Pictures From My Life- February 3


Another piece of kitchen equipment from my first year of being married.  That 8 inch square baking pan.  I made cakes and corn bread in it.  And anything else that needed baking.  Nothing else in the picture is more than 10 years old.  Glass breaks.

Today I was baking another pan of cornbread from the recipe I got at the Grist Mill in Illinois on a school field trip.  Gifted Third Grade.  Rough bunch.  They thought they knew everything--and usually they were correct.  And the recipe was fantastic as was the corn meal.

My daughter was back--to have more cobalt blue dye added to her hair.  Last time we didn't get enough blue.  This time I had her lay on the dining room floor (with my painting drop cloth under her head) while I painted the dye on the ends of her long hair.  Then we set the timer and settled in to have a 75 minute chat.  Riley was concerned.  Hasn't ever seen someone on the floor.  Wondered about it.

There's enough dye for one more try.  I may just be too old to understand this new thing.

Tomorrow is the big game.  Nachos.  Perhaps alcoholic beverages.

Luckily the game starts later in the afternoon, so I can visit Goodwill for one dollar day.

Watched two episodes of the Alienist.  Very odd.  I was trying to guess which Roosevelt was Police Commissioner.  I thought it was Theodore.  Then someone walked past him and said T.R. as a greeting and I high fived myself.  Teddy, it was.  Very dark.  Very dark.  I can't imagine what life was like back in those days.  And, of course, there is graphic everything from sex to murder to just plain disgusting stuff-- TNT.  Good Behavior was like this.  All the letters being used on the warnings. S.V.N.L.  And then.....you can also choose the "explicit" version on Xfinity which all that-plus. I don't know if we will continue watching.

G started and finished his new series-book one.  He loved it.  Sue Harrison's series of three. I hurried to order book 2.
