November Sunday

I'm being cheered this morning by Slow Girl Foods steel-cut oatmeal, "handmade with quinoa, agave nectar, and local fruits & nuts," and by Venezuelan coffee in my cafetière.

I'm on my way to the farmers' market in search of Blenheim apricots and good ollalieberry jam, honey crisp apples (a new invention this year?) and chard to go in Israeli couscous with cumin and saffron.

Then what?  Perhaps working on my Mallorcan mystery, happily immersed in that extraordinary island's culture, while ignoring the chores that clamor for my time and energy.  Weekends should be enjoyed!
