A short post for now, more later. Spent the last few days hanging out with my brother John, saw a couple of movies, a museum, ate good food, drank good wine and I let him win at Scrabble. It's been nice to have him here. Spent four hours this morning working with Jenn in the kitchen, cooking for a luncheon she is catering today and I am off in a couple of minutes to meet her at the site to help set up. Food, food, glorious food. Great brisket, which we enjoyed in some Texas breakfast tacos, some tasty mini-cheesecakes which we nibbled for dessert last night. Lots of other things that we were not allowed to touch.
Another hot day, I think this is Day 36 of triple digits in a row. Last night as the sun set it was 101 in Grand Prairie. This morning at 6:30 a.m. it was already close to 90 degrees. Supposed to be 111 degrees in a couple of hours, same tomorrow.
Having John here has sort of validated my comments about the heat. It's one thing to read this blog and read other articles about this Texas heat wave. It's another thing to live in it, as John has for the past four days. Just walking across the parking lot from the car to the grocery store is, as he put it, wearying. Exhausting as well. Annoying as hell.
OK, got my chef's shirt on (literally) and off to help cater. Back to you later.
