People.  It is May 30th.  It is 45 degrees outside.   I had to get some wooly socks on because my feet were cold.   Wooly socks!

The La Grange Pet Parade (sans dog pets – boo to dog flu) went on in the rain, and the temperature wasn’t bad.

But it took a mean, mean turn a couple of hours later. So, food plans that I had will be for another day.  Sorry summer stone fruit salad.  Sorry grilled chicken pesto pizza. Corn on the cob, I hardly knew ye.

I had cooked chicken, so I made Pioneer Woman’s Chipotle Chicken Chili.   I made a couple of changes however.  I doubled the tomatoes and reduced the beans by one can (the husband is not a fan).  I used 2 chipotle peppers and it was pretty spicy. Served it with corn bread from TJ’s boxed mix.  And over pasta.   Drummer boy was pleased.

Skunk, however, is not pleased with this window-shutting weather and has retreated to his Christmas pillow.

It’s too cool for cats (name that band!).

At least with the windows closed we won’t be annoying our neighbors with the 4 second delay between the Blackhawks game on here versus there, thus pre-screaming the goals before they happen. Go Hawks!
