Plans for today (2024)

[karadekoolaid]

We've got one of my wife's cousins coming over in half an hour. Haven't seen her since 2008, when we went to visit her in Scuol, Switzerland.
Sooooo... my nice quiet Sunday morning was spent making Capressa on a stick, Mediterranean puff pastry pinwheels, Artichoke and bacon montaditos and pulling a jar of aubergine /eggplant antipasto from the fridge.
No problem with the booze, however; Friday's guests brought 2 bottles of Scotch, 4 bottles wine and 2 bottles of Prosecco.
Any teetotallers who arrive today will have to change their habits.

They haven't invented dry March and really there's no reason to, is there? Although I suppose some Catholics are still dry until Easter? The Catholics I know only gave up meat on Friday's but they are happy to chow down on lobster or some other awesome kinds of seafood. Hardly seems like a sacrifice to me, LOL.

1) It's always dry in March here. It's the dry season
2) I'm not Catholic, although my wife is.
3) I'm hungry and thirsty and it's Sunday

Yeah, the ex-SIL was only Catholic during Lent because it gave him an excuse to blow their food budget on shrimp, crawfish, and crab every Friday since he couldn't eat meat.

Back in about three hours.

In addition to seeing Dune II (I took the day off to take advantage of half-price Tuesdays…$14 for two matinee tickets, and about $637 for two popcorns and water ), we also went to Sam’s Club, where we went in for four things and came out with nine.

Today I'm going to (a) pick up some cumin seeds for a client and buy some jalapeños in the market (b) have a haircut.

 

[TastyReuben]

No plans today beyond laundry and work and making a salad for tonight.

Light duty work this afternoon and picking up groceries.

 

[martinoaro]

Working until this afternoon, but making Key Lime Pie (my favorite!) for after dinner tonight and Pork roast for the main course. Rest of the evening will just be house chores, lounging, etc.

Mmmmm…pork roast…

LOL yep but racking my brain for ideas. We had another last week on the grill, but the kitchen cupboards are running bare lol. Grocery time this weekend but just need to come up with a sauce and a side based on what we've got left!

I've completely run out of steam so I'm done for the day. I had planned to do far too many things and have achieved about a 1/4 of them.
It's a highly unsatisfactory feeling looking at such an unticked list, I think it can only be remedied with chocolate and junk tv

LOL yep but racking my brain for ideas.

Got any apricot or peach jelly in the cupboard? you could use that for a sauce.
OR some soy, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, tamarind, hot pepper....
