Simple, easy, tasty. Sometimes just what the heart desires.

I’m not sure how I got here, but I have become a Beatles song age today. 
I’m definitely losing my hair.
I don’t send myself birthday greetings, but I always buy myself a bottle (or 6) of wine. (Like DUH!)
I would love to rent a cottage every summer in the Isle of Wight.
But I doubt I could stay out until a quarter to three. (I’m too old for that shit.)
But then again there are those times when I feel like a Five For Fighting song age (pick any of them in that song, and they all apply. 
)! So you’re only as old as you feel at the time, right?
I had a lovely day on my own today. Up to Newburyport to shop at various stores (chocolates, bread, a farm for my unpasteurized cider and cider donuts, and apples because I decided not to pick them this year).
Dinner tonight was pan-seared duck breast with a char siu and fresh ginger glaze, Israeli couscous and steamed asparagus (a little over what I prefer).
There WAS copious amounts of wine, and there will be chocolates for dessert.
All in all, it was really good day.

Happy Birthday @LindaWhit ! It looks like you had a fabulous celebration. It seems that you, Mrs. P, and I all turned into a Beatles song this year 
I don’t know where the years went. They just flew by.

A couple of dishes from COTM Thali by Maunika Gowardhan for dinner tonight.
Goan Fish Ambotik, Rajasthani Palak (Spinach) Dal, leftover okra, chapatis from the freezer, and rice+quinoa from the fridge. I cooked the dal yesterday, adjusted spicing and added the spinach tonight.
Lovely meal for not a lot of effort.
