I've got dog duty today at 2 for a couple of hours. It doesn't seem like it should be tiring but I'm exhausted by the time I'm done. Part of it is I do walk them a lot but part of it is I just am so used to calm and quiet and routine that it doesn't take much to throw me off my game.
Day before yesterday:
Noom has a thing for whole wheat bread. They like it better than any other. Since I don't eat white bread (I like more complex flavors) it is not much of an issue for me. But Dana is having dental problems so the stuff I most like, 12 grain and bulgur wheat, are off the table for the moment. Too crunchy. So I made a couple of 100% whole grain loaves last night. Been a while. I nearly always make crunchy bread. But this is good. Lots of flavor:
I'm normally not satisfied with anything I bake but this is pretty close to just right.
The year Dana and I first lived in Florida, 1996, I remember drinking Margaritas on the patio of a Mexican restaurant on Christmas Eve. We had a good time talking to the servers. They had to be there anyway for another hour so we all had fun joking around. It was 76 (24) degrees and sunny.
This Friday's high in Georgetown is 79. The Christmas is 84. Sydney NSW where they are having summer now (aren't they?) it will be 82.
Yule log, my ass. We'll have the A/C cranked up and I may have to get a margarita just on general principal. Once every 25 years can't hurt.
