Sue is still not up to snuff so she rested all day and Paul did “chores” meaning fixing or working on things that needed work for years! Today he did not walk as Sue was down for the count. Chores today… Yes indeed! Paul cleaned out two “junk drawers” and brought the pencil and pen count down to less than 100,000! We had pens dating back before ink was invented! OK, maybe not that bad but all we needed was a hand full of pens and pencils.
Paul also worked in the garden bringing in some cauliflower which he pickeled using white vinegar, sugar and a mess of pickling spices. He tasted it after about six hours and then determined that he ought learn the difference between a tea speen and a table spoon, especially when it comes to hot pepper flakes!
Oops! No wonder the cauliflower is so hot!
We were supposed to go to Topper’s but alas, we decided it would be better to stay close to home. The last thing we want is to get Sue exposed to that nasty flu!
Paul fixed dinner but that was a lesson in and of itself. How hard is it to put butter and cheese on a slice of baguette? VERY HARD! Sue is an excellent teacher (and willing subject of Paul’s cooking attempts). We finally ended up with someting mostly edible. Thank goodness for ice cream and instant chocolate chip cookie dough!
We watched TV and hit the sack around midnight. Yes, we are binge watching “Grey’s Anatomy”.
