Dear Lori:
I am sorry to read about your "80 degrees boob sweat" problem!!!!
 
Here where I am the temperature was 23 deg(f) early this morning.
The recent afternoons are in the low to mid 50 degree(f) range.

Have a good day and i hope that you had a nice lunch with your bestie.
HUGS, Danielle

Lunch with my Bestie today. Then had to go to Menard's for a furnace filter, then Walmart to get some essentials (coffee, milk, eggs, bread... and donuts, of course).

It is now 80 degrees. Boob sweat. The struggle is real.

There is a mysterious flower that grows here in the Black Hills. I first saw one up near my gold mining spot. I just thought it was the most beautiful thing. They are called Dame's Rocket (among other things). They only bloom in May and have no scent. Until sundown, then they are reported to have the most wonderful fragrance.

I have been back to that spot several years in a row, but couldn't find one. My thinking was that I would bring one home and plant it so I could see how it smelled in the evening.

Today, I spotted three of them growing near our parking lot! I will be out tonight to sample the perfume.



This week keeps getting better and better.

I used to respect her....silly me.

She gets worse and worse..

Turned out fine, meat is very tender. Not sure if that is down to the cooking or just good meat. Simple recipe from the same as "mums chicken curry" this is a family lamb and spinach from the same mum.
 Its been a good day, that's all you can ask for.

Lamb and spinach curry

Fresh mussels were on sale!  $2 for 2 lbs of mussels.
Cooked a batch last nite and will cook the rest today!
I like to divide up and cook stuff in separate batches to learn the craft of cooking.

Last night was more about getting rid of the bad ones and cooking the good ones in wine.

Today I'll do a reduction sauce and serve it over pasta.

Good job! I can almost smell them over here.

Thanks. I take absolutely no satisfaction in this, I must admit. Well, it's 99% relief and 1% satisfaction. It's very reminiscent of news/sports writing on a nightly deadline. Sometimes it's getting to the finish line you celebrate, less than the finished product.

But they are good. Wish I could share!
