Sunday

 Put beef jerky in dehydrator.

Monday (Queen’s Birthday Holiday)

Try not to eat all the beef jerky.

A ‘Jubilee’ Dinner
(requested by the UK elements.)

Tuesday to Friday

Heart Starter: Short black.

as Robbie Burns was known to say, the best laid plans
of mice and men and, indeed possums, ‘gang aft agley’.
