And whole wheat cimmy buns for Saturday breakfast. Last night, I had an online class meeting for one of my courses, so I just made some egg salad and we had lots of bread – whole wheat baguette that I made, plus a loaf I brought home from a French bakery here in Madison, that I’m pretty sure is authentic because they close for the whole month of August and as Jean said the other night, “they’re kind of snooty”. We all just had little sammiches for supper – egg salad and butter and jam. Even Al & Emma made sammiches, and later we all had ice cream, too.
But I think I’m really losing it – I was going to make hummus, and I got out the lemons and the tahini to come to room temp, and never made it. I was supposed to grind coffee, too, and I forgot to do that. I wrapped up the online meeting, had my egg salad sandwich – good egg salad – made with some leftover tarted up mayo, with garlic & grainy mustard & a little lemon, and chopped pickles, and dill – and then made my bowl of ice cream and collapsed on the couch. I re-watched the last episode of last season of Game of Thrones. We probably won’t watch Season 2 Episode 1 in real time, because we’re going to Chicago for the weekend. But I didn’t do anything else for the rest of the night.
I bailed from work early today; it is the last day before spring break, and a Friday. I finally made the hummus, and I used the last of the whole wheat baguette dough to make sticky buns that we can eat before we head for the train to Chicago tomorrow. Tonight is snacks for supper again – hummus and pita chips (from the giant Costco bag that must be 35% crumbs) and a few cucumbers. I already had some rice chips and a handful of nuts. Maybe we’ll finish the coconut cake with ice cream when we come home. But I better go eat now, or I won’t have time to enjoy it before we have to leave for the symphony.
