A savory bread pudding - surely a good start to that would be to add some kind of sharp cheese? And herbs. Mushrooms. Mmmm. Sounds like a bread quiche. It has me thinking. And don't you just love it when that energy kicks in and you can see progress on household projects?

Today I realized my concrete birdbath had been knocked off of its concrete stand in front of the office window. It appears I had an attempted peeper there after dark. So - top of my shopping list is the replacement of the old motion-detector light fixture with a new motion detector-light fixture. Last spring the old one finally died and I put a dusk-to-dawn bulb in the light on the other side of the door. There is a motion detector on the front porch and the only way anyone approached the house without turning on that light is from the driveway side where the old motion detector did a good job. This morning was nice for walking so I ended up speaking with several neighbors while I was outside and they know this happened. We'll all check on our lighting setups. I have a printout somewhere of the light I wanted, I just never picked it up last spring.

I'm changing how I store some of my produce. For a long time I've used plastic bins on upper shelves but I'm starting to go back to the drawers below, though I found a vented box (Rubbermaid "Freshvent Technology") meant for lettuce and it did a great job with the last head of iceberg. I need to organize all of the small jars of infrequently used sauces (I kept them in one of the bin drawers for a while.)

A small chef's salad for lunch. I need to make more of my granola, it's a nice breakfast and a batch lasts for a couple of weeks. Food is getting more attention now that it has cooled some.
