As of 10:21 a.m., I have made 3 batches of mayonnaise and 2 pots of coffee, brewed a gallon of ice tea, boiled 10 eggs and 8 pounds of potatoes, made 1 giant potato salad and 2 loaves of banana bread, swept the floors, cut a bouquet of purple and yellow iris, and spoken sternly to a sassy ex-8th grader. Turkey, crab-stuffed tomatoes, and baked alaska flambee are still to come. Sassy ex-8th grader has been warned not to reignite.
