| Sunday at 4:45 |
It's 8:45 and I still cannot see beyond our yard, only the trunk and fingers of our maple and leaf coverd lawn are visible. And its been this way all morning. It's a chilly 36º outside and it looks like a couple of nice days before a storm mass arrives on Wednesday.
Yesterday felt like a Sunday, a day of rest, the way it's supposed to be. We took it to heart and literally did nothing most of the day, sitting inside, cosy on our couch, often with a blanket, enjoying a good book, watching some TV, either football or some other show and feeling 'guilty' about it. Go figure.

| A Garden At The Chautauqua Institution |
We did, however, get a walk in yesterday morning, the Chautauqua Institution loop we usually take, about an hour of exercise. It was in the 40's, perfect for walking, lots of leaves on the paths, trees and bushes at their peak. It's always fun to see what houses have been taken down, a start up in its place. Perhaps building is slowing down because we have only noticed one, next to the Packard Manor although there look to be many renovations going on as always. After our walk, we drove to Tops in Mayville, did some shopping, and as we walked out, I jokingly asked Evie if she bought coffee filters (I paniced Sunday morning because we were out). She hadn't, forgetting to scroll down her iPhone! Pretty funny. So she went back in, found the coffee filters, as I got the car.

When we got home, Evie made our Sunday breakfast of eggs, bacon and bagels, and we watched CBS Sunday morning. Overnight, I had soaked a pound of cannelloni beans. I am determined to start eating more beans because they are so healthy and I want to use a pressure cooker to cook them. So we both fussed with our pressure cooker, trying to figure out how to use it, how long to cook the beans. The manual for the cooker said to cook beans for 3 or 4 minutes; the guide from the Internet said 12 minutes, of course. We chose 11 minutes and the beans came out overcooked but still good enough for kuru fasulye, an easy Turkish dish, their comfort food, of sauteed onions, tomato paste and red pepper, added to the beans and water. It sounds bland but isn't and I love it, especially over rice. It's a Turkish peasant's cheap and filling and tasty go to dish. I will keep experimenting until I get it right, whether with white beans or black.

We enjoyed another long and picturesque cocktail hour, as the sky afforded us plenty of photo ops, as the moon appeared before it got dark, above the clouds. Amazing. We had a great dinner of potatoes, TJ's ribs, and coleslaw and watched The Good Wife, saving Homeland and The Affair for another night. I am fast into Robert Galbraith's(J. K. Rowling) third novel, CAREER OF EVIL, following the one legged PI, Cormoran Strike.
It's now 10:20 and the fog is just beginning to lift. O, yeah, we both got up late.
