This morning a blonde woman I have spoken to many times on my dog walks was overdosing on our street. I called the police and they called the ambulance. She refused to go with them to the hospital. Instead she stumbled down the street to the local drug-dealer's apartment building.
Fighting erupted because the dealer Mr M didn't want her attracting police attention. Ultimately the landlord and police all did get involved. Lots of shouting!! A day in the real world of our neighborhood but I wouldn't live anywhere else.
So I made colorful coleslaw with red and green cabbage and pickle juice, celery, onion, buttermilk, Sriracha hot sauce, Adobo, mustard, red wine vinegar, and Hellman's mayo. Delicious and festive.
I just made eggplant tomato sauce after a week of planning to grill eggplants that I had prepped (salted and drained) but not getting around to it.
Next I plan to cook brown rice because I love it with the coleslaw.
Last night I made honey Dijon potato salad with olive oil, vinegar, and Adobo, pressure-cooked with celery and onion. It's excellent cold.
I used to be a prep chef for a living. I loved it! I felt like a dancer on my feet in the Alice in Wonderland kitchen. Everything was HUGE.
Last night we discovered a mouse had chewed a hole in a plastic container of Irish oats and a bag of flour. We cleaned everything, put some ingredients in glass jars, and put the plastic containers in the freezer.
Hiding in the back of the mess was the old fashioned ice cream churn. I cleaned the dust off and I might just make some. I'll need to drive to the farm or the store for the cream.

The outdoor pool opens soon!
Love your crazy family & neighbors.
