What's coming out of your kitchen this Thursday evening?
Sandwiches, full meal prep, grilling, or finishing off
some leftovers?
 
It's going to fire roasted tomato soup here.  I'm
anxious to see if it's going to be better than my
favorite whole tomato recipe blended with a stick
blender after simmering.  Ingredients are the same,
with the tomatoes being the only difference and
there's just enough heavy cream left to make it
super rich.

 
 
You have more ambition and appetite than I have.
 
Had a snack at about 3 and now not hungry enough to cook.
With my snack was a bourbon as a tribute to a friend that
passed  away 13 years ago today. Long story there.
 
I'm going to make a salad and have some crackers and
cheese with it.
 
 

Maybe a sandwich later?

 
About 8PM I take a couple of pills and will have some ice
cream.
 
Rare I have a drink in the afternoon but today was special. 
Bill was  a good friend but I was really closer to his wife
Joan that remains my  best friend.  We go back about 47
years.  I texted her this morning,  of course.
 
Sheldon would never understand our friendship.  I'll be
spending a  week with her again soon.  It will be on the
beach at Ocean City NJ.

Sheldon rarely understood anything.  I think it's great you are
still  friends with her all these years later.

Talked to her yesterday and now have the dates to visit soon.  I
go once or twice a year, usually at the shore home. Long drive so
usually 7 to 10 days stay.  Sometimes I extend it and go up to CT
and visit old friends there too.

 
Sounds like the Alan Alda movie 9except theirs involved sex too).
Meeting once a year at a retreat vacation rental.

 
Not familiar with the movie.

That's ok.  It wasn't a blockbuster or anything.  Though the girl and
Alan were having sex, the movie is just about a long term deep
friendship that sounds like yours.

When I was living in PA, I'd see here at least once a week.  After
moving to CT, every few months.  Now, 1200 miles, a couple of times a
year.
 
I'm in touch with her other ways too.  Letters, phone, text.  She
lost a son three years ago.  She appreciated a short text I sent her.
I've not missed a day since.

Sounds lovely to have a friend like that.
