Dorothy, I'm so glad you're feeling excellent! Yes, you've been away from the thread for a while - so there is a gap in the record. Where have you been and how long were you away, or are you talking about having been in the city for a long time and finally going back to Beaver for a visit?

Gingered chick peas sounds interesting!

And yes, it's an ungodly mess down here. Lots of writing and calling our representatives going on. Pushing back where we can. Suggesting to our senators that they should impeach Trump and get it over with, once and for all.

It has been a busy week, tomorrow is quiet. Also a day for not spending as part of a protest. We'll have to see if it works or if the MAGA crowd spends like crazy (those whose news sources don't tell them about what is going on.) I'll be working on the garden, and maybe scanning at the museum, I haven't been there in quite a while.
