after your dentist appointment.

and off we go on a road trip to a wedding in Indianapolis.

on my own mighty fine black coffee. Most likely will have oatmeal with dried cranberries and walnuts a little later!

Sweden, Finland and Norway.

Ate a lot of yummy salmon and halibut.

I would like to go for coffee at a shop with an outdoor patio. it seems those days are over, however, because:

—air quality in the ny area is 128, unhealthy for sensitive groups
—I can’t drink regular coffee anyway (but could have tea)
—bagels and pastries have too many carbs
—my brother quit loading up my Panera card so I’d have to pay
—all friends have left town for the holiday or are late sleepers

My own patio is loaded up with plants that need to go in, so no space at the table.

coffee

but the air quality improved so I worked for four hours at the gardens. But when I came home, there was some delicious cold soup in the refrigerator, so I had the last of my chicken-almond dumpling leek soup. Was so good.

In modest amounts, leftovers can be a blessing.
