Wednesday

So, I loaded up my pumpkin-cranberry turkey and went to work. I put it in the cafeteria with a knife and urged everyone to try it and give me their critique. By noon, it was three-quarters gone and at 4:30, when I went to clean up, it was just crumbs and a few larger chunks left. About 10 people actually reported back to me (one via email, which I thought was cute). All reviews were positive (not too tart, not too sweet, etc., just what I was looking for) except one. Don C. never tasted a cranberry before (?) and thought it was weird I put them in "that good cake."

I got home and changed clothes, then got to work. I replaced two more door handles, one in the hallway linen closet and one on the bathroom door. One problem, though. How do people lock the bathroom door now? Hmmm... gonna have to come up with an old-time fix for this. Maybe an ornate barrel lock?

Checked my computer and found the email regarding Jimmy Hay's death. Well, that kinda took the air out of my sail, so to speak.

I need some comfort food! So, I made linguine with white clam sauce, topped it with Parmigiano-Reggiano and ate too much of it watching TV. Cleaned up the kitchen and switched to reading until bedtime.
