Ducks and dilettante
I wandered out to put a letter in the mail and found a pair of mallards picking their way across the lawn near my building. I spoke to them in their language, but there may have been some small nuances that I was missing because they didn't pay much attention to me. On my way back I saw them slipping into our recently-refilled pool. I don't think they will find much that ducks really like in the sterile waters. Poor dears.
I am feeling a bit under the weather. My nose runs unless I am sleeping, and my voice is going hoarse. I should eat something and go to bed.
Tonight's menu: Uncle Charlie Pizza
Classically, Uncle Charlie Pizza was made by spreading ketchup on a piece of white bread, laying a slice of American cheese on top, shaking on some oregano, and cooking it in the microwave or toaster oven. My neo-gourmet Uncle Charlie Pizza will consist of homemade white bread with pizza sauce on it and mozzarella cheese. Then I will melt the cheese onto it in the microwave.
