Monday, January 9th, 2023 11:02 pmVery nice birthday day. Because I went out to my Japanese restaurant yesterday, I told myself I'd stay in today. I didn't. I went out to my usual bistro and had their Eggs Dilemma, which are Eggs Benedict minus the meat but with a dill hollandaise sauce that is to die for. Had two cocktails because my Cosmopolitan was *sour* dear god so I had a lychee drink to wash it down, and then had tartufo for dessert. And that must hold me for at least the rest of the month until I know that both my weight and my blood sugar are back to acceptable levels.
Came home and put a bunch of root veg into the slow cooker with chicken broth and apple cider. Should not have added the shallots as well because the kitchen stank of onion all evening. Also cooked another turkey roll to provide a week's protein.
Finished the last of the ebook Mrs. Bradleys. I have a paper book waiting for me, thanks to Incandescens, and then it will be nothing but rereads. I scout out other cozy writers, including Mrs Pargeter because I want more aged heroines, but nothing quite comes up to Mitchell's combination of weird, complicated, and WTF. Well, it was fun while it lasted, and rather more satisfying than Rex Stout or Christianna Brand, so mustn't repine.
I had no trouble going from 2020 to 2021, or 2021 to 2022, but something in me revolts at the notion of 2023. Can't say what, just that it feels all wrong to be that year.
