I'm on the deck now, having just breakfasted. First load of laundry is in the washer, with another in queue. Dinner is soon to be prepped for later baking--meatloaf, which isn't exactly a hot weather dinner but oh well. Made a 7-grain pilaf/roasted veggie salad y'day for a side dish. Meals for the week.

Made roasted veggie hummus y'day as well. Red pepper. Zucchini. Carrots. Sauted the garlic to take the bitter edge off. Oh my, this is a keeper.

I wanted to go see HP7.2 today, but no go. Too much to do. Early start required at the day job tomorrow, so can't stay up late, either. Once again, Sunday will go too quickly.

The latest LJ DDoS issue has convinced me that it's time to give WordPress a try. The great tech support that is SFFNET has already installed it on my site, and soon Miz Ruta and I will be adjusting some theme or other to suit. I spent part of last night going through said themes--the one I loved was only offered on WP itself, drat it--and settled on 4. I think I know which is the winner but won't know for sure until we try colors on it.

This will mean a redesign of the website, which will be slight or stripped down to the joists depending. I will likely keep the Mists by The Gates photo because I love it, but colors and the books pages etc may change. It was time, I guess. Clean-Out 2011 continues.

Early Sunday dinner. Meatloaf. I followed Ina's recipe pretty much, except that along with the 1 2/3 lbs of Flying-S ground beef I added 12 oz hot Italian sausage.

It's a keeper. Unbelievably moist, even though I bakes it on the sheet pan atop a piece of parchment paper. And I can't imagine how hot that sausage really is because I still tasted a bit of a kick.

Served it with some of the 7-grain pilaf and green salad. Winner winner. Stuffed now, and trying not to pick at the leftovers.

Finally!

One of the cherry tomatoes is starting to ripen.
