Picked up two packages, then went to Gelson's and got two chicken breasts and an onion, came home and made faux stroganoff, which was really good - over rice.  I made one and a third chicken breasts.

Then all these Facebook people started posting ACTIVE SHOOTER AT THE TOPANGA MALL!  First off, enough with the active shooter BS - what other kind of shooter is there?  Passive?  And it wasn't an active shooter, no shots were fired, it was a smash and grab robbery attempt.

Then I got a PM from an old friend telling me her sister had passed away - I was very enamored of the sister when I was going to LACC and we spent a lot of time together.  At some point, the sister changed her first name from Patti to Kirsten because there were two Pattis in her family.  I saw her many times over the years - last time was when all the sisters came to see my production of Inside Out.  Apparently she was suffering from some disease that cause dementia.  She was a couple years younger than me.

My friends Gary and Janice were there. I hadn't spent much time with them recently, so it was good to catch up. She recently retired as executive director of the local Animal Defense League. They had with them their 13-year-old dog, Robin, who has cancer and may not be with us much longer. She was lively and lovely, if a bit deaf, and we made sure she had a great weekend.

The Animal Defense League is a wonderful organization.

May Robin continue to be lively & lovely for a good while.

I didn't see anything on facebook.  When I see "active" I read that as happening at the moment they posted about the shooter.  It is a sad world when people fear a smash & grab robbery is a shooter.  I can tell you though, from personal experience, a big plate of glass breaking is a very scary sound.

I've gotten to the part of The Power Broker where Joe Papp is trying to set up Shakespeare in the Park. Fascinating clash of wills, not entirely involving Moses, who liked Papp and gave him free rein.

I ordered cherry vanilla ice cream in a cup...he made pistachio in a cone

I asked for peanut butter cookie dough in a cup. He made a cup of mocha chip

I asked for a kids cone with one scoop of vanilla fudge , he took  a large waffle cone with fudge trim and filled it with vanilla

I recently tried a new type of vegan ice cream. Most of them are made from coconut milk, but this one is made from cashew milk. It was really good! If Choczero made vegan ice cream I'd buy it in a heartbeat. (Choczero has no sugar.) As it is, I'm skipping the cholesterol.

Do they even make ice cream of any kind?

I am not a big fan of coconut, probably because I couldn't eat it when I was young.  I like the idea of cashew milk for the ice cream.  Did you buy it at a store or just get a scoop someplace?

jane, Choczero doesn't make any ice cream that I know of.

I bought it at my favorite food store, which is a health food store, but I believe I've seen it at Whole Foods Market. It's So Delicious Double Chocolate Delight, chocolate dipped in chocolate. It's on a stick.

Vixmom, I'm pleased you're enjoying your air fryer. I was quite intrigued with the concept when they first came out. The reviews I read were excellent. As a vegetarian and disinclined to cook these days I have little need of one, but I do wish restaurants would start using them, as it's a healthier way to cook. I'm all for easier ways to prepare meals, even if I leave most of mine to the professionals.

Kitchens are dangerous places, after all. One should leave cooking to the experts!  ;)
