What do you do when you finish off a big project? A project that turned out to a bigger headache than planned? And it’s too early to start drinking?

Right now, I’m blasting music and cooking. I’m making chicken broth using the frozen remains of roterissie chickens, carrots, celery, onions and parsley. I’ve got a surplus of basil, so I’m throwing it all in the food processer with olive oil and then freezing it in ice cube trays. I’m making a grocery list for Sunday’s party for my cousin and his new bride. 19 hungry people require much food.

Summer was interrupted for two weeks. It’s good to back.
