AND, I made a loaf of bread-machine bread. .... Well, we got the anticipated heavy rain and high winds this morning. And Jim, the appliance repair guy, came to replace the drum on my dryer (this drum is a lot quieter than the first one). Actually, the appliance repair guy only comes to visit our cats. He loves cats. Jim and Nicholas are BFFs. Today, Jim also brought Roxanne and Fanny under his sway.
I did a little work for NCHS (North County Humane Society) and ran a few errands in the early afternoon when the skies were mostly blue and sunny. Then, I cooked like mad. I've never prepared leeks. I've never poached fish. And I don't think I've ever made biscuits from scratch either. I think Bisquick is the closest I've come, and they are NOTHING like Alice's Cream Biscuits which, indeed, are made with a cup of heavy cream. OMG. Can't wait to dive into the assembled short cake later this evening. Fresh strawberries. Local fresh strawberries. From farmers' market.
Yes, I did start that UFO last night. It's finishing a small quilt. Just needs a little "rustic" quilting and the binding put on.
