Misfits and maybe tea on the deck

Misfits was a morning delivery today, Haleem, and the usual little spark of joy when the pink van arrives.

Quite small shop this week, because I'm shopping in the freezer better. Plenty of vegetables set up, prepped and frozen.

So here's cans for the food pantry. I've taken to buying the diced tomatoes with no salt added, seems better. And when there's a chance of a freebie, here the black beans, that gets added to the food pantry donation.

Bread flour to continue the baguette improvement caper, Bananaz because shakes, slices, bread, all purpose starch really.  Beautiful free range eggs and you can tell from the sturdy shells, firm yolks and general egginess. Brown sugar, all they had, usually I make it by adding molasses to cane sugar. Vital yogurt, which is also providing useful freezer containers. One loaf of lazy lady bread, while the baguette research lab work is done.

I may make tofu today, too. I have dipping sauce left from the tuna fritters, which I can use. And I'll rummage about in the freezer for accompanying vegs.

The ice block and flattened box are going to Gary each week until further notice. 

Today I may get to drink tea on the deck, yay! Warm this afternoon. I've still got layers, but fewer, feeling a bit cautious after freezing mornings recently.

And I have located myself in that half done sock. It's ready to start the toe, I find. So I'm hopeful that there's enough yarn to do a second sock. 

It's interesting to figure out what the first knitter did, in a pattern with three versions depending on yarn weight and several more depending on size. Especially when more than one number is circled in each category. I guess she knitted this before.  But I shall prevail. Or collaborate. 

Happy day everyone, breathe, and things become clear(er).
