Unfortunately, I need to buy a couple of ingredients for the main attraction, which means that I need a shower and fresh clothes for the outing, which in turn means I'll need to fold the laundry that's sitting in the dryer, and just like that the day is shot. I might not be able to make dinner until tomorrow.

(I'm good at this shortcut stuff.)

Just take the clothes out of the dryer that you need. Have a quick shower. If feasible, get delivery on the ingredients by using one of those services that brings the order to you in the car.

Go home, make dinner, and have a lovely summer evening with your wife.

Pack of cookies and some pretzels.

And you have some good food on Sunday.

with tossed green salad.

Today's Farmers Market excursion provided tomatoes and some romaine lettuce to have on the nachos. Also got a pint of sour cherries. There aren't enough for a pie but they will make a nice crisp for the three of us.

I also got a huge bag of collard greens, which I washed, stemmed, chopped, blanched and froze. Yield: three bags with about a cup and a half in each

with some friends. We brought farinata, a Mediterranean flatbread made with chickpea flour - this version had red onions, tomatoes, and olives as well. It's vegan, and this version omits a lot of the more common food allergies and sensitivities as well - plus it can be eaten hot out of the oven or at room temperature.

It has a low glycemic level. Was delicious. I intend to try more dishes with chickpea flour.
