Good morning and TGIF - although I woke way too early. Anyhow, I have a load of laundry done and the dishwasher is just finishing up. My timely reminder just popped up to tell me to thaw the turkey that I am serving Sunday night. It also tells me it's payroll day which I had forgotten.
Yesterday, Natalie, my assistant curator, had a small stroke which shocked us all! She is only 27 and in great physical shape. Follow-up is happening but, in the meantime, I'll be at the Mill office finishing up a grant application which is due October 31! Some of my baking plans for today are down the tube but I do have enough in the freezer.
I had moules mariniere and some toast for dinner last night. What a lovely meal, low calorie and easy to prepare. It's been a home cooking week as I've been digging out old recipes (1960-69), beachifying them and giving them another try. I did an oven beef stew this week which I'll post when I have adjusted the seasonings a bit.
Off to tackle a hectic day but I do have fun, fun, fun Book Club tonight! How does your TGIF look?
