Lughnasa                                    Waning Artemis Moon

A wonderful lunch with chicken/leek pie, a tomato, onion and feta salad and a fruit tart for dessert.  I didn’t make it to dessert, having had two pieces of the chicken/leek pie. The number of ingredients from our own garden: leeks, onion, carrot, tomato, raspberries made the meal that much more special.

The MIA has training tonight for the 3rd Thursday evenings, a sort of hip young single crowd draw.  I decided I’d go just for fun, see what it was like.  One Thursday a month wouldn’t be a lot. Of course, I’d have to keep track with our sheepshead night.

An inside day. E-mails, sorting out tasks ahead.  Doing online stuff like ordering pink daffodils for granddaughter Ruth, same for us plus some fall blooming bulbs and more daffodils for naturalizing.  Also bought a honey cake bundt pan (Nordicware!) and an Armenian Honey Pot with Good Year written on it in Hebrew from the source for all things Jewish.  That kind of thing.  Domesticity.  Kate’s sewing and I’m doing this sort of thing.

Going up now to reheat and brown the chicken leek pie for lunch.
