I wrote about underwear. Sorry, folks!, especially Mom and Jim.
The humidity is down considerably so even 88 degrees is amenable. I so look forward to being able to open the windows at night over the weekend and let in some fresh air while airing out cooking odors over the past hot and humid months.
We still see people buying ice to keep food cold. People we know still don’t have power. Some don’t have roofs anymore. Our thoughts are with everyone who weathered this catastrophe, especially those without power or homes.
While I await news on Mom I am doing regular chores (laundry, shopping, drycleaning, cleaning house) and look forward to perhaps seeing a movie this weekend. Pretend everything is OK and we’re just having a regular weekend. Jim and I, and Zoe (who gets a frozen peanut butter Kong when we leave her in her crate) will enjoy a couple hours of normalcy.
Wishing you a calm and pleasant weekend. Dee
ps Oh, I found pinhead oats for Cranachan! Perhaps I’ll make it as a weekend treat. Check out my recipes from Scottish Council! I’m excited to try this one. Cheers to the Scots! We’ll raise at least a Tennants in your honor.
So this is Jim’s preferred Scots breakfast. Most things I could get around the corner, but the thin proscuitto that substituted for “streaky bacon” I had to walk 1/2 mile for. Castle Doune, known to anyone with a Monty Python bent. It was six castles, including Anthrax, of seven in the Holy Grail. Last is Roslyn Chapel. Due to its interior carvings it is an architectural marvel.
