Yesterday's mood improved dramatically after I made and sampled a lovely shakshouka. The original recipe in Meghan's Grenfell cookbook, involves bell peppers which I never have.
But I used spinach and lentil sprouts, and got a terrific result.
The flatbread is essential, to help get all the sauce. And there's enough for two more meals.

The investment company returned my Twitter dm, asking for a phone call because my question was so account specific, I sighed, been there before.
Kyle, probably a third grader, defensively stonewalling. Unless you can surmise the answer and formulate the question to fit it, they're useless. I think people in the financial world are deeply passive aggressive!
So I tried again, saying this is not account specific, and did they void the checks when they switched management to brokerage style? Basically my original question reworded.
This time Debbie, it's always a woman who actually reads the question and answers it, when the men are claiming nobody can help, answered saying yes.
The old checks need to be destroyed, and I need to apply for new updated check writing arrangements. So if you can guess the answer, you'll get a confirmation. If you can't fathom it, they'll never help.
I'll destroy the old checks and go from there.
In other news, I heard back from both fridge retailers I've used and been pleased with in the past. They're out of stock, of anything in the size I need. Earliest availability will be late September.
One other retailer I tried refuses to deliver, curbside pickup only, meaning they won't take away the old one either. So I hope the current fridge keeps limping along till I can replace it. Oh well.
The robe's coming along though. Just as well, because here's where we are
Good weather for a new lightweight robe and sun tea.
Happy day, everyone! Keep your cool, in all senses.
