Tonight’s dinner: ham & broccoli risotto.

This is the rhododendron outside our kitchen window this morning, when it was like 12 degrees outside.

This is the inside of Winnie’s food box.  This evening, I found a surprise inside…  Parker!!
 

(No, he’s not hiding; I took him out before taking the picture so he’d stop eating her food.)  I then had to fix her cat door so he can’t bust through it.

Here you see a perfectly acceptable dessert, especially if you’re getting over being sick.

Parker had a small procedure done today to remove a lump on his shoulder.  The vet is pretty sure it’s benign, but we decided to have it removed anyway.  Poor Parker has no idea what just happened; he’s dopey from the pain meds and his shoulder hurts.  At least he can’t see that he’s been shaved.

I made lasagna today for the holiday pot luck at work on Tuesday.  It’s got roasted sweet potato chunks in it.

I fixed my father in law’s computer today.  He’s running Ubuntu (mostly unbeknownst to him) which makes my life easier in doing remote support.  But Thunderbird managed to get messed up in some way that I couldn’t diagnose over the phone, so I made a housecall.

I was so annoyed at the smoke detector near the kitchen tonight (“it’s not a a fire, it’s just homemade pizza, you stupid thing!”) that I flung it onto the floor to dislodge its batteries.
 

Fortunately we have a spare.

Can’t get blood from a…

Homemade gyros, made with ground lamb from the CSA.  Mmmmm.
