Double chore days this week

Besides the doing the vacuuming, laundry, and yard work this week, I also did the cooking. Today I cooked up a cauldron of ragu, made some gigantic millet meatballs (yes, there are reminiscent of meat meatballs), and baked a tray of apricot-fig pastries that were supposed to be classy fig newtons. The recipe called for a quarter of a cup of date sugar and a quarter of a cup of maple syrup. Unfortunately, they turned out a bit sweeter than I expected. Next time — if here is a next time — I would leave out the sugars altogether and let the apricots and figs have the stage all to themselves.

I tried to draw a little today, but my mind kept telling me to take the day off. So I did.
