Last Tuesday dawned sunny, breezy, and summertime perfect, and the house pooch Sumner and I could not wait to get outside and enjoy it as we started our day. I grabbed my first cup of joe before the brewing cycle was complete and had the camp chairs set up in the shade of the giant Bradford pear that looms over the Grove. There was frolic time for Sumner and the neighbor's delightful puppy Zoey, followed by reveling in a quiet respite before moving on with the tasks and plans of the day. I'd spent the day before conducting a virtual session with new teachers and administrators at Dakar Academy and depended on leftovers that previous night. It was nice to get back to regular kitchen endeavors Tuesday evening, when Mookie was on hand for dinner. Tuning in to the latest hearings of the January 6th Select Committee left no time for a store run; instead, I pulled out prepped frozen vacuum-sealed pork chops, sent them to the sous vide immersion circulator for the necessary interval, and finished them with a good searing in the cast iron skillet. Roasted Brussels sprouts and roasted spiced potatoes went alongside.
