SUPPER CLUB - Thursday, June 22nd
Posted: Thu Jun 22, 2023 3:42 am
Good morning,
No sleeping tonite. Bill had his phone by the bed for the alarm. He had to get up at 0345 to finish his test prep and Antonio sent us a batch of baby pictures which set the phone off about 0100. And now I'm awake and up. The dog is barking at something - probably another critter going through the yard - and the cat is meowing because he wants me to go watch him eat (yes, that's what cat's do. They like someone to watch them eat.) I'm sure later today Bill will want a nap and maybe I'll join him.
Yesterday I cleaned my sewing room and as I went, I gathered up a few small projects I want to get done: two grocery totes, a wall hanging, my HSH swap blocks, and that ding dang shirt. These should keep me busy and off the streets for a while. Today, while sitting in the waiting room for two hours, I will do some hand embroidery on my OWL blocks. The weather is turning nice, starting today so it's time to get back to the yard work and also to wash bedding and dry the sheets on the line which I think I'll do tomorrow. So I have plenty to keep me from sitting for the rest of the week and weekend.
CAROL - your soups all sound delicious. We both love homemade soups here. People consider them a winter dish, but I like them all year long. Soups are a nice light meal, just right for summer evenings in my opinion. Your farro garden veggie salad also sounds interesting and tasty. Beets and zucchini aside, I love veggies. And even pickled beets are good and zucchini, too, if left raw or just diced and lightly saute'd.
BECCA - I guess 40' isn't too far to go with a light load of laundry. I hope your machines aren't coin-operated, but more like a homey laundry room. Nice to have supper with Alex & family. How far away are they from you? And what did you have?
JANA - Ooooh.... let me know when the next gnocchi/gorgonzola night is - I'll be there! But hold the pinkies!!
TINA - What other projects are you working on right now besides OWL? I've forgotten. Naughty Duncan, eating the walls! Has he always done this? And you know, if that room is the coolest in the house - the 'downstairs', right? - I think I'd make that my sewing room! Or is your sewing room comfy now since you got A/C? And with the temps you are having, aren't you glad you got that A/C!
Well, since I'm up, my boys think they should be eating breakfast and have been pestering me. But if I cave in and feed them, it only takes once and they'll be expecting midnight snacks every night plus wanting to eat again at 0500. We walk a fine line here with these two.
Bill will be looking forward to a nice supper tonite so we'll have our leftover chicken with rice pilaf and a salad. I've missed salads. We usually have them at least 5 nights a week and I start to crave green things after a day or two.
What are you having tonite?
