1) Last night I came home totally done in about 7:00. But I was not quite too done in to make your wonderful cabbage curry and eat it for dinner with the hot rice I'd phoned and asked Brian to put on (it took time because it was brown rice, but it was still great with cabbage curry.)
2) There's boarding-school tomato chutney in the fridge awaiting its next slice of bread.
3) Tonight, we make your ground beef kebabs!
4) During the pandemic, after winning a teaching award that came with (gasp) actual money, I bought an e-bike. I knew I wasn't really fit enough to ride a proper bike up and down these mountains, but e-bikes give people like me the legs of Olympic sprinters, and I wanted a fun outdoor way to commute to work. I also wanted a non-car option in case the world fossil fuel production crashed, but electricity somehow survived, because the nearest grocery is five miles away. I haven't ridden it too crazy much, mostly because, for all the reasons you mention, I'm afraid of car drivers, but this month I'm committing to finding places to bike more or less safely, and, lo--it's fun! It feels a lot less like a workout than weights or walking (though more like one than gentle yoga). So, no pork today, but--bike! :-) But cabbage! But skewered beef! xoxo
