September 19, 2022 Breakfast - Chai and Fig Bar Lunch - French Onion Soup. Dinner - Trader Joe’s Chicken Tikki Masala and Rice and Fresh Greens

I woke up at 7:00 and watched the Funeral for QEII but missed the first funeral in Westminster Cathedral with a cup of chai and a fig bar for breakfast.

I spent several hours today revising and updating my insurance coverage for my art.

At 1:00 I fetched the casserole of PPI French Onion Soup from the garage and heated it. I sliced and toasted a whip olé wheat dinner roll and lay slices of Jarlsberg cheese on each toasted half and melted the two halves for 23 seconds in the microwave to melt the cheese. I ladled soup into a bowl and lay the two pieces of bread on the heated soup and voila, I had a bowl of wonderful French onion soup in 10 minutes.

After lunch I continued my art insurance project until 4:00 and then rested and watched Ari Melber.

Suzette came home around 4:30. She asked me what I wanted for dinner and after I was ambivalent she said she would look in the freezer.

At 5:30 I joined her in the TV room and discovered that she was defrosting a package of Trader Joe’s prepared Chicken Tikki Masala.

I spread Boursin French cheese on pita chips as we watched Shepard Smith’s news program with Suzette.

At 6:00 Suzette went to the garden and picked a basket full of different kales and some chard. I destemmed the greens’ leaves and then diced 2 oz. of red onion and 2 cloves of garlic.

Suzette stir fried the onion and garlic and then added. 2 cups of PPI rice and finally the chicken Tikki Masala in the wok.

She fetched a beer and poured 1/2 in a glass for me and then served the one dish meal with the apple and raisin chutney Suzette made with apples from our tree. And I fetched the Swad mixed pickle.
