Monday evening, I had the pleasure of talking to family and friends via Skype. Earlier in the day I had completed the post regarding Genoa. After that, I forgot to add an entry to the blog for the day. It was an average Monday, though, slightly rainy, with time to study in the morning since school was in the afternoon.
When I arrived home, it was a shock to hear that there had been more nuclear plant explosions in Japan. This multiplies by the thousands the tragedy of the earthquake and tsunami.
Today, Tuesday, I needed to shop for groceries. I’ve decided to make a Lemon Meringue Pie this week with the lemons I bought in Menton, so my task was to find the other ingredients. I was fairly successful. The only thing I could not find was lard or a decent substitute, like Crisco shortening. My choices are to find a charcuterie (a shop that sells pork) that might have some, or find a recipe that uses oil. The second choice would be easier, I think.
I was going to do a load of laundry, too, but it was raining again and not a nice day to hang things on the line outside my window. Now I see that tomorrow will be another rainy day. I don’t have a choice, however. It must be done.
After school, I completed my shopping list by stopping at the fruit and vegetable grocer near there before walking home. Once home, Michele tells me again about the ongoing tragedy in Japan. I hope the world can respond quickly to the needs of the people.
That’s all I have for today, Dear Reader.
