I was supposed to meet a former coworker for tea, but she forgot. That meant I had a great solo tea experience at Bardo tea. It gave me time to dive into one of my books for my Hollywood Movie Musicals Project: A Song in the Dark.

Butter Softening in the Cabinet.
Whatever could I be making???
Birthday Squash
My brother grew butternut squash this year, and I got one for my birthday.
He grew them on a trellis, and the result was a longer part of the neck of the squash, which is great because that’s the easiest part to cut up.
It was a good squash.
Table Set for Thanksgiving
It was a small Thanksgiving, but we had turkey, stuffing, green beans with mushroom sauce and fried onions (note that the mushroom sauce and onions only cover part of the green beans due to preference), mashed potatoes, and homemade rolls.
It was a good feast!
Angel Food Cupcake!
The stars aligned and Matt’s flight from Indianapolis connected through MSP at a time when Angel Food’s airport kiosk was open. And that means I got a cupcake and a donut.
Thanks, Matt!
Orange Door Dinner at Gado Gado
Matt and I had a feast at Gado Gado in celebration of my birthday. Can recommend.
Birthday Lunch from Pollo Bravo
I had a gift card for Door Dash and used to to order delicious lunch from Pollo Bravo including chicken, salad, three sauces, the most delicious potatos bravas, and some Basque cheesecake.
When I ordered, I added that I was very excited to be celebrating my birthday with their food and they decorated my delivery bag and threw in a free cookie! Above and beyond, Pollo Bravo, above and beyond!
I also opened my cards from Matt, which came with chocolate.
Ingredients for Chop Chop Salad
I’ve long been a fan of Elephants Delicatessen’s Chop Chop Salad, and today I decided to screenshot the ingredients so I could recreate this salad, should I have need.
Yum!
Strawberry and Raspberry Galettes
I’ve had this recipe waiting in the wings for several years. It’s so old, it’s from when the Oregonian was still being delivered to me. Today was the day I made it.
I had both strawberries and raspberries and together they were delicious.
I tend to not do well with pie crust, but folding these gallettes is in my limited skillset.
They were delicious.
And, having made the recipe, I concluded that I would probably never make it again, and I recycled that recipe.
Fancy lunch at MÅURICE
I took the day off of work and took myself out to lunch at MÅURICE, which describes itself as a modern pastry luncheonette.
I had a delicious meal that included radishes with fresh butter.
It was a fun thing for my day off.
