7/30: making

...a grasshopper pie with Chris.  It's chilling in the refrigerator for tomorrow.

7/29: reading

..."The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne" by Anthony Trollope because I saw that it is on the new required reading list for all 12th grade students in Texas public schools.  I was surprised to see Trollope's name at all on the list.  I'm not sure what young people who read only this slice of Trollope's work will think of it, but I was glad to have a push to get some Trollope into my summer.

7/28: receiving word

...that some recent collaborative visual poems were accepted for publication.

7/27: mailing and making

Mailing a package of freshly-made copies of a pamphlet to my co-author.

Making a lot of copies of a past pamphlet so that a punchbowl of them that's part of a travelling exhibit can be replenished.

7/25: double

...the pies!  We'll be eating the cheese & onion pie I made yesterday for a few more dinners, and today we had a dessert pie too.  To the rich chocolate filling we added clove and cardamom.

7/24: switching

...to a savory offering in our Summer of Pies.  I made a cheese & onion pie with a saltine crust for dinner.

7/23: being able

...to check Tilde the Cat's glucose level at home.
