It started this morning. We coulda biked to the farmers market, but I was thinking I/we would bike to the Sugar Maple Fest later on. So we drove to the market, and oh by the way, accomplished some car errands like dropping off the screen from E. Wash that the bike thieves tore, at the hardware store to get re-stretched.
I made two pies for Debbie C.’s pie party: blueberry buttermilk, and zucchini lattice (see below). I coulda made pesto, too, but I think I’ll do that tomorrow. I wanted to make the blueberry tart partly because I remembered Jane bringing it to a long ago picnic, and I liked it. It’s almost like a quiche with the berries in a sweet crust and a sweet custard poured in over. And, yesterday I laid in my supplies of blueberries and cherries to freeze. Got 5 pounds of blueberries at Costco, and then a 10-pound box at Brennan’s, along with a 7-pound jar (like the big plastic jars food service mayo comes in – a gallon or so) of cherries. But I haven’t frozen the berries or cherries yet – tho I coulda – so it also seemed like a good idea to make a recipe that called for fresh, un-frozen berries.
And at about 6:00 I realized we coulda gone to Atwood Summerfest and seen some version of Honor Among Thieves.
Shucks. But it’s hot out and I have some kind of sinus infection or cold or something. Sore throat. Sneezing. Itchy eyes. Headache. Tired & draggy. So easier to stay in air con, even though I coulda not.
