I got up and did finances.
I started soaking pinto beans for Beans Soup. I diced and minced lots of things, mostly cabbage though, for Chow Chow, a Southern relish. I then let it marinate.
I did all sorts of grocery shopping, ate lunch, and worked on my latch-hook project with the Crochet Club. I drove home.
I defused the Filipino-Icelander border dispute by pointing out to them that they didn’t share a border.
I washed a lot of dishes. Worked like a maniac making Chow Chow and Beans Soup. These dishes were a bit hit with the natives. I cleaned more dishes during lulls in the preparation.
I’m going to lie down for a while. My back hurts from all that standing.
Behave yourselves while I’m resting.
