Sunday, for the first time in a long time, I had a day where I did nothing related to my consulting, Theodora, or Rotary. This was in large part due to the events of my most recent trip to Ghana combined with Wife getting the green light to ditch the boot. The former has led to a lot less work required from me, the later has allowed me to reengage in the joy (at least for me) of travel planning.
I spent the whole day talking to the daughters, cooking, and researching travel (accommodations and airfare) for a trip to SE Asia we are planning for early 2026.
I made cole slaw for the first time. For a dish with just two ingredients as a base, I was surprised at how it did not come out as I hoped. Like a lot of dishes with few ingredients, the technique and proportions of things become quite critical. I will try it again for sure.
I also smoked a ton of meat for our freezer. I did a rack of ribs which we tried on Sunday. I also did a pork shoulder for pulled pork which I will finish today (Labor Day) using the two step process I pioneered in June.
Today, I will need to do some work.
