TGIF
Steve has a tournament tomorrow to run. I have a haircut and beading group.
Coda and Ryker will just have to be ok alone for a bit.
I'm going to try making a new salad tomorrow based on the salmon pizza I had at the art museum about 20 years ago. Salmon, capers, romaine lettuce, red onion, and ricotta-lemon dressing. I wanted fresh dill but the grocery store didn't have it. But I'm looking forward to it tomorrow morning.
I also picked up one of those sun tea jugs with a spout. I'd like to go Boston Harber Tea shop next week and pick up some nummy teas. But I'd like to have some tea to drink but also use it to make the ice cubes and then crushed ice with it to nibble on.
Currently hoping to start and stick with A BOTANIST'S GUIDE TO PARTIES AND POISONS by Kate Khavari. Debut but will probably be a series.
In 1923 London, newly minted research assistant Saffron Everleigh is determined to blaze a new trail at the University College London, but with her colleagues’ beliefs about women’s academic inabilities and not so subtle hints that her deceased father’s reputation paved her way into the botany department, she feels stymied at every turn.When she attends a dinner party for the school, she expects to engage in conversations about the university's large expedition to the Amazon. What she doesn’t expect is for Mrs. Henry, one of the professors’ wives, to drop to the floor, poisoned by an unknown toxin. Dr. Maxwell, Saffron’s mentor, is the main suspect and evidence quickly mounts. Joined by fellow researcher--and potential romantic interest--Alexander Ashton, Saffron uses her knowledge of botany as she explores steamy greenhouses, dark gardens, and deadly poisons to clear Maxwell's name.Will she be able to uncover the truth or will her investigation land her on the murderer’s list, in this entertaining examination of society’s expectations.
