July 21-23

July 21
Got cake for Mom’s BDay tomorrow and candles but we’ll only use 8 for each decade of her life-although she’s 87 and almost needs one more candle. . I wasn’t up for making a cake from scratch when I haven’t done it for so long—another time.

Cooked roast in crock pot; yes, the cats get some of it. It’s enough meat for a while and I’ll probably freeze part of it.

Got more small white beans and ½ doz eggs at Safeway when I was looking at readymade cakes and pricing something else. I’ve got two potatoes outside in the solar oven and also a recipe for Roman Honey Cakes—I’m not sure how that’s coming out but it’s interesting. Very patchy sun today.

DJones up this week—toay 11, 64?.00; barrel oil down to less than 125.00; gas here dropped from 4.05 to 3.99 for regular. Wacko, it’s so wacko!

Then again it’s July in Phoenix with sixty something dew points all this week.

Checked out the Fresh & Easy store a couple of miles away. Smaller store but good prices for what I’d buy small selection than Safeway but good variety and better prices

Cheers, shamba.
