So this week, I started writing this post before yoga same as last week, but [thankfully] did not descend into fatness crisis again and actually stuck with and enjoyed the yoga class.

I got started on taxes, sort of. At Christmas I never did boxing day and cleaned up all the papers on my desk. So I started by doing that.
Before desk
After desk
But then, I referred to the tax organizer email that I’d gotten from the accountant, and turned out that under the bold text that said we need to get them our materials by March 22, otherwise they can’t guarantee they can file our taxes on time, was really tiny text that said the link to the organizer expired on February 25. I had to send an ashamed email saying, “can you send me that link to the organizer again, please?”
But I guess that got me off the hook for doing more tax stuff on Saturday.
We walked to the library and then had US Senate Navy bean soup for dinner. The ham broth that maybe Katie was sniffing on my glasses in the pic above came from boning the ham hock that was in the soup. And then we watched Coming to America 2, and I guess I agree with this NPR reviewer who said great gowns, plus jokes, and who asked for this?
I really did not photograph meals this week. I made a chicken-corn-bacon-chowder that I used to make when the kids were younger because John liked it, and we ate it with ricotta biscuits that I’d been meaning to try since I saw this (kind of complicated) recipe by Nicole Rucker (adapted for the NYT by Tejal Rao) to use as the top of scalloped tomatoes back in the summer. I used this simpler – and smaller batch – version by Yossy Arfie who wrote the Snacking Cakes book Rachael gave me for Christmas.
On Thursday we had leftover lasagna from the freezer and the last of some pasta with sundried tomato & fennel cream sauce and a salad and garlic toast, and I had a boulvardier before dinner as my reward for surviving zoom meetings from 10:00am-5:30pm. see overleaf.
I thawed out the breast-half of our inexpertly butchered by me Thanksgiving turkey and we had turkey BLT sandwiches on Friday, and I think we’ll have turkey Ruebens (Rachels) tomorrow. And turkey divan some other night – I bought the broccoli – and probably more sandwiches in there sometime, too – it’s huge.
Oh yea, Wednesday I listened to Robyn Hitchcock’s birthday show featuring Lou Reed tunes, since Lou would’ve been 79 on Tuesday, and RH was 68 Weds. I think Harry Rag was there. And I bought some music on Saturday, locals, Ghost Particles, and Canadians, The Weather Station.
I’m finishing this on Sunday when we had blueberry pancakes for brunch (no pictures) and I made snickerdoodles for us to eat for our Sunday night dessert for dinner TV watching treat.
