1. Dinner? The coldest items behind door #1.

So warm here so I’m going to have an Independence Day free-for-all. Open the refrigerator door and be random.

~Maybe some cottage cheese, watermelon, leftover chicken grilled with tomatoes and kale.

~ Pudding for dessert

~Lemon water

3. Not a clue - will update later

I was awakened by thunder from an unscheduled nap. Strong storms in all directions except the north. We have a storm warning for the next half hour. TJ will head out to work later and there are a lot of power failures in that direction so traffic lights will be out.

I'm making a mug of Irish breakfast tea and will consider food a little later. A little porch sitting to view the storms might be good.

7. Thanks

I've been looking at https://poweroutage.us/area/state/virginia and mousing over my county and city and see that little dot of Charlottesville in Albemarle County is at 38% off.

4. Vanilla pudding.

I came down with the flu. Probably something I caught at my friend's funeral.

Hoping for a quick recovery for you.
