Friday Morning, 26 March

1) Off to the dentist very early this morning to fix a broken filling. Waiting for the anesthetic to kick in, I shared the plot of Valley of the Dolls since we had been talking about painkillers. And a good thing, too, ‘cause they actually had to give me an extra shot after the drilling commenced, something I never remember experiencing before.

2) Bone marrow, cheesecloth, basil, rosemary, garlic, strawberry chamagne jam, carrots, soy sauce, and now I have everything I need for this weekend’s Dress Dinner Challenge menu.

2a) Of this list, the cheesecloth is the most important item.

2b) Also, a surfeit of Easter candy, which was really unnecessary since Laura’s family sent me a beautiful Easter basket centerpiece from ye Byrdick’s.

3) It’s interesting to consider that I started this little personal blog four years ago this month at a particularly low point to have an alternative to sharing info I’d ordinarily post on ye Fycebykke. Now, I treat that platform more as a reluctant obligation — but not because of the friends I have there.
