Friday, with errands

Started with phone calls: to the two contractors who haven't come back with their subs so they can bid the kitchen, to the Honda dealer to find out if they'd ordered the part for my broken turn-signal canceller (no, will do it now...), to the vet for an appointment for Agatha, who has a lump at the site of her recent surgery which was for a non-cancerous lump, to the service company to schedule a safety inspection/cleaning of the furnace.

The the errands: Target, my Weight Watchers meeting, the grocery store, then home to put up the groceries and eat lunch. Then the Container Store to return a pre-Christmas purchase (and of course I bought stuff--CS is like a goody basket for me. Kitchen stuff! Neat containers! Organizers! Then it was on to the broker to deposit a check, to a bookstore for the MMPB of Irresistible Forces, and to the library. Only undone item was to get to the credit union, but that ca wait.

Am now cooking the chicken for dinner: Chicken Kyoto, because when I was making the marinade for a grilled chuck roast last weekend I inadvertently mixed up 1/4 c. ketchup and 1/3 c. soy sauce as the base, instead of 1/4 c. ketchup and 1/3 c. red wine vinegar with a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce (and other stuff). But I remembered that the mistake mixture makes the sauce for Chicken Kyoto if you add rosemary, so I saved it. Sister-in-law will provide the veggies to go with it.
