Ice Cream Days.
Today was Haircut Day. 10am. Cut it really short. Feels good. And not a lot of "product" gumming things up.
Then the Greenhouse next door where I worked for Ten Years. We had a small reunion out back behind the glass house-always a nice breeze there. No red marigolds. Lots of yellow ones. But then one of the gals working pointed to a new table of orange ones. I bought orange. I already have lots of yellow.
Then the Library and new books by two favorite authors and two Old Old Favorites. Bet Me and Agnes and the Hitman by Crusie. I am going to order those two at the Gulf of Maine bookstore if they come in Trade paper. I am preparing for when I can't drive and -sigh- have to wait for someone to take me to the library. When I am older. I am taking a "long shot bet" that I will still have my VISION and be able to read books. The Bargaining Stage.
Hot dogs are finished. I have two "prepared meals" from the Grocery Cooler. Meat Loaf, Mashed Potatoes and a good sized portion of Broccoli in each container. I am reminded of buying and eating them the previous year of COVID. Next up will be the Tucci Vegetable Pasta. I have cans of diced tomatoes to use with the onion, celery and carrot. Fall back is Pancakes. I didn't buy Bread. Trying NOT to buy Bread. And I have Cherries. And a tub of Vanilla Noosa yogurt to go with the Cherries. I also bought Romaine Lettuce for a big salad with Carrots and BBQ Pork. And Cheddar cheese.
I am making an Index card with these meal ideas. Sticking it to the cabinet. To remind me.
Sigh. Soon we'll be eating fresh Mozzarella and Tomatoes with Basil leaves. Sweet Corn. I am thinking of Food today.......getting my "ducks in a row' so to speak and take out choices are slim to none here and restaurant meals are a "thing of the past". Husband won't eat carry out. He just won't.
I wouldn't mind some Manicotti or Eggplant Parm from a favorite restaurant with a great side salad.
Now I have to go to the grocery store instead of sending Colin for the basics. I WANT tomato, mozzarella and basil. and cherries. and BREAD. etc.
ReplyDeletetomorrow.
have a hard time deciding what to eat lately. Thankfully, David is pretty inventive in the kitchen. See, if I had a quiche in the refrigerator, I would not have to even think about it!
ReplyDeleteI got off of my sun-dried tomato, bread, and balsamic vinegar kick, and have not eaten my radishes. I need to eat those!
Joanne, I read your blog all of the time, still but almost never comment, sorry about that. Like you, I am an avid reader and heavy library user. And while I love the feel of a book in my hands, I’d like to make a pitch f for you to consider a Kindle. Most libraries have a ton of ebooks now, and you can use an app called Libby to reserve them and then send them to your kindle. You can also adjust the font size and boldness and line spacing to accommodate vision changes. So if you are looking ahead to a time when your vision could get worse and you cannot drive to get to the library, a Kindle and the Library app will give you back your reading freedom, Abe give you even wider access than you have had.
ReplyDeleteI also use the Amazon wishlist to put books there when I want to read them, and then every once in a while I use the “sort by price lowest to highest” to see what I can get for $1.99 or so.
I didn’t go to my local library at all during Covid but read steadily via ebooks.
Anyway, thanks for the daily updates. You have inspired me to start blogging again, we’ll see how it goes.
