Three Beautiful Things 06-11-2025: I Slept In, Crossword Puzzle Peace, Debbie Said It Was Perfect

1. Jess Walter's book launch Tuesday night stimulated me. Stopping for a loaded burger at Capone's extended my night beyond my usual bedtime, as did gabbin' with Debbie when I returned home. 

I didn't rise and shine until 9 a.m. this morning. 

Very unusual.

Also refreshing. 

2. I continued my effort to make peace with the Thursday NYTimes crossword puzzle when it came out at 7 p.m. this evening. I would say I 95% succeeded -- I did unlock the puzzle's theme and "gimmick" but stumbled a little bit as I wrote in the first word that fit the clue and gimmick, but nailed everything else. 

3. Debbie wanted white fish and sautéed zucchini and onion with white rice for dinner. 

No problem. 

I used the electric frying pan to cook the onion and zucchini and used it to cook two tilapia fillets. 

I made a pot of jasmine rice. 

Debbie's response, having served herself and as she dug in: PERFECT! 

Made my day.
