Heat, humidity, rain, lack of power, work. In Richard’s case, I hope you have new glasses. All kinds of reasons you might be busy this week. I hope you found time to read. If you’ve read earlier blogs this week, you know I’m snowed under, using some of Sandie Herron’s posts. Thank you, Sandie!

I did take time to look through a new cookbook. I am not a cook. I like to bake. But, Sabrina Snyder’s new cookbook is a possibility even for me. It’s called Dinner then Dessert: Satisfying Meals Using Only 3, 5, or 7 Ingredients. I can handle that. I can open it up to recipes such as Apple Cider Pork or Asparagus with Lemon and Ricotta, and see meals that I can handle with little effort. Oh, I CAN cook. But, if it takes took much time or effort, I”m not interested. Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken? Yes, when three of the six ingredients are vegetable oil, salt and pepper. In the midst of reading all these mysteries, I can look at a recipe or two.

I’ll be back on my reading schedule before next Thursday. What about you? What are you reading this week?
