that’s right. after an appropriate period of mourning for our dear guinea pig rose, we have taken on her sister (or brother?) whom molly has named “susannah.” so far, so good. maybe this one will not meet such a tragic end. here’s hoping…
as i’ve been under the weather this week (like everyone else–pandemic, anyone?), the dinner fare has been kinda spotty this week. our romantic date on saturday kind of fell through, but due to the ever-present ormsby hospitality, the evening turned out to be great anyway–full of good food, good music, and copious amounts of mezcal (elisa brought a bottle back for us from her recent jaunt south of the border). on sunday, since we were still “childless,” we spent the day taking it easy (i took TWO naps!) & ordered pizza from mr. t’s for dinner. once b-dog got home on monday, we finally made it to the grocery store & bought provisions for the week…
monday- tomato soup & chicken salad sandwiches
tuesday-rosemary/lemon/garlic chicken with roasted onions & potatoes, brussels sprouts in mustard sauce
wednesday-pork carnitas, black beans
thursday-i was supposed to go to a school function this evening, but since i feel so lousy, i’m gonna lay low so i can finish out the week at school tomorrow. dinner for this evening remains to be finalized. i may do a chicken pot pie with the leftover chicken, or we may just have leftovers from last night. we’ll see.
friday-???
this week has been an exercise in endurance. we had a holiday on monday, but by tuesday evening i was feeling pretty bad. wednesday i got ready for school, but a fever & general malaise sent me back to bed. i was back in the saddle today, but not feeling great. 2 of my 4 classes were down to under a dozen students! they are dropping like flies–this version of the flu ain’t no joke, man!
y’all wash your hands & take your vitamins!
