My culinary mode the past two days could probably be classified as Southern Weird. Lunch yesterday was green tomato and okra soup, seasoned with leftover Easter ham. And breakfast was a 5M sandwich - mortadella, Muenster, and mint with mayo and mustard. I also cooked three pounds of bacon. Any fool who wants to insist that I'm not Southern or American can stuff it.

Harvesting the mint reminded me that I had no idea what had happened to the Kentucky Derby field since January. So I checked in here and there, and for you hunch bettors, the longshots in the field include a bay colt named Midnight Bourbon and a gray colt named Soup and Sandwich. (And they even shared a recent headline because they worked out the same morning . . .)

Tonight's English country dance gathering featured beautiful playing by Dave Wiesler. And speaking of ECD, I'm in the leftmost file in this mosaic a UK nyckelharpist assembled earlier this month:
