I'm not a *fast* cook and I am working on things like timing, so that things come together pretty well at the end, especially if components won't hold up or stay warm til dinner is plated and served. It took longer than I expected, but my Cottage Pie is assembled, topped, and in the oven.

And then the physical effort: pushing around a heavy loaded cart and going back and forth with my list bc I didn't know where to find things. Then carrying in at home and putting away. Then I rested. Then I took 2.5 hours to make dinner and we ate around 9pm. I don't have spoons today for much. 😵💫

I was going to do things today. But yesterday's 2.5 hour grocery store trip was something I wanted to see if I could handle alone.

Last night, I took on the French meal. I made pan seared roasted duck breast in an orange-rhubarb white wine reduction sauce with haricot vert almondine and the rest of the Pino Grigio to drink. More effort and new techniques and ingredients to me. So delicious.

I still have to make this French duck breast meal that is new to me. I need to do laundry tonight, too. Boyfriend needs breakfast in the morning. I think I can make him another Canadian bacon egg and cheese sandwich and then batch cook breakfast burritos for us for a week after he leaves for work.

Had leftovers instead of the French duck breast meal last night. So it's tonight. We didn't grocery shop last weekend and I went alone and shopped in-store today. I didn't know where things were. I had a list. 2.5 hours and mild panic attacks later and I was back home with food put away.

History teaches us that the way to stand up to a dictator is to fight back against him, not capitulate to him. Surrendering to tyranny invites more of it. This moment we're in should not be met with a "moderate" response. Luckily, some Democrats starting to understand this.
