In the morning, T.'s new dresser was delivered. It is beautiful! I'm sort of amazed. He had been looking on Wayfair, but I pointed him at Circle Furniture instead, and I'm so happy I did.
I got a nice walk with M.
R. and I cooked the last of the meal kits from this week: chicken breasts with green harissa, with spiced carrots and snap peas. No bread or grain, so we toasted some ciabatta rolls from Costco. I chopped up a whole bunch of little packets of pre-peeled garlic cloves that had accumulated from various meal kits and put some in oil in the fridge and used some to make bruschetta with the scallions that I did not include because R. can't have allium. The chicken and veg were tasty.
When T. got home, R. and T. went shopping for a leather jacket for T. Then they went to the motor skills track activity. And after that, they got some dinner and went to the Breeders concert at House of Blues.
Meanwhile, A. and I had a very quiet evening at home. I pulled the last of the bag of yellow potatoes out of the garage, where it _had_ been cool and dry but lately was neither cool nor particularly dry. Of course they were starting to sprout, but they weren't completely limp so I got rid of all the sprouting parts (and the skin in general), mixed the cubes with a chopped red onion (more of that meal kit allium), tossed them in olive oil, looked at the result and said, yeah, I'm looking for carbs but that is way too much. I froze about two thirds and air fryered the rest. I had a couple eggs, too. Very tasty.
ETA:
I opened up the strega and made a 1:1:1 Rittenhouse, Antica, Strega, calling it "A Witch in Manhattan". I loved it, and then I completely lost my mind making up a list of drinks to try with Strega. I entirely disapprove of most mixing strategies with Strega -- people are afraid to do anything with it, much like chartreuse, so I figure I'll just try all my favorite classics with Strega swapped in. And while I like the "witch" naming convention, I played around with it to stretch it a bit. So my proposed "Asterisk" modified to swap in the Strega for the Chartreuse would be a "Pentagram". And a Sidecar with Strega in place of the Cognac is a "Broomstick". I have no idea if these are going to be any good but I am super excited to try them. (I have over a dozen planned.)
