Stews, stewing complaints averted, surprisingly fun group sex…

So, it’s been a weird couple of weeks. Orpheus and I are still having trouble finding a place. Nothing has worked yet, but we remain hopeful. Last weekend, we bummed around my place, as Terra Firma was, for the second weekend in a row, in Chicago with her gf. It was nice. I made a huge helping of Gumbo Z’Herbes, which, other than being a little too mild, is a great first attempt. I used collard greens, kale, red cabbage, Belgian endive, green chard, and spinach, along with parsley and green onion as “green” seasonings. The prep was traditional, with a flour roux cooked in my trusty Le Creuset enameled skillet, adding the holy trinity (minced bell pepper, celery and onion) to cook in the finished roux, spicing, adding to the boiled chopped greens, then cooking down for a good long time. Delicious vegan lunches!

Anyway, last night, O. and I met an academic tourist in Madison for a conference out for a drink. I shall call him Adorkable, as adorkable he is! Things clicked, and we ended taking him back to Orpheus’ place and pounding him silly. It’s the first time I’ve gotten to really open up on a bottom in ages, as O’s still in a delicate learning place where that’s concerned. We had fun. Jesus, O and I even had more sex this morning before work. If I’m lucky, we’ll screw each other again tonight. Current plan is to meet Adorkable out again on Thursday before he goes back to his bright coastal educational beacon on the weekend. He was a hoot to hang out with, and also quite a team-player where top-top-bottom action is concerned. Hopefully, we’ll get to fuck if we see him again Thursday, but even if not, he’s just a nice all-round guy. If we’re really lucky, we may even stay in touch. ;-)
