Potatoes in the Mist

  My oldest nephew (he was born when I was in high school) has a daughter who is starting kindergarten in Brooklyn today. I hope she has an awesome day 😊

I went swimming in the ocean with my youngest. I got out of the habit for a while after a jellyfish stung me. But I’m glad I went tonight ❤️

 My youngest was having a loud phone conversation with a friend and I slipped out the door and went swimming in the pool. It’s been a while since I did that, and I forgot how much I like swimming at night. I remembered when I was in high school and worked at Taco Bell (I know! Yuck!) and I would come home from a late shift, strip off my uniform, and jump in the pool. 

 I made one of my favorite recipes today (Chrissy Teigen’s sesame chicken noodles) but I put in the full amount of cayenne pepper she recommended. Folks, this was a mistake. 

Chris came home from camp (after some drama with a canceled flight) and now he has his heart set on going to all-you-can-eat sushi. Eric picked a place in Queens. I was skeptical at first, but the photos look good. 

 It’s been a fun summer but a crazy one. Today, Chris was going to fly back from camp in California to NYC. Then all flights to JFK got canceled for weather reasons. (The weather app says there’s a chance of thunder.) Hopefully this will work out smoothly. P.S. it did work out 👍
