The grapes of wrath

 

Check out these grapes, Natty!  Aren't they huge?  I have fairly big hands, too.  I don't have any particular reason for calling them "the grapes of wrath" other than that they're awesomely big.  And juicy!  I suppose we could worry about the state of fresh fruits and veggies these pandemic days, after all, they can't be cooked.  But I suppose they are of less risk than breathing in the air that has been spewed out by some infected blowhard.  I think these are from China.  Want some?

Dinner was nice and simple.  The basil in my yard is looking really good again, so I wanted to cook some chicken breast.  I have a pot with a Pyrex glass lid, which I usually use to steam things in.  I put a little grease at the bottom then a huge handful of basil, covered that with a grille, then laid the chicken breast which had been seasoned with salt and pepper on the grill.  I put the lid on, set the fire to very low, then watched it cook.  The chicken was overcooked unfortunately: I should have pulled it out when I shut off the fire, instead of leaving it in there.  Otherwise, it was a success.  I poured the grease (which had turned into juice) and the basil leaves on the chicken and some steamed tofu, and ate it with steamed white rice.  Mild, but flavorful.  Want some?

Second Life was running maintenance today, so I don't know if anyone got to see Mary Unknown7 sing.  We were having login and outfit problems, but we managed to get her fully clothed right at the time she had to start singing.  The stream was working though, so alhamdulillah.
