We’ve had umpteen bajillion hot, dry days. Wouldn’t you know the day we planned a FinFam steak dinner, it would rain. I think the rain had settled down by the time our grill master got to work. It was dark inside the Landfill, hence the candles.

I only did two grock shops today. The first was at the Argus Farm Stop to get some local produce. They had some corn! Yay! Argus is an amazing place. They get goods from local farmers and sell it to the public. They also serve coffee and pastries and things. During the early, scary days of covid, back when people were dying (and YES, they were, do not forget), Argus set up an on-line ordering system where you could order stuff and they would deliver it to your door.

Garlic bread was part of today’s menu and wouldn’t you know I managed to get into a mess with that. We needed to make garlic bread with “regular” butter and also vegan butter. I made some with regular butter and then I got all set up to make a half loaf with vegan butter. I started to butter that half loaf with vegan butter and then… I was listening to my fave political podcast (Left Right and Center) and I went over to adjust the volume or whatever. When I got back to my buttering task… I finished that half loaf with REGULAR BUTTER. It didn’t help that I had both kinds of butter right next to each other on the counter.

Okay. I schlepped back over to the Plum for ANOTHER baguette. I buttered both halves of that one with vegan butter. One went into the freezer, the other got baked. I figger we aren’t gonna be able to tell the difference between the dairy and vegan butter so what the heck.

I dunno if that all made sense (probably not) but it was a good time. And ignore those remote control thingies. I did not even see those things until I downloaded the photo to my laptop and optimized it.

P.S. If Fox News et al and facebook “friends” who post inflammatory crapola are your main political information sources, the podcast Left Right and Center might be an alternative. There are always participants from both sides of the current political spectrum and they discuss issues respectfully and even with a sense of humor. I’m sure there are MANY other alternatives.
