Wake up! Kind of tough on a dark, cloudy Sunday morning, but I've just discovered that a late breakfast of (reheated) spicy, garlicky falafel, in a warm pita with creamy, oniony yogurt sauce, gets the blood a'flowin', hoooooeeeey! No one will want to come near me all day, but that's OK. It's a curl-up-with-a-book kind of day anyhow.

Until...our late afternoon baseball game - yes, baseball! This time Fall Ball. Much more low-key than the regular season and much less potentially dramatic and testy. Let's hope, anyhow. I've had my fill of petty jealous intrigue for the year, let me tell you. Here's a garlic-breathed cheer for adults acting like...adults! Woo hoooooooooo!

For dinner? Something with avocados, me thinks, I've got two perfectly ripe babies sitting on the counter. Perhaps something as simple as toasted sandwiches, hmmm. Stay tuned...

Well, after a a chilly, drizzly walk (no baseball - rain out), I decided a simple soup would fit the bill this evening, as well as toasted sandwiches. I made a quick version of tomato soup, almost as quick as the Campbell's classic, but to me, an edible one (I know, potential blasphemy, but bear with me). With sandwiches of toasted cheese, yes, but also tomato and a few slices of avocado. Takes the dorm-room classic up a notch while maintaining the comfort-food factor. Nice on a Sunday night!
