monday so far

I went to the butcher and got some pork. Now it is braising in some cider. There will also be a gratin and a salad as we must not end up with rickets or scurvy or whatever it is people end up with when they live on a diet of 100 calorie snack packs and crystal-lite. Not that I would live on a diet of that but you know what I mean. I am eating green things because green things are good. Green. Good. Okay.

Mind you the gratin has truffle salt in it so we are pretending we don't live in austere times where everyone eats stone soup and wears a lot of grey and looks about as excited as a figure in a Grant Wood painting.

I had a nice chat with my brother Tom today. We often play telephone tag and so when we are finally able to chat like two live people it is pleasant.
