Things that struck
me today: this is my parent’s 80th wedding anniversary. Sure wish
they were here to celebrate
In a column of
funny obituaries today, I found this: “Ding dong, the witch is dead, but the memory of our mother lives on.”
Shh. Don’t tell my kids.
I am a devotee of Sam Sifton’s column in the New York Times, “What to Cook Today.” But
he may have gone too far this morning in suggesting putting a pot of oatmeal on
overnight in your rice cooker or whatever. Then in the morning stir in some syrup
and a shot of Scotch whiskey What a way to start the day!
Wonderful lunch today—friend Carol convinced me she
was craving fried chicken, so we went to Buttons, a restaurant that advertises
food and music for the soul. It was indeed soul food—the best fried chicken I’ve
ever had, along with mashed potatoes and gravy and seasoned green beans.
Brought one piece of chicken and some green beans home for supper, just added a
deviled egg.
Absolutely beautiful day in Fort Worth today-what
spring should be like. We sat on the patio with wine and planned the garden. I
want to plant onions and lettuce this week, if we’re not already too late, for
spring salads. My mouth is watering as I remember my mom’s wilted lettuce.
It’s going to be a good spring. Hope everyone enjoys
it!
