Sunday

Weighing the Clilies

I removed all the stems from the chilies I picked and weighed them to see.

A Little Over 1.5 Pounds

Just over one and a half pounds/750 grams.  Not too bad!  The bag of chilies is now in the freezer.  

Sunday has been cooler and the morning was quite overcast.  The clouds cleared in the late afternoon, around 4:00 p.m.  I checked on the garden and took some pictures of flowers to do another blog post.  I watered the houseplants, crocheted a bit, and opened the new jar of Miracle Whip to make egg salad. 

I learned about the death of a member of the extended family on Sunday.  My mother's first cousin, L.  I didn't know all of my mother's cousins, but, I knew aunt L.  I remember her making me meringue kisses when I was a small child. She emigrated to Australia a long time ago, but, I met her back in the 1980s, when she and her husband visited family here, in the US.  She was a good cook and one of her granddaughters had posted a video of her telling how to make mango curry.  

Later in the evening, I spoke with cousin V and we had a nice chat.  She had just returned after visiting our cousin P who is in Florida.

Neighbor S called and asked if I ate sushi, but I had to tell her that I didn't eat sushi.  Then, she asked me if I ate grapefruit, and again, I had to tell her that I can't eat grapefruit due to a medication I am taking.  So, instead of sushi and grapefruit, she brought me:

Treats from Neighbor S

Cantaloupe, two pieces of a special Armenian bread her mother had made, an apple turnover she had made, and two pieces of a cranberry cake someone at her church had made.!  I ate the cantaloupe and a piece of the bread as part of my dinner.  Brunch had been egg salad sandwiches and I had "breakfast for dinner" - a bowl of cereal with milk, cantaloupe, and a piece of bread!

On Sunday, I was grateful for:

- The green chili harvest
- Phone calls with my cousin
- Memories of Aunt L (my mother's cousin) who passed away
- Neighbor S bringing me treats
- A relaxed day

Sunday's joyful activities included chatting on the phone with my cousin V and video chatting with my daughter.
