Took my first “proper” shower since Monday, the best part of it was being able to let my arm out of that GDMF sling and just letting it hang straight down for a minute or so. Joy can be found in the smallest things 
This was followed by a reasonable attempt at washing my hair in the kitchen sink. Gotta roll with the punches.
It was also nice to get dressed in real clothes & leave the house for our friends’ lamb dinner, where we saw several folks we hadn’t hung out with in a while. Of course, each time someone tried to hug me, I had to scream “no touch no touch” 
The leg of lamb looked luscious, but it was on the blander side.
Sides were a perfectly dressed salad,
and roasted root vegetables with B sproutz.
My plate. My PIC had to cut the meat for me 
Dessert was a lovely, wonderfully moist ginger cake with whipped cream.
It was the first time in about a week that I had a couple of glasses of wine, so that was nice, too. We were home before midnight.

This concerns the Velveeta. I always keep the smallest container of Velveeta I can find on hand. That is because I may decided to make some mac and cheese. My main cheeses in mac & cheese (depending on mood) are cheddars, Gouda, Provolone, and Fontina - leaning heavily on cheddars. However, I always put a bit of Velveeta in. Velveeta brings a smoothness, velvetiness to mac and cheese that no real cheese can. That is my opinion.

Just buy some sodium citrate, it’s cheap and keeps forever - it’s responsible for the smooth consistency when adding Velveeta

A craving kicked in a few days ago. I have no idea where it came from, as I don’t recall having made something like it before. But cravings cannot be denied, and it was satisfied today: sheet pan chicken and vegetables.
I used the link’s recipe, cutting back the paprika to 1 tsp, but adding 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried lemon zest and 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice to the seasoning mix (and a bit more olive oil) that everything is tossed in before going into the oven, and using halved baby potatoes and 1/4 sweet onion vs red onion.
There was wine.

We enjoyed another sensational dinner at Fiorentini, in Rutherford, NJ, including an excellent duck confit risotto with kale puree; fantastic mussels gratinate with chile, pancetta, and bread crumbs; melt in your mouth beef cheeks; raviolone stuffed with a creamy egg yolk; radicchio salad with orange compote, glazed beets, pumpkin seeds, honey-chile dressing; a decadent ferrero rocher dessert to go. It all went great with a couple of excellent cabernets.
