Grooming day

Much to their dismay, the cats were taken in for a grooming today, bundled up in their carry all bags, bellies empty and fire in their eyes. And as an extra penalty, the pet grooming salon was flooded from some kind of leak from the floors above, so a dirty brownish water covered everything. We were all too happy to leave the caterwauling animals and go up to Fairway Market in Harlem where we stocked up on produce for the holiday week coming up. If you get there early in the morning its not such an aggravation to shop there. I got a nice slab of hake for tomorrows supper.

The photo on the left is last night's dinner -- mustard/mint lamb rib chops with red potatoes with provencal spices. It was pretty good, but cleaning up the brazier was a pain.
