Leftovers Become Fine Ingredients

Today is the official start of our Holiday Leftovers Season. I reincarnated root vegetable mash as “panko-encrusted croquettes.”

Departed from tradition: cooked a goose on the Weber.

Tweaked our routers to improve the WiFi signal around the house, and to reduce overlap with neighbors’ signals.

It was time to fix a few niggling things around the house, including replacing this cracked drawer bracket.

Prepared Minnesota sweet corn to be barbecued in the husk tonight.

Today was the big window-cleaning day. As usual, Phil and Pete did a stellar job.

Set up a TiVo for over-the-air and streaming. (We don’t have cable or satellite.) The old one died after nine years.

Beans with dinner tonight. I planted the seeds at the end of May.

Today’s trip: mailbox to recycling bin, unopened. I try to approach each journey as a prototype for the next one.

I’m satisfying a craving for Japanese comfort food: katsudon (panko pork cutlets), short-grain rice, curry sauce.
