 October 26, 2025 Brunch - Fried Pork Chop, onion, and Eggs. Snack - Lebanon Bologna Sandwiches Dinner - Roast Duck with Sautéed Red Cabbage and Salad

I awakened at 4:45 and worked on my pleading until 7:15 when I watched Aston Villa beat Man City. At 8:30 we drove to the estate sale at the Meadows and I bought a recumbent Catrike three wheel bike and two ceramic pots  Then we drove home and made brunch of sautéed pork chops, a slice of onion, avocado toast with a slice of tomato garnished with a sprinkle of basil saltand three fried eggs.

Then I harvested the small amount of tarragon because some had already died and a full bag of oregano. Then Suzette harvested 1/2 of a big bag. We intend to mix those three herbs with some of the basil salt.

At 1:30 I made three Lebanon salami, red onion, and lettuce sandwiches on toasted baguette spread with mayonnaise With Carlsberg beer and three dill pickles.

Then I drove the bike to REI and filled the tires.  When I returned home I rode the bike around the neighborhood and fell in love with the bike. The gears and derailleurs worked perfectly and I did not push the pace but still felt tired upon returning home. The only problem with the bike is that the seat is low and I am not strong enough to get out of the seat without assistance. Suzette helped lift me out of the seat. Perhaps I will get stronger or we will put a pull bar on the garage.

I then thawed 1/2 of a duck from the freezer and then rested until 6:00.

I then sliced 1/3 of a red onion the Suzette sautéed with the 1/4 sliced red cabbage and cumin in olive oil.

I chopped about six leaves of romaine, a tomato, and 1/2 of an avocado to the cucumber, red onion, and cherry tomato salad and dressed it with the remaining Dijonnaise dressing.

I opened a lovely bottle of Cotes Du Rhone I bought at Costco.

We ate and ate and then watched our favorite shows on PBS. Miss Fisher and some football and thembMagreit and then after a busy day we went to sleep.

Bon Appetit
