After yesterday’s scorching heat it was a bit gloomy today (but thankfully cooler!). We had a quiet day at Pamela’s.
I tried to style my hair this morning and ended up with… well… this:

Which looks a lot like this:

I’m going to pretend it was intentional…
It’s still far from frigid but the gloomy weather had me thinking it was a day for “Stedman Healing Medicine” (aka potato/beef soup). I took another jaunt to the market to acquire the supplies while Pamela was out playing Bridge.
The soup turned out beautifully!
Step 1: Brown beef and bones! Step 2: Carrots! Step 3: Celery! Step 4: Onions! Step 5: Beef stock! Step 6: Potatoes! Step 7: Bay Leaf! Step 8: Enjoy!
I had to make one small adaption to the recipe due to a lack of bullion. I think it was successful though (since we’re in the land of tasty cattle).

We had another leisurely afternoon capped off with good scotch and better company.
