1. Kenton Bird and Gerri Sayler popped into Kellogg today.
Yesterday, Tony Teske had brought some historical Bunker Hill Company materials to me at home and my job was simple: give them to Kenton today so he can take them to the U of Idaho library.
That happened.
Even better, Kenton, Gerri, Christy, and I met at Radio Brewing for a nearly two hours of conversation and food.
We had a lot to talk about: what's up with mutual longtime friends and mutual acquaintances, what's happening in Kellogg with Bunker Hill and with specific buildings, books, kidney transplant (zzzzz), the Kellogg Public Library's challenges and what its future location might be, and more.
It was a rousing time together -- and along with great conversation, we executed the business at hand and those materials are on their way to the University of Idaho library.
2. On one of my after Sacred Heart trips to Trader Joe's, I bought a package of marinated Korean beef called Bool Kogi. I've been itching to try it out and the stars aligned today and I made a dinner using it.
More specifically, I made a stir fry.
I started by warming up a couple packets of Trader Joe's indispensable Thai Wheat Noodles.
I sliced up the Bool Kogi into smaller pieces and stir fried it in the wok along with red onion, red pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, broccoli, cilantro, and kafir lime leaves.
The flavors were terrific. I thought the beef pieces were a bit tough. If I buy Bool Kogi again, I'll experiment with ways to make the beef more tender.
But, the somewhat tough and chewy beef was not a deal breaker.
We loved this dinner and I'm a little embarrassed to say we couldn't stop eating it until all the food I prepared was gone.
No leftovers tonight!
3. Once again, this evening, I had the experience of hearing a piece of music that set a complex of dreamy, stare into the great beyond feelings into motion. It felt like those feelings ought to be connected to specific memories, but, once again, I couldn't call up those memories and so I was feeling, feeling, feeling, but not remembering what happened in my past that made those feelings come over me so strongly.
What was the piece of music?
The "Jupiter" movement of Gustav Holst's larger composition entitled, The Planets.
I'll just have to accept that my feelings are strong, but my memory is less so.
