On Sunday

 

Making Fish Cutlets

Daughter forwarded the pictures she took of the fish cutlets.  She forgot to take a picture of the fish and potato mixture, but, the first picture shows the formed cutlets after being dipped in beaten eggs and coated with bread crumbs.  The second picture shoes the cutlets being deep fried.  According to my daughter, the fish cutlets were a hit at the dinner with several of her friends who wanted to know the recipe and how they were made.  Which left daughter trying to figure out quantities because we didn't measure anything!  

Frying the Fish Cutlets

The potluck dinner turned out well and everyone took some leftovers.  In addition to the leftovers, daughter brought home some Vietnamese egg rolls and steamed buns that one of her friends had made for the party and kept aside for her to bring home to share with me.  Daughter had taken some extra cutlets to give that friend and apparently they were shared with the friend's parents and sister, too.  The "food-go-round" as one of my friends refers to it is very much in evidence!  LOL.

Today, Sunday, is the last day of November.  It was a cloudy, cooler day.  Both daughter and I took it easy and relaxed.  I did a load of laundry and watered the back garden.

The orange tree is full of flowers, now:

Orange Blossoms

They perfume the whole garden, especially at night.

More Orange Blossoms

The bees are loving it:

I hope the bees will pollinate the flowers and we will have a plentiful crop of oranges to enjoy next year.  This year's orange crop was a non-event as all the little fruits dropped off the tree in the spring.

Another Orange Flower, Another Bee

Friend R called in the evening and we chatted for a bit.  There was a cyclone in Sri Lanka which has resulted in severe flooding and mudslides and over 330 people dead.  It's very sad to hear and read about all the devastation.

Daughter and I had leftovers for both brunch and dinner, today.  We had Vietnamese steamed buns for brunch and Armenian rice and kebab for dinner.  

On this last day of November, I am grateful for:

- A warm and safe home
- Water for the garden
- An assortment of leftovers for meals
- Working appliances
- Packages being delivered

Today's joyful activity was spending time in the garden.

Plans for tomorrow include making milkrice for brunch, making some phone calls to set up appointments, taking the trash cans to the curb for pick up and some housecleaning.

How was your Sunday?  What are your plans for Monday?
