Home Front

I have few overnight guests anymore, but I do like to keep the room ready just in case.  Ralph rearranges the bed to suit himself.  Let's just say we have differing views on how to make it neat and tidy.  Mother's little helper isn't helping.

I stopped at Cam's on the way to the store yesterday.  She has a fence line of grape vines and is overloaded with these very small but oh-so-sweet, what seem to be Thompson seedless.  She's not sure of the variety.  She has shared with me in the past and I was more than happy to take some (okay, a lot).

Ingredients for egg fu yung looked particularly fresh and good at the store so even though they weren't on my list, they went into the cart.  Camille had said she'd bought pork chops, so when I got home I called and told her we could combine and I'd cook dinner (after NASCAR, of course) and she accepted.  My meat thermometer was on the blink and the chops were overdone, but the veg pancakes made up for that.

Most of the day was spent just futzing around.  All quiet on the home front.

Sounds like it was a good day, and the grapes look divine. I will never forget picking the tiniest grapes I had ever seen in Fiddletown...and they were also the sweetest little gems I had ever tasted!!!
