Shabbat food

• grape juice, rolls
  
• soup: peregion beans, already-sauteed onions and leeks, collards, fingerling potatoes, turnip, dried woodears, black pepper, all roughly pureed
  
• baked sweet potatoes
  
• broccoli sauteed with onions (but no fresh water chestnuts, because I ran out of time)
  
• chicken baked with apricot-peach-passionfruit preserves mixed with tamari

unexpected chipotles in adobo (what do I do with them?)

winning a game of Scrabble (bingo!)
emails from faraway people (to whom I owe responses...)
last-minute Shabbat guests
a late-night visit to the MIT science fiction library
starting to be more active/in a better brain space than I have been in weeks

and happy leap day, during the leap month :-)
