Sixty first. Stew. Fuel pump. Eligible. Saturday miscellany

Yesterday was my 61st wedding anniversary. Well, Handsome Partner checked out nearly 13 years ago, but who's counting..

And today Chief Garofalo's forecast came to pass

I'm all prepared, because yesterday I made that vegetable stew

when cooked, you dip out a cup, blend it and add it back in, to give a great texture.

Served with the plantbased hot sausage and fresh parsley, definitely snow day food.

And snow day reading, a Pride and Prejudice remake in New York and Cincinnati, doctors taking the place of wealthy landowners as the eligible catches.

Honda wrote to me to let me know my car is on the recall list,  one of those likely to have had a faulty fuel pump installed, and it could poop out in traffic, fail to start, etc. I need to get them to replace it at no charge. Good to know.

However they're very sorry but they won't have the parts available till the end of the year, but they'll be sure and write again then. Oh. I suppose if it collapses I'll have to get a non Honda part. Since it's been running fine for six years, I don't think I'll get too anxious about it. Honda isn't what it was. Or their supply chain isn't anyway.

Happy day, everyone, but sad one for Ukraine. They've had to withdraw from a heavily fought town they'd held. Can we bombard the Speaker with demands to put up the aid vote?
