walkitoutI took T. to martial arts. I woke up sniffly. R. was in a bad mood and he wound up napping most of the day with a one sided headache. Later he was sniffly, too. Could be smoke, more likely Yet Another Virus making the rounds. I had a nice chat with one of the other parents at martial arts; lots of people showed up for classes so I didn’t have a lesson (which was good).
R. took T. to basketball.
I hung out with A. I made thousand island dressing. This is the second round — the first one I made because High Priestess was really unhappy with the store-bought one she tried. I suggested making her own then figured I’d better make sure I wasn’t suggesting something difficult and unrewarding. She came up with a different recipe than mine (hers had horseradish, which sounds wonderful). I used BH&G’s, but with ketchup instead of chile sauce since I don’t keep that kind of chile sauce around. Round one had some chipotle Tabasco; today’s had less ketchup and some sriracha. The bummer about this recipe is the chopped raw onion. I used green onion, and I’m definitely having some digestive issues with it (nothing like my husband’s, thank goddess). I’m still chopping up a couple bread and butter pickles rather than using relish (which I also don’t have). It’s really good and ludicrously filling — and very close to the salad dressing I grew up with.
Lunch was the last of the air fried tofu — I finally got enough sprayed oil on the tofu cubes and cooked them long enough and hot enough to get nice crispy fried texture. This really is better than deep fat fried. And you don’t have to work to get the moisture out to avoid something horrifying happening, either. I also used up the peanut sauce, the rice. I have some leftover sautéed veg, tho.
I’m working on the pages for the Vanderbilt and Rosy Drink’s for my cookbook. I made a Remember the Maine today, but I don’t think we have Pernod and I didn’t feel like waking R. up to double check. I instead subbed a little bit of Peychaud’s, which has anise in it. I liked the way it turned out, which, given the ingredients was completely unsurprising (I’ve had a more true to life version of this drink at Less Than Greater Than; I like it with the Pernod, too).
I worked on Duolingo Spanish. We got a load of laundry through. I watched Friday’s TRMS. A. and I played some board games (a Frozen themed Trouble, a penguins game, some hangman). I did not invite M. for a visit, because we were under the weather. I was reluctant to leave the kids alone with R. sleeping, because they’ve been fighting the last couple days, so I didn’t go for a walk, either. Also, feeling meh. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. The kids are excited to go to track together; horse was canceled due to rain.
