Food prep is done; it did not include tonight's dinner, so we're ordering Indian. Aloo saag for me and vegetable tandoori extravaganza (cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, mushrooms, paneer) for Tim.

My (slightly more than) 2-week follow-up for my left-hand carpal tunnel surgery is tomorrow. I think I'm owed a refund because this hand doesn't seem very evil.

Well, now I'm going to make a tomato, corn and basil salad with a lemon vinaigrette.

I also made a tomato, basil topping for my sourdough bread using up the vinaigrette from earlier. Also yum.

I wasn't hungry, but now.

Well done with the super productive housework day, Hec.

I burned stuff for about 6 hours, and now I am cleaned up and ready to go next door for cocktails. I have purposely not purchased any wine in over a month, but have had a glass when eating out or with friends. Just not having the option at home makes a big difference.

I burned stuff for about 6 hours

That sounds so satisfying!

Dinner at my aunt's house with DH, cousin and her DH was lovely. A summer smorgasbord!

Last load of laundry is in dryer, but that one and the previous one I will fold and put away tomorrow; I'm done. Kitchen is all done, though!

Just finished the crossword, and now we're pretending like we're going to watch something but will both probably fall asleep during whatever it turns out to be. We watched The Bondsman with Kevin Bacon over the last week or so. Pretty entertaining.
