomato, basil and mozzarella salad, which I think is my new favorite food.
Also on the topic of cheese, this week's Purple Passion goat cheese, while not purple, is very yummy.
