DAY TWO

Last night we had leftovers.  I made a lentil soup with hot Italian sausage and spinach a few days ago and Charlotte asked for it again.  She ate the last of the latke's I'd made with the soup for lunch yesterday...they turned out terrific...made with golden beets, carrots, potato, onion and egg.  This all reminds me of the beauty of leftovers.  I've been a musician since '69 when I dropped out of college to join a blues band and through the years I've been fortunate enough to have composed and produce several musical projects which are still paying me royalties.  I joined ASCAP (American Society of Composers and Publishers) in '77 when my band Riff Raff finished our album for Island Records.  ASCAP collects revenue for composers when the writers work is played on the radio, TV or in the movies.  We are paid quarterly.  It's always nice to get this usually unexpected check...I say unexpected because with me, I tend to forget, so it comes as a pleasant surprise every three months.
Leftovers are like royalties, you've already done the work, nothing to do but enjoy the fruits of your labor once again.

Since this project is new to me, I will be making it up as I go.  So, I realized last night I'd forgotten to mention that for anyone who likes the sound of a dish I've described or mentioned, I will be happy to share the recipe with you.  Just email me your request and I'll send it along.

Oh my, it's nearly 11 and I have to be at the golf club in an hour!
Here's a picture of the latke's.

Cheers,

Chris
