Whoops, totally forgot to update this for several days running. Let's see if I can even remember what I made for supper those days (not as easy since I've discontinued the food diary I was keeping for a while).

Activities was the usual of mostly gaming and a very little crochet.. worked on my using-up-DK-leftovers striped scarf a bit, but I've mostly been giving my hands a break after finishing the blanket.

Watching more of Pursuit of Jade, which I'm enjoying the silliness of. Also the very pretty people.

Apr 12 - Ran a load of laundry. For supper I'd slow cooked black-eyed peas in chicken broth, served with hot dogs and a salad.

Apr 13 - made beef & macaroni stew, because I had a craving and its been a while.

Apr 14 - made a big bowl of potato salad, fried some leftover slider patties I'd unearthed from the depths of the freezer, and steamed some corn to go with it.

Apr 15 - just me for supper, I had leftover potato salad with hot dogs.

Apr 16 - did chicken wings in two different marinades, which we had with boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes, and steamed squash with corn.

Back to golf!!! Though we did not finish 18 holes again, this time, due to weather!

Apr 13 - Yet More Scanning (of course). Just one album today, it was one of those fairly old ones fastened together with what was basically a shoelace and long interlocking grommets at one end, so I unfastened it to making scanning simpler, and then had to reassemble it afterwards. Nephew out again, I had a small pizza for supper.

Apr 14 - Another laced-up album to take apart and scan and reassemble. Then the loose photos from inside two albums that are both too large to fit in my scanner, so I'll need to photograph their pages another day. And then a small cardboard box of random photos, documents, negatives, and what turned out to be a small stack of handwritten recipes, probably from some time in the late 40s through early 60s as one of them was for a jellied salad. It was based on minced cooked beets, diced apple, celery, and green peas in lemon jello seasoned with salt, cayenne pepper, and vinegar, and with some of the water replaced with salad cream. *Shudders*

Nephew made a meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and steamed mixed veg for supper.

Mistigram: today AdeptApril celebrates the favorite board game of spelling bee enthusiasts worldwide, so here's an #ANSIart grid of fixed-width semigraphics characters representing a grid of fixed-width letters on a #Scrabble board. Try to play it on a triple word score!

Apr 13 - Had a bleah day, eventually dragged myself out of bed, made rice, and heated up some chickpea curry from the freezer for supper.

Apr 14 - better day, got out of bed much earlier than I normally do. Still didn’t get anything in particular done, though for supper I was ambitious enough to do some deep fat frying (haddock fillets I battered myself), with fries (in air fryer) and peas. I think it’s been literal years since I last did deep fat frying (all hail oven fries, which eliminated the vast majority of reason for doing deep fat frying way back in my teens iirc).
