Did it!!!

Saw some dear friends at Petaluma Market and spontaneously invited them to dinner. With 15 minutes lead time, I was able to pull a rabbit out of the hat thanks to a now well-stocked pantry and "BB" (Baumhefner Basics). Our guests picked Chuck up at the bus stop.
I did a "yellow fish/green fish" paper-package-to-plate miracle in 20 minutes thanks to my friend Nancy Niver. The rest was all about FLOATING through the kitchen and being present to a workday evening. Great ending to an otherwise kwaaazy day.
