Oy. Not to repeat myself the whole time, but how do the days slip away? Although, I’m glad to say that I thought I had lost an entire week, seeing that my last post was on the first, but it’s only been four days. Sometimes I forget that the month is listed first in American-style dates. I feel like I’ve got a lot to catch up on here, but let’s skip right to today. It was National Night Out!

My neighbour-across-the-way organized a potluck get-together, so I made zucchini bread. I used the same-ish recipe as last time, but substituted orange zest, pecans, and cranberries (and kept the poppyseeds). It’s okay — good, even — but I think the crystallized ginger really makes the flavour. I miss it in this batch.
So, sorry to post and run, but I’ve got things to do, ice cream to eat. I officially sent my television packing (to the basement), so now there’s more room for colour-coordinated books. But I’ve been talked into watching a TV show on the computer, so it calls to me.

And away! (Like my apron? I got it from an estate sale and may or may not have a slightly morbid name for it.)


Yeah, my tv was banished to the basement as well but then I found out how many shows I can watch online. At least you don’t have to deal with as many commercials.
