Argh! Six Weeks . . .

without the lady of the house around.  Standards will drop. Tears will be shed. But will a new order emerge out of the chaos?  Who knows!  Only time will tell whether this blog becomes a tale of sordid decent into batchelor hell or a story of triumph over adversity.

Day one and an ominous full moon is rising.

Still, the pantry is full . . . for now.

And an easy dinner is planned with the potatoes already baking in the oven.
