I made pasta salad with arugula and spinach, pesto red wine vinaigrette, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, fresh mozz, pepperoncini, and grape tomatoes, topped with chicken. Good and easy.

My frequent Friday dinner, gladly busted all to hell with my year-long delayed night out at Dali.
My Saturday dinner…I had other plans. Plus I didn’t get these until Saturday afternoon.
So it became a Sunday night dinner: Steak tips from my local butcher, with Ballymaloe steak sauce, a big-ass half baked tater with TPSTOB and sour cream, and roasted Brussels sprouts with homemade garlic powder-herb-dried orange peel blend. And wine.
And I have tomorrow off as one of our company’s holidays…even though we don’t usually have Patriots Day off (it’s a Boston holiday only, plus Maine). But I’ll take the sleeping-in day.

What is orange pepper ragù?
Today was a loooooooong but productive day. Some of you know that I co-manage a nonprofit (museum/historical society) in my ever dwindling spare time. Well, aside from a few special outdoor events, we have essentially been closed for a year+. Well, we are reopening in a few weeks and today was our first “clean up” day as we get the 128 year old Victorian mansion in shape. It’s relentless work.
This was my post clean up snack:
And dinner several hours later was my BF’s Asian honey-chili beef over Jasmine rice. And several pink lemonade vodka and club sodas.
How is it that my volunteer job is more work and stress than my two “real” jobs? I’m exhausted!

And a “128 year old Victorian mansion” doesn’t suck. 501c3 property tax exemptions for the win-win! Hopefully.
