Watercress-mushroom-potato soup with mildly spiced Italian chicken sausages cooked in the slow cooker.

Tossed green salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, celery from the garden, and chopped fresh oregano (also garden). Sweet onion dressing. Cheddar-chia sticks, toasted for crunchiness.

Blueberry basil kombucha.

Dessert: coconut fruit bar.

6. pizza and wings, delivered

Ms K was hungry so we ordered an early afternoon dinner. I'll probably make a bowl of noodles later.

7. Hamburgers cooked outside

with some of my pickled red onions, cheese, and lettuce. I have the potato salad cooking now.

Stone fruits are starting to come in, a bit later than usual. Mr. Retrograde scored a pound of cherries for $4 today, better than the prices I've been seeing earlier. My own sour cherry tree is just setting fruit.

8. 'Starving!' Discovered oven (or propane therein) not working well,

so put Stouffer's 'everything French bread pizza' in toaster-oven, and fingers crossed!

(Already had 2 small mangoes, and haagen coffee ice cream later.)

9. Bool galbi

The anglicized phonetic spelling varies all over the place. It's Korean grilled marinated short rib. The meat is sliced thin across the grain and sometimes across the bone. Marinate and then grill, preferably over charcoal. Served with rice and 2 kinds of kimchi.

I tried making it once by cutting the meat myself. Did not go well, as thick short rib is tough and needs to be braised; my attempt made a jawbreaking thick-to-thin mess. But my local Asian grocery, United Noodle, slices it beautifully, bone and all. They charge a serious price for it but it's worth every penny. They also stock white radish kimchi and green onion kimchi, as well as the standard Napa cabbage. White radish is my personal favorite.

So it was super easy - the meat came already sliced and the sides were already prepared. I've had the meat marinating since yesterday and I can make rice in my sleep. There's enough leftover marinated meat to grill again in a day or two.

So I'm full and happy. Spice endorphins up to my hairline.
