Thursday (yesterday), was a healing day...time to clean, time to grade, time to reflect, time to plan, and time to organize. This is what comes of extended holiday breaks...a moment to inhale and exhale. I loved waking up to Angie Braaten's Google Search prompt, where you begin searching items and figure out where it leads you as you begin typing ideas in the search-bar menu. I would never have thought of such a prompt, nor would I have unraveled all the material that naturally comes from any basic question to punch into the bar. Phew. I could have lost myself for hours, but I had enough to write.
Today, I'm looking forward to out-of-town guests and the opportunity to cook again for a crew. I have the brisket soaking in sauce, onions, garlic, spices, and joy, and I will slow cook it for you 8-hours starting at 9 a.m.. I have a 10 o'clock collegial mentoring session, and then I can think about getting the house ready for guests. Mt. Pleasant looks forward to having company and friendship again.
Last night, too, Pam brought home Caprese pizza from Pepe's (of New Haven claim-to-fame: pesto, tomato, mozzarella, and cheese. Dang, that is a good pizza. They charcoaled crisp they get on the thin crust brings me back to the Pavone's from the Penn Can Mall, and Lewis's pizza in Sherburne. So, so good.
And now, to kick off today.
