Yeast shortage. Flour shortage. Pasta shortage. What I really want is a Trump shortage.

As of yesterday, I'm working from home until the end of August (by which I bet they mean after Labor Day), so I don't have any choice, I need an air conditioner in here if I'm going to be able to do anything productive when it's 90 and humid out. HSDM reserved the right to keep us home until after Christmas, but didn't come out and say "don't come back until January" yesterday.

Yesterday I made the spinach and artichoke stuff, which ended up being unstuffed shells (the shells weren't big enough to stuff, but the spinach and artichoke and ricotta combination would have made good shell stuffing). Pretty tasty, and I got it done before the weather got too humid to have the oven on. I did, however, discover that the oven is now running 50 degrees cool if an oven thermometer can be believed. I definitely need a repair service.

This weekend I also need a trip to the hardware store for a 15-foot extension cord, before the air conditioner gets up here (I'm borrowing one). I really wish I had outlets in exterior walls, but the only one I have in an exterior wall is in the kitchen, and that's only because two exterior walls come together on that side of the building. If I owned the place, and won the lottery...
