My daughter does CBT today (motorbike Compulsory Basic Training) which I was dead set against as I wanted her to use 4 wheels when she gets on the road. She argues that it's my fault for putting on the back of a Superbike at the age of 5 or 6 and I suppose she's right.

TNG is currently Stateside and in New York until Wednesday. He has found New Yorkers a bit rude. I advised him before he left (from my limited time in the States) that New Yorkers are a different breed and to expect some indifference toward him.

He then goes to Vegas to meet his boss for a few days and then off to sunny LA for a couple of days and then flies home.

Sounds like fun.

Last night I used less than ¼ of the meat to make a tomato based sauce with basil and diced chicken.   It was nice over pasta and made enough for 3 meals for the two of us.  We'll probably heat some more chicken meat tonight and have with a salad or vegetable on the side.  It's reasonably moist and tender so given how many meals we'll get out of it, it wasn't hideously expensive, all things considered.  I thought of making curried chicken salad for lunch but I'd like to make it with mango chutney and we don't have any in the pantry so I made egg fried rice for lunch with the vegs that were getting older in the fridge.  Stir fry with eggs and rice.  It wasn't magical but it was economical.

When the tub chickens didn't sell we turned them into chicken salad.

I'm tired from traveling so I went to the grocer's to pick up a rotisserie chicken.  I nabbed one of the two packages in the hot chicken area.  I get home and see that I've managed to get a large rotisserie chicken breast for twice the price of a whole chicken.  They had changed the packaging so I was confused and purchased the wrong item.   And we don't really even like white meat on the bird so I'm trying to figure out what to do with this slab of bird meat.  Maybe curried chicken salad?  Soup?  White meat chicken basil sauce?  The idea was to come home and do nothing more than heat it up.  Now I have a project.  I guess I shouldn't grumble since there's plenty of people who have to do without, but I could use some more energy to deal with it.

2nd season of Walking on Sunshine not as fun.
I started watching White Lotus, mostly because I saw Walton Goggins talking about the 3rd season.  It's kind of like popcorn, sort of addictive light fare.  I've seen 2 episodes and they are ok so far, but not exactly compelling.  It probably grows on you or gets better.  Critics seem to like it, but then again, they liked 30 Rock, which you couldn't get me to watch unless I was well paid.

And, oddly, the cast seems impregnated with former SNL actors. That's not a good sign where I'm concerned, given the general lack of talent there.
