Been a busy week. It started with breakfast with the folks at our local VFW hall and ended today with a drive I won't do again;>!
The Eggplants have done so well that this week there were enough for both Mom's Eggplant casserole and a batch of Nazu Shibasuke. I changed the recipe I usually use a bit and liked the result so much I'm making it permanent. I increased the Sugar to 2 tsp and replaced 1 Tbl Rice Wine Vinegar with Mirin. YUMMMM!!!!!
Chuck had his 1st labs drawn since his ER visit a couple of yrs ago...what fun. He actually handled the draw better than the day before and up TILL the draw. He's pretty much a Professional Worrier;>.
3 yrs after the fact we found "Mr Whipple" spraying the outside of our house for Ants. So, for the last week I've been keeping my phone handy for??????
Oh, and we had to pay him, though we got it taken off the rent.
And today we went over to Destin on our bimonthly Candle and 'Fresh Foods' run. Couldn't believe they didn't have Ume Vinegar. That stuff was pretty much like Catsup for the Macrobiotic crowd. I'll either order the good stuff online or by the "Wombyn-Hating" Edenfoods Vinegar which I generally do(but not since "Holly Lobby" since they supported their Lawsuit and also refuse their Female Workers full medical...unlike their males. Peckpills OK, to prevent what Peckerpills CAUSE?!?). The drive home was hellacious. I'd forgotten what a Friday is like in Summer on 98. NEVER AGAIN. NOTHING'S worth it;>!!!
Cheers,
Pat
