Busy-ness
Opened the gallery today whilst I proceeded to clean house. Sometimes you just have to. My housekeeping standards would be much higher if I had household help. Mid-day I prepared a curry for the Crockpot. Our only visitor walked in just as I was sautéing the onions and garlic. I think the fact that I was cooking in the gallery freaked him out. Oh well. Like I told him--it's a multi-use space.
The curry (a new recipe, part standard, part my interpretation) turned out fabulously! Definitely my favorite of my attempts so far. My husband grew up on curried dishes and I never gave them a thought until meeting him.
Then we ran down the mountain to pick up crating materials for the paintings going out.
Tomorrow husband has a football game so I’ll open the gallery again. Visitors seem to understand a man’s need for his football--they think it’s cute, actually. And I’ll work in the studio! Seems like it’s been awhile.
Oh, the best news! Husband got all of that nasty stuff underneath the kitchen counter at the new place out! Turns out there WAS a slab under there—just so much rotten stuff you couldn’t tell at all! Isn’t he a gem? I thought I’d have to do that nasty part myself! He’s the best!
Remember the gas company we’re having so much trouble with? My landlady went through that with them when she renovated this place and had many, many troubles, leaks, meters that did not work, and a complete unwillingness on their part to deal with it. She switched to another company. So Monday I am firing these guys and going with her company. Actually, I’d already given the new guys a call on Friday as I had pretty much already had it with these other dudes. Like pulling teeth! In the meantime we’ll put the wood stove in. Who knows? We may have gas by spring. Or not.
