Monday, Monday

I had a lunch date today.  That was exciting.  Before leaving the house I did a bit of housekeeping and mixed up two batches of pizza dough.  The first with bread flour went into the trash.  The second worked out better and is having it's 24 hour "rest" in the fridge.   I also noticed the Kitchen Aid Mixer was in need of detailing.  So, I did that.  Then I sewed three buttons on a pair of pants that I will wear more often as the weather cools.   I think pants go to the Resale Shop when buttons fall off.

Lunch was lengthy, which was lovely, as we had a whole summer to catch up on.  I had wine and a dessert.  Ricotta cheesecake baked without a crust.  I got take out for G to have for dinner.

After lunch I got home, changed clothes and took Riley for a 3 mile walk.  In drizzle.  Now G has gotten home from work and he intends to take Riley for a walk off leash in the woods.  It's called "Wearing Out The Dog".  Riley is, as yet, unaware of the walk with G.  He may decide to extend his "regrets".

I am now going on line to see if I can watch last night's episode of Big Brother as the Tennis ran over and it wasn't on.  I also finished my eighth Cadfael book. I think there are 20 books in the series which should last out the summer.  I have book # 9 waiting on the book table.

That cheesecake sounds wonderful. Although I dislike sewing on buttons, I always feel so virtuous when I get a pile of mending done and those clothes back in rotation. :)

sewing on buttons is such a simple thing but I do the same as you. First they get tossed into a pile of things to get done(har). Then in a cleaning frenzy, I foget whay they are there and hang them back up-then I take them off the hangar thinking about why I haven't worn these pants in a while...sigh.. repeat, rinse, repeat

I really need to stop being such a forgetful dope!
Homemade pizza dough is so good-enjoy.

the pants could also go on a hanger although if I had a hangar I could really fill up that sucker.
