Yesterday was a lovely day, breathable air, warm and, later, a shower to settle the pollen and clean the air. I sat on the deck and watched fledglings.
Two little downy woodpeckers wambling about more or less catching insects on the trees, house sparrows dancing and chasing. Watching them learn to catch their own food. I've been hearing woodpecker calls a lot recent, so now I see the family out.
I finished the current weaving
Fred Bear and Ursula guarding the three panels and one pocket.
I really need to take a few days to let my neck heal before I warp up again. But it's fine, plenty of other things to enjoy.
Yesterday I did a bit of Freecycle
Handsome Partner's London Fog coat, which he wore for years, then I did. But now I'm shorter and smaller all over and it swamps me. So it's moving on. He used to look so handsome in it, back when he was walking.
It's still in great condition, too. A bit better than mine, come to think of it. Nah, I'm good.
And recently food has been interesting. Here's a great spicy tuna/cilantro with jasmine rice and dessert
And yesterday I made a really great spaghetti sauce, the one with plenty of onions and butter and turmeric, good quality canned tomatoes, simmered for ages.
no
Best parmesan grated, peppers to shake over, best spaghetti, as my Mom would say, all good ingredients. Simple food made with the best ingredients I can afford.
It's a lot of pasta, but after a couple of days' main events, it will be a side for the chicken I'm roasting today, marinated with garlic and yogurt overnight.
This sauce is great, the original recipe being to simmer a whole onion, then, the original famous cook said to THROW AWAY the onion. That's why I'm not naming her, the vandal. Throw away beautiful food ? Never.
But the butter idea is great, I'll give her that.
Happy day everyone, are you coming up with cool puzzle clues?
