Today was busy and full.
+ took kona for a walk
+ vacuumed entire house
+ put laundry away
+ went to driving range with dad and Brian and watched Brian get a golfing lesson. The range is very small, north of our town, adjacent to a pasture full of black cattle, and uses the honor system for buckets of balls. I put a couple bucks into a cookie tin for a bottle of water and some oreos for us to share. The empty lobby was full of old leather furniture, books, and thick rugs.
+ went grocery shopping. dessert tomorrow: two-bite brownies (local bakery, no I’m not making them, I fail at brownies).
+ Back home, we steam-cleaned the living room rug, then as it dried Brian got all heavily involved in cleaning his office.
+ So I decided to prep tomorrow’s dinner — we are having the neighbors over. I made two cups of bbq sauce, chopped up a walla walla sweet onion, and rubbed salt and pepper on the country style pork ribs I got at the market. It’s all going into the slow cooker in the morning.
+ then I made tonight’s dinner: green salad with farmer’s market greens, steamed rice, and some chopped chicken breast sauteed in butter, tarragon, lemon juice, and mushroom soup.
+ now what? long hot shower, olympics
I have never had a failure with Uncle Alton’s cocoa brownies:
