My Tart is a Quiche

Looks like a quiche to me…

What is the difference between a tart and a quiche? In this instance, I have no idea. But, I fell for the same thing that I always fall for in making quiche like dishes – not putting in enough spices. Oh well. I will survive. This one was mostly a way to use up the ricotta cheese that SM left me. I used half of it. I think I will get more pie crusts and try this recipe, mostly, again. With some more salt and some more pepper and maybe even some more stuff tossed in.

Today was a gloomy day outside. I wanted to stay in all day. Then I realized that SM’s trash can was still out. So I had to go and move that. Well, I didn’t have to. It was just better that I did. And that was going to be the extent of my outdoors activity. But fate wouldn’t let that happen.

This morning I got a call from EC asking if I would accompany her to a concert this evening. One that JC didn’t feel up to attending. She had mentioned this jazz singer before. And it is happening right down the road from me. And she asked early enough in the day that I could adjust my mental plans for the evening. Which is why I am writing up this blog post now, rather than later.

Speaking of blog posts, someone caught up on a lot of my posts! Thank you whoever it was!

Besides running that quick errand, all that was on my agenda was to do some playing of Hogwart’s Legacy – which I did. And to read more of Verity. Which I also did. I would like to finish that book this weekend. The game will take a good bit longer. I am only 5% complete at this point and I have been playing for around 7 hours! I doubt I will get to 100% complete. But however much I do complete, I am enjoying the game.

I also did a little neatening in the kitchen. Woo hoo!

It is the 31st! A new month begins tomorrow. June already! How crazy is that? It would be nifty if we had consistently warm days going forward for a while. Instead we got a day under 50°F today and another similar one tomorrow. Poo. I just don’t feel like hanging out on my porch when it is this cold. And if I am not hanging out there, I am not too motivated to put up the five curtain rods I have purchased. True, I only have curtains for 3 of them so far, but we shall see if I can come up with some more from somewhere.

And that’s all that I am writing tonight. I have to go pick EC up and go to the concert. I hope I can stay awake. At least it isn’t dance. I almost always sleep for the first half hour of a dance performance. I don’t know why but dance performances put me right to sleep!

One Dynamite Lilac!

One decent one!!

It is errands and chores day! And the weather is brilliant! Woo hoo.

Guess who is actually sitting out on his glassed in side porch! That’s right, it is I, or me. But how did I get here? That is the story of the morning.

I woke up early this morning and went back to sleep. I didn’t need to get out until my regular time, even though I was not going to be doing my regular dashing duties. First up, take my bike to the bike place to get happy.

It turns out that I haven’t ridden my bike, nor used my bike rack, since I got my Tesla. I got the rack attached, barely, and somehow managed to lose the little strap that is used to help the front wheel not waggle around. Maybe the bike store has one I can purchase. (Yay!! I didn’t lose it. It was in the pocket of my shorts!) Anyway, I started to back up and the poor Tesla was confused and thought I was backing up into something. Sigh.

At the bike store, they suggested that I do a level two service, get a new chain, and get a spoke fixed on one of my wheels. It will be ready tomorrow.

Next stop, the bank And no, they had no $2s. What is up with that?

On my way to the grocery store, I dropped two books off at the library. I still have two on hand. The one I am reading now is, surprisingly, a post apocalypse novel. I haven’t gotten very far into it yet, but it is interesting. I have two more books on hold at the library. Both seem to be taking forever for the other people to read. Sigh.

I got home and started cleaning out my email – a weekly exercise. Down from 300+ to 24. I really need to clean out a few of those 24 as well. Someday.

Off to pick A up and take him to his car. He has to take it to Canandaigua for repairs. Why he is going so far, I have no idea. Later, I will be picking him up and returning him to Living Center. As I was driving home, I remembered what else I was planning on doing today: shopping!!

On my list – mostly just more curtain rods. I think if I am going to be spending a lot of time on the porch again this summer, which is definitely the plan, I thought it would be wise to hang a few curtains. I am starting with the window behind which I sit. And the two doors to the front porch. And while I was shopping, I bought an inexpensive TV for the porch. Way too many TVs in the house now. But I’m ok with that.

At home, I started to set up the TV and was going to put the curtain rods up. I discovered that my electric drill (for drilling pilot holes) didn’t have any juice. It is plugged in now. While waiting for that, I will continue setting up the new TV.

And all done for now with TV setup! Good thing I know my passwords!!

I am not a fan of spitting in general. I don’t do it a lot generally. But the DNA test that I am doing with Ancestry.com required me to expectorate into a tube. Fun times. I will drop that in the mail tonight. So excited to find out what sort of a mutt I truly am! Though apparently it may take as long as 6 weeks!

Ok, I have done my good deed for the day. Yes, I was paid for it, but it was still a good deed. Go me! Rah! Now all I want to do is make my pizza and wings for dinner. Which I will do soon.

It looks, according to the weather report, that my thought of spending more time on the porch will be a little premature. It looks like next week – or maybe even the next ten days (though, weather forecasts that far out aren’t always that accurate) the high temp is going in the high 50s. Which is way too cold to hang out on the porch – imho. Poo. I was hoping that summer weather was actually starting.

Ok, time to do a little Duolingo (very little) and then make dinner. So excited!
