My intention was to make glazed salmon and green beans with herb butter, but then mom didn’t want to eat. So I ate a big bowl of Reese’s peanut butter puffs cereal with vanilla almond milk. I’ve spent the day in my kitchen making stuff for a picnic with the guy tomorrow: smoked gouda and ham pasta salad, loaded baked potato salad, sweet & sour tomato and cucumber salad, white sangria, and lemon bars. We’re picking up a bucket of chicken to go with it.

Damn! My picnics involve some sopressata, a chunk of sharp provolone, a loaf of ciabatta and a bottle of wine. Bring you own knife to eat and drink.
