I…

…cling to these words:

…dreamed about these brownies last night and consequently will be making them this afternoon. If you are my neighbor, please expect some brownies because I can’t keep an entire pan of these in my house. It’s detrimental to my health:

Recipe found HERE.

…couldn’t get out of bed until 1:30 pm yesterday on account of my bad back. The back doctor will be seeing me in one hour.

… made my grandpa’s recipe for salmon soup for lunch. It’s actually my great-grandmother’s recipe. It’s so simple it makes you want to leap for joy. If you love tuna or salmon or seafood, you would like it. Grandpa told me a few weeks ago that he used to make it in his college days when he was “batchin” it.

… love the way Grandpa talks.

… miss my sister and wish I could call her today. It’s her big #22.

Though I guess it really doesn’t matter seeing as how where she is, her birthday was yesterday. Technically. She’s already in Friday, and the rest of us Americans are stuck here in Thursday.

Love you, Ju! Onto the back doctor I go…
