Daily Notes- May 11th- Cloudy with a Chance of Rain


 Every so often one of the food people  (in my computer in box) sends me a great photo of food.   I don't know where this one came from...but if this plate was set in front of me at supper time--- I would be a very happy woman. Roasted cherry tomatoes is something I love. I no longer get the Bon Appetite feed in my computer mail box.  I stopped my magazine subscription.  They sent me amazing pictures.

But I have never used any of their recipes to make any food.

On Monday..I purchased two  cans of whole cherry tomatoes.  And a package of meatless meat balls in the frozen food case that also held African Frozen Vegetables.  Sweet potato leaves etc.  That frozen food case holds an assortment of strange items most weeks.  But Monday I stopped to read all the package labels.  And noticed the meatballs.  I also bought Korean dumplings.  The package said they contained cabbage.  You all know I love cabbage.  Well...you do now.  It's in my DNA.

Will I cook today?  Don't know yet.  I might.  The sun just broke thru and usually I don't cook on sunny days.  On sunny days--- a sandwich is good enough. The past few days it's been inches high with romaine lettuce, then mayo and Swiss cheese.  Gigantic sandwich.  Still too chilly in the house for a bowl of salad.

I worked on another of those little rectangle cloths.  I now have five finished and this new sixth one.  The new one needs a backing fabric and a button and so far none of the ones I tried is good enough. I'm thinking these little cloths could be mounted on board or card stock.  Sent to people or just be looked at...by me. They all have many tiny stitches which feel lovely to run your fingers over.

I noticed I have enough clothing in the basket to do another wash.  And Sunday I managed to find two of the Morning Pages notebooks at Staples and bought them- they were way more expensive than I remembered.  Staples did not have my Pilot Precise V7 rolling ball black pens.  They had blue.  But I do not like blue ink.  I like black ink on smooth white pages with college rule lines.
