I have been posting intermittently, and not really much if anything other than book review posts. We went to three European countries, visiting 3 different family members / groups and went to Efteling. We had a fantastic time and there will be substantial additional detail as I do catchup blogging.
I hope everyone has been enjoying the summer; apparently, I brought the cool weather back from Europe with me, which from my perspective is great but if you were enjoying the 80s/90s, I don’t mean to gloat.
ETA: Trip posts are up.
I made waffles this morning. I will be cutting up and cooking or freezing the peaches because they are _ripe_. I had one with a waffle this morning. Yummy.
Oh, and there is corn!
Next up: brush my teeth and go for a walk. Piano will be a bit later. I could have gone with T. to martial arts and Vics, but I was feeling kinda unsteady still this morning.
ETAYA:
I did a one mile loop by myself, and then again with M. Nice to do! We had a brief visit after. Piano went well. T. was going to go see a movie, but got into a not even a fender bender. Insurance info was exchanged, police were called, everyone seems completely fine. R. got the license plate better attached and I can’t even see any other damage. Hopefully the same is true on the other side. Lessons were learned and we will be driving T. to and from work today, because I feel like this is probably jetlag related and he is just kind of in denial about all kinds of impairment. We have talked about it. He is learning. I really should have been more emphatic about NOT asking for a shift the day after returning from Europe. Oh well! Teenagers gonna teenage.
I cut up two more peaches and made crisp, but I modified the topping a bit, based on what I have learned from that one round of making homemade granola. Let me tell you, it smells gooooood.
I left 4 cobs of corn for R., and shucked the rest, boiled the kernels and cobs separately. They are cooling. I haven’t decided exactly what I am going to do with them, but this is step one on most of the things I might do with them.
I had veg from Siena Farms and rice for lunch.
I’ve watched two episodes of Alex Wagner, and am running the dishwasher because apparently that was enough cooking (along with the waffles and assorted other meals since returning home) to need to run the dishwasher. R. cut the lawn. Things are ticking along nicely.
