Field Notes- Sunday July 17th. Sunshine and the 80's.

 Something to make with the zucchini in the fridge.  A recipe in my emails. And something very dangerous to do- thin slicing with the mandoline.  Sharp, razor thin blade.  Easy enough to slice the skin off your finger tips as well as a thin slice of zucchini..

I bought a jar of marinara sauce last week..  And I have some shredded mozzarella.  And Parmesan. Sounds like dinner. For me.  Just me.

Husband is watering the garden.  I gave him a few items I found in the garage.  I think I got him confused. Too many sprinklers and other things.   He'll come in soon to ask me what they are....again.

Read-- If The Shoe Fits- A Cinderella type story about one of those series on TV- 24 women and one man.  Dates and getting sent home.  Cindy (see you don't even have to wonder what is happening) is a recent Fashion School graduate (Parsons in NYC) interested in designing shoes.  Her step mother is the Producer of the TV Show in California.  Cindy is plus sized. She has also met "The Guy" for the show on the plane from NYC.  He changes seats with the guy she is sitting next to.....  so he can talk to her.  Imagine what she has to put up with the the other women........It gets hurtful pretty damn fast.

Today I am reading the No -Show by Beth O'Leary.   I've read her other  books- The Flat Share, The Road Trip and The Switch.  I liked the Flat Share.  I didn't care for the Road Trip and the Switch was sort of half and half. All the books have a secondary theme.  In the Flat Share the girl is being gaslighted by her former boyfriend.  The Road Trip- former partners are forced to share a car on a trip to a wedding.  The Switch is when a mother and daughter switch homes- and lives it turns out.  The No Show is a guy who no-shows three different women on Valentine's Day.  

I might, possibly, read something else.  I got the laundry done yesterday.  We now have clean underwear, tee shirts. socks and dish towels. I took the "chest pockets" (wow) off a ladies LLBean linen blouse and used the fabric of one pocket to mend a worn thru hole in a Vintage Camp Shirt.  Also LLBean.  I wear Linen Camp Shirts all Summer. I used to be able to score at least one or two every year at Goodwill.  But not any more.  They re-invented the shirt a few years back.....shortened the sleeves and added side darts to the classic box shaped shirt. Ruined it.  Just like they ruined the Classic Corduroy Pants I live in the Seasons that it isn't Summer.
