It's a lovely morning and I'm looking forward to riding today. We're taking an early boat to Vashon Island because the ferries and highways are already heating up. In fact, they said traffic today will be even busier than tomorrow, with everyone making an early break for it.
Memorial Day weekend is typically damp and chilly, and no surprise, we'll have some showers. But gentle weather really, compared to the violent storms in the middle of the country. This strange weather pattern has brought more rain to California than the Northwest this Spring. They need it, we need it, we won't fight over it. But Los Angeles will only be 65 today while we hit the high 70's.
I wasn't demoted to donation processing at the Stop n' Shop yesterday, as I feared. In fact, my brain clicked with the cash register and I only had one sales void, which wasn't even my fault. The wonderful world of retail is a learning experience.
For example, if someone piles stuff on your counter, it doesn't necessarily mean they want to buy it. They might just want to talk about it for a while, then change their mind. So don't be in a big rush to ring things up and get them on their way. There's lot's of lonely people out there, and no one in that demographic is in a big hurry.
If the weather is nice, I walk to the Senior Center, about 8 blocks. If it's raining, I take Uber. All the parking lots at The Junction have 3 hour limits, and street parking is impossible in the afternoon. John is my Uber coming home, and picks me up at 4:15, which is nice. Of course, this is close to our dinner time. What to make? Here's a tasty and easy make-ahead Mexican chicken dish.
Cover and simmer gently for about 30 minutes until tender. Chill in the fridge and heat up later, it's even better. Serve with tortillas and salad.
