My mom used to say that the heat of summer made her exhausted. I think that’s how I’m feeling today. Except it’s been going on for longer than just today. I’m not feeling too creative, and I think the posts show it. My stuff to cook list is not all that deep right now – though I do have a pretty good stack of clipped recipes & new cookbooks to try out sitting next to the stove. And I’m trying to work up a set of summer suppers – only the first one’s<\/a> posted so far.<\/p>\n

One problem is I haven’t been able to figure out what the current foster kid likes to eat – Cheetos & soda are the only sure things. I’ve sure have thrown out a lot of food since she started living with us.<\/p>\n

This morning I felt too tired to bike to the week-long seminar I’m in … to my credit, I had my computer and other heavy junk to carry, plus it was threatening rain & lightning & thunder.<\/p>\n

Since I drove, I loaded up the washed tableclothes from Sunday’s brunch, and stopped by – during the hardest part of the rain – and unloaded the dishwasher. The clean monkey dishes & ramekins that I made the eggs in – that I had had to handwash – were looking pretty photogenic.<\/p>\n
