Daily Notes- September 16th


I saw this in a catalog and I really like it.  If anyone knows how to write the "enquiry" for Google search let me know.  I don't even remember where the image came from on the internet.  Or was it in the catalog with the bed?  I think so.  That went out with Tuesday's recycling.  I think I tore the image out thinking I could make one.  I am always "thinking I could make one" it's imprinted in the DNA from my father's mother's side of the family.  Now, my grandmother would look at this photo and make me a jacket. No question.

I watered tomato boxes- there aren't many tomatoes- mostly the cherry types which are littering the driveway with dropped and half eaten tomatoes.  Squirrels and chipmunks.  The "Artisan" mix of plum shaped cherry tomatoes in yellow orange and deep wine red- are still very slow to ripen.  Odd, they get the most sun.  The Snow Whites are turning golden pale yellow when ripe.  I eat those as I pick them.  But I have made them into a Caprese Bowl for lunch a few times.

I made husband an apple cake with the second bag of Gala apples- the really small ones.  I think I prefer the Pink Lady apples for Apple Cake.  But he is happy with his new dessert.

I watched the two most recent You Tube episodes of Quarantine Quitchen  Alton Brown and his wife Elizabeth.  She is trying to get him to go to "therapy".  I think, from personal family experience, that he has alcoholic tendencies.  He does more drinking than cooking.  And they need someone to come in and wash dishes.  The kitchen is a filthy mess.  And the refrigerator should be condemned. I'm just saying..... and I know....no one asked for my opinion.

On the most currant episode they had lost power to the big kitchen and were in the living room using a waffle iron to cook all the thawing pizzas they had had in the fridge freezer.  All gluten free but with pepperoni.  And drinking.  Well, he was drinking.  Only one pizza made the cut.  I wasn't sure why they weren't using the grill out on the deck.  Well, last time- out on the deck- Alton was pretty damn drunk and it looked like he might start the next unit over on fire..... The next episode they were making some sort of Japanese pancake thing with squid, a mayo sauce and a ketchup sauce.  And Alton made a Japanese drink they both said tasted like "cupcakes".  Saki, Gin, bitters and a few other things.  Excuse any spelling errors.

The Anniversary went.  No dinner out (COVID).  No gifts (I said NO GIFTS). No flowers.  No dinner.  I was going to make pizza but G ate his lunch at 6 or 7 pm.  So he had Apple Cake and coffee at 9pm and we called it for the day. I'll make pizza today- if....I can manage when husband eats lunch-- like before 4 pm.  But usually he says he's going to eat but then he doesn't until much later.  The only meal that takes place on Time everyday- is breakfast. The rest of the day......Time is not something that is recorded in Memory these days.  It's all sort of "IN and OUT".. And NAGGING is not something either of us enjoys.
