Saturday

Things done. Much done. Felt productive. Enjoyed Houdini's company for ranch rounds and a feed run. Moved another cabinet/shelf into Studio (recovered same from Hospital) before the feed run. Then off to Laundromat because washer is still on binnacle list since I wasn't here to reimburse repairman for work. Will remain on binnacle list for a while, I'm afraid, as I shall be travelling a bit again later this week.

Served as guinea pig for Herself's cooking plans; she'll be the Feastcrat for the Summer Arts and Sciences event in Baja Jorja. I tell ya, life as a guinea pig for a cook can be really rough. Yeah, rough. Uh huh.

Time to go round on the Ranch again. It is overcast and drizzling.

Her game plan, since it's a summer event here in Baja Jorja, is cold servings, meats with dipping sauces. So far I've sampled beef with an Italian herb blend-red wine sauce, chicken (specifically tenders) with a ginger-roasted garlic cider vinegar/extra virgin olive oil dipping sauce and a pureed ginger-orange preserve cider vinegar sauce, and spicy pork & goat sausage with the roasted garlic/ginger sauce above. We tried it also with a sour cream dip, but it really wants something more like a gyro yogurt sauce.

Tonight will be beef and goat sausage, same as above. The sausage is coated with ground, toasted cumin (Herself did the toasting & grinding), black pepper, sweet paprika and... oh, some other things. *G*
