My World of Wonders: July 29, 2026

Where have I been this week? Home, the treadmill, the pool, the grocery store, the ABC store, the Dentist, Cambridge Maryland. 

What did I do in the kitchen this week? I made multi-grain bread. Macaroni and cheese and baked chicken. Pork schnitzel and a nice mushroom gravy. A cherry clafoutis. Meatballs with a stroganoff sauce, a nice sald. 

Who have I talked with this week? Amy, Giuseppe, Paul, Ruth, Rebecca, my Sweet Bear, Lillian at the Gallery in Maryland, the dental hygienist, and Doctor Z. 

What have I been writing? An article on creating retirement job descriptions and goals, written ethics materials, written materials on health-care decision making, and an article on advocacy and the National Aging and Law Conference. 

What made me angry this week? Hearing the repeated lies by Delusional Donny about an election that everyone knows he LOST. If he truly believes he won it, he is delusional - a strongly held belief that has no rational basis in fact. There is a Constitutional provision for this, Congress needs to do their job.  His delusions are dangerous. And he punishes anyone who speaks out against him.  

What am I doubting this week? That Mitch McConnell is alive. It may be that he is just an animated corpse on life support until it is too late to call a special election.  

What travel planning am I doing? I worked out some details on a road trip in October, booked air and a hotel for my Florida trip in February. When we get back from Chicago I need to work out the details on the May cruise. 

What is on the easel this week? Hmm, nothing. I have some ideas but nothing in process.

  1. That looks like a nice loaf of fresh bread. Well done David. Even when Sleepy Don is finally in his private asylum with the other ga-ga residents, he will still be crying out the same tiresome chorus about how the 2020 election was stolen from him. "Now calm down sweetie, it's time for your medication... There's a good boy...We will wake you at lunchtime - it's meatballs with a stroganoff sauce and a nice salad today....Now sleep!"
    "Is he asleep yet Marybeth?"
    "Yes. The fucker's gone off now Donna!"
    "Thank Christ for that!"

  2. The cherry clafoutis sounds like a disease and looks like the cure. McConnell is either dead or on life support. Liars.

    1. The cafoutis was cured overnight - it was gone the next day.

    1. I am much likely to spend it on gin.

  5. I loathe many in the GOP but the notion that McConnell is dead and they're hiding it so they don't lose his seat in the Senate is the lowest thing ever. And that his wife is complicit. It's just disgusting.
    I may try my hand at Cherry Clafoutis; it reminds me a little of a cobbler in appearance and I have a lot of cherries from the Framer's Market.

    1. I have made clafoutis several times. The biggest pain is pitting the cherries.
