It was a pretty sweet day. A Landfill Dinner was planned for tonight. It came together beautifully. Last evening I asked the beach urchins if they could help me come up with a dinner plan. I was all outta steam on that but I promised to do the shopping and cooking prep. Little Cat Z came through almost immediately with a Mediterranean sheet pan chicken thingy. It was perfect!

So I hit up the Plum this morning for the ingredients, then I traveled out to the new White Lotus Farms location, a small market and cafe on Zeeb Road. I wanted some of their specialty flavored goat cheese spreads although they have a lot of other good stuff too.

I have been a longtime White Lotus Farms customer. Years ago, I bought stuff from them at the farmers market. During the pandemic, I ordered their stuff for delivery from Argus Farm Stop. A couple years ago, I discovered that they had a little market at their main farm on Liberty but it had limited hours. Recently, I was checking GooMaps mainly to rediscover their hours and “White Lotus Farms Cafe” popped up on Zeeb Road. Today I finally went over there. As I came up to the counter with my goat cheese spreads, I told the clerk, “I am so glad you have this location.” Her cheerful response was, “So are we.” Indeed.

Anyway, I had a great time marinating the chicken and prepping the veggies, mainly cutting them up into biggish chunks. And prepping a simple green salad. The idea was that I would do most of the grunt work and Little Cat Z would put the sheet pan together at the end because she has a JOB and had to work today. In the end, I’m not too sure if things worked out quite that way but I greatly appreciated her help.

The GG spent a lot of the day running errands, mostly to hardware stores, of course, and packing up Mooon Yooonit including a cartop carrier. Then, if I get it right, he took a NAP.

The salad “hands” in the pic are an often used gift from my bonus daughter Pengo Janetto in Hawaii. I made a pretty big, if simple, salad and this is what was left at the end of the dinner.

So. I am missing the Olympics. I don’t normally watch them much but this year we turned them on every night and watched until we got sleepy. (Actually the TV in the back room has been on 24-7 since the Olympics began even though nobody is usually watching it.) We didn’t watch any Olympic event intensely, it was just background noise in our lives.
