G-d bless Joyce Beatty. This travesty never should have happened in the first place. But stupid fascist gonna stupid fascist I guess.

Wrangled a couple big pans making some grass-fed steaks, nice organic Italian linguine (saved the water, a low quantity used for....... ---> ) and a lot of Alfredo-sorta sauce. I made a roux, added the pasta water gradually, then garlic, roasted chicken demiglace, cream, more pasta water, then finished with a lot of 2 yr old Vacche Rosse parmigiana. Mangia, mangia, and if it's not exactly what you want, there's extra linguine to go with your meatballs & sauce from last night.

Man, I thought old people weren't supposed to sweat much. Just mowed back. mainly in shade, came in wringing wet. Will edge in the morning, am clean now.

That's one chore I do early. Last week I managed both front and back before succumbing to the relentlessness of the sun.

Maybe have your PCP check things. For real, I forget what's involved but there's something about that symptom we're supposed to have looked into. I know, that was so fucking helpful.

lotsacatsndogs's avatar

Nah. Heat index was 99, temp 92, humidity means can't evaporate. Am a good southern girl, would NEVER do if AC and a shower not a few feet away. Thanks though!

My weekend in a nutshell:

a) Too lazy to put on some pants and go out to get a much overdue haircut.

b) Too dumb (with a b) to make a valid excuse for a).

Thalia Is Not Amused's avatar

I dragged myself out last weekend to do the same. I always hate going but my hair is much cuter this week than last's. Maybe try tomorrow?

United States President Donald Trump says a deal with Iran will be signed on Sunday, and the Strait of Hormuz will be “open to all” immediately after the signing.

Trump’s comments appear to contradict Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei, who earlier said the document will not be signed on Sunday but could be in the “coming days”.

Just call them the Straits of Lucy.

eppe's avatar

The Ayatollahs will be surfing in the Strait of Hormuz before you know it.

The stripping of that "DJT" bullshit off of the building is one thing but a A) BLACK, B) LADY dancing to his song is I think something up with which he will not put.

noname's avatar

And yet he must. Too bad.

I can't be the only person who has noticed that through all his failures, through all his stumbling, his threats, his lies, his bankruptcies, and his swindling across 80 long, tedious, swatch-book fingering years Shambles hasn't been able to learn a single fucking goddam thing.

InMyRoom's avatar

He has people to learn things. Except those people are as stupid as he is. And the few who aren't stupid know exactly how to manipulate TFG.

eppe's avatar

He started off knowing all of the wrong stuff already.

We are a nation of laws and we are fighting this civil war in the courts of law -- and we are winning.

Papa John's announced plans in March to close 300 underperforming stores by the end of the year. The pizza chain has struggled with declining sales, higher costs and increased competition from other fast food chains.

Outback Steakhouse has shut 21 restaurants and will not renew leases for 22 more, targeting underperforming sites.

Things are starting to remind me of 2006/2008.

George W destroyed the economy while severely damaging the USA's worldwide reputation back then but folks, we ain't seen nuthin' yet.

People have less disposable income and are getting picky...

IIRC, most of Madoff's victims were rich, or they were before he got his hands on their money.

InMyRoom's avatar

Never steal from the rich. Madoff ended up in prison.

Steal from the middle class/poor, end up in Congress.

OT:

Don't know if I posted this before?

In the Atacama Desert, astronomers live and work in a James Bond villain lair

Maureen's avatar

If they ever needed to raise funds, offering a stay would probably do it. That looks fascinating!

Parakeetist's avatar

I would love to go there. I do have a passport.

InMyRoom's avatar

Wow, I would never leave there.

Parakeetist's avatar

The coolest place!

gallbladder's avatar

What an amazing place. If I ever went there, I'd never come back.

SkeptiKC's avatar

That makes two of us.

I wonder if they might appreciate the attentive care of an experienced registered nurse?

gallbladder's avatar

Of that I've no doubt.

Who would mow the front lawn? Steve does fuck all...

InMyRoom's avatar

Lucky for Steve, there is no lawn.

Tasner Hasenpfeffer's avatar

Needs more catwalks over lava!

eppe's avatar

Astronomers? A likely cover story. I've seen "Third Rock From The Sun".

gallbladder's avatar

H...how'd you get back in here?

beb's avatar

Now do the Peace building.

JR's avatar

Deal to be signed tomorrow?.... again. Wondering if Iran has an alternative special birthday surprise in mind for the big boy as Bibi continues to mow down its northern neighbor.

A goal made out of chocolate!

I love chocolate. Seriously, thank you to the inventors of that. Ecuador is cool. A friend of mine came from Quito.

Potatoes came from Peru ...

The smallest one could be a malted milk ball.

Having one of the best sammiches of my life, a thing made with hot sauce, potatoes, cornichons and raclette cheese hot off the wheel, wrapped in Tunisian bread. New-ish place that opened a 10-minute walk away and which took over a Subway no one ever visited.

noname's avatar

Lucky! Enjoy.

Babe Paley's avatar

Sounds wonderful—you’re lucky they’re so close!

OneYieldRegular's avatar

Some wonderful eating places you want to have a little further away. The best croissant in the city is a 20 minute walk away, and those extra 10 minutes help dissuade me from spending all my money and cardiac health on going there too often.

Aquaman, Real Estate Investor.'s avatar

I would feel compelled to add a really good dry cure ham... But that sounds delicious.

OneYieldRegular's avatar

They have one with ham and another with prosciutto from Molinari, SF’s great Italian deli.

Aquaman, Real Estate Investor.'s avatar

Is this mythical sammich place is SF?

noname's avatar

Glad to hear Molinari is still alive; it was heartbreaking when Lucca closed in rhe Mission.

There is a Subway 20-minutes walk away from here that no one, especially myself, ever seems to visit. I hope that place starts a trend.

InMyRoom's avatar

The Subway across the street from us closed about a year ago. We never went there, never saw too many people over there either.

TootsStansbury 🇺🇦's avatar

Mr S loves Subway, I think it is lacking in any flavor except for the bread, which smells like barf.

Aquaman, Real Estate Investor.'s avatar

Like most fast food, the local version is usually better.

eppe's avatar

The locals usually seem to have trouble in leasing the good locations.

Aquaman, Real Estate Investor.'s avatar

I blame Roy Crock for that.

TootsStansbury 🇺🇦's avatar

Damn, that sounds damn tasty!
