Cool Down

It was bright and sunny in the morning and I made the mistake of putting on just a light, long-sleeved shirt over my tee-shirt to go to the barn.  There was no warmth in that sunshine and the deltas continued to blow.  Let's just say I didn't dawdle with the girls.

PBS is on track on Saturdays again with cooking shows back to back.  Even if I know I wouldn't care for a particular recipe, I feel I can always learn something new about procedure or technique.  It was years and years ago that I learned how to bang a head of lettuce on the counter to remove the core and not leave the edges to turn brown from a knife cut; something as simple as that.

It was a good day to stay inside.  I'd thought to perhaps get another yard mowed, but that chill wind made me rethink that plan.  The lowering sky at sundown was a pretty good portent of what today will be like.  Today's race will be at Talladega, famous for "the big one," so I have a ready-made excuse to stay indoors again.
