Thurs 18 Jul

Somewhat sleepy this morning. I think I was drifting back down to a deeper stage of sleep when the alarm went off. That always makes it harder to wake up, a process which can last for hours in spite of exercise, shower, breakfast, etc. It doesn't help know that today is an intake morning which means I'll be in my office for hours except for brief sojourns around the building. I did wake up - yay! Morning was the right balance of busy, but not too. Had a piece of Linda Pallen's retirement cake this afternoon. Everyone agreed it was the best cake they've ever had. Gonna grill up a bunch of chicken drumsticks with tandoori seasoning. Made a bit of fresh raita. Leftovers should be good cold over the next couple of days. Oooooh, they were yummy. So simple to shake the tandoori seasoning onto skinned drumsticks and just grill. I put a little raita directly on the meat with each bite which left a delightfully cool sensation in the mouth. Now to Belt's for fresh raspberry sundae to complete the meal. Never did a raspberry/hot fudge sundae hit the spot more than tonight!
