Mid-Year

June is always rainy in Vancouver. Well, not always but often enough so I can say it always rains in June. It isn’t currently raining, but it will, soon.

The weather for the rest of the week is looking pretty good, thankfully.

It’s about this time of year (and again in Mid-December) when things kinda fall off the rails, food-wise. We were going to go to Italy this summer, but that is off the table, obviously. So we’ll go to the lake, instead. We leave early July and in the next two weeks it’s going to be a major challenge to get through the days, as everyone is looking for a few days off.

I’m not sure how it is that everyone can just go and go and go and then barely deal, but that’s how it works in our household.

Of course, it is an excellent opportunity to eat up all the frozen things we have, as well as revisit some family favourites. Meals for the next two weeks aren’t about ‘interesting’, they’re about ‘easy’ and ‘surviving’.

Come mid-July we’ll be (hopefully) energized again.

Man, I need a vacation, somehow more this year than most.
