1. My son missed his flight again.

OMG!

While trying to rearrange all my travel plans back to the states, I am also trying out my neighbors solar oven with ribs and chicken.

I haven't even thought about what to fix on the side for the 6 people that will be dining here tonight.

2. Short ribs.

I'm cooking them like pot roast and with shallots and Parisienne carrots (frozen from Trader Joe's).

[cbayer]

3. I'm doing ribs, too, but they don't look like any I have seen before.

I talked in my very limited way with the butcher and I think they will be fine.

We shall see.

4. I bet they'll turn out fine.

Sorry about your son missing the plane.

[cbayer]

6. What a knucklehead.

If he doesn't get here tomorrow, I don't know what I am going to do.

7. Is this the one who's getting married?

[cbayer]

8. No, this is the best man, my youngest.

He is driving back to the states with me. Well, at least I hope he is.

9. Then the bride doesn't have to worry about him showing up on time at the church.

[cbayer]

10. Nah, but she might have to worry about the best man showing up the way

things are going.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. LOL. Hope he's better at that than getting on planes.

Probably broil the trout with a bit of olive oil and garlic powder on it.

13. such fun

School's over. I just have one final with a student for a make-up exam. There is nothing like the feeling of being out of school!

Tonight I am cooking up some Chinese dumplings for an appetizer. Hoisin sauce is what I'm using for a dipping sauce.

Main course, much later, will be a hamburger on a pretzel roll. Also a tossed salad with avocado in it.

I am also roasting tomatoes tonight!

I made my dandelion tea, too. Next up will be lemon balm tea.

cbayer, it will be wonderful to see your son. I hope you have a fabulous trip!

17. chicken salad today

....with some re-heated croissants.

Today I made an infusion of fresh blossoming lavender and fresh blossoming rosemary to store in the refrigerator and use in hot weather as a spritz. The mint is coming up in a big big way outside. Last year I dried a lot of it.

Busy busy home tasks today. A regular Martha Stewart.
