This pub with a Saturday outdoor karaoke show has fried green beans on their bar food menu. I felt a compulsion to give them a try, and had one of those where-have-you-been-all-my-life moments. Seemed like a cornmeal catfish breader on them. Normally pretty lukewarm to green beans, but son of a Vondruke these were good. Almost not like eating vegetables.
Making a habit out hanging out in the shop in the wee morning hours while the family sleeps, but know that winter's coming soon. I'd love to turn this into a studio apartment, and only need plumbing and insulation, and another building to store tools and construction supplies. I built a big insulated shed down the road at our old homesite, but it's built on poles and wasn't designed to be hauled like a typical storage shed. If you're not doing anything today, you should come help me install skids and drag that shed up the valley. We can pretend that we're Egyptians working for the Pharaoh, eating bread and drinking beer while we move a heavy object.
Typical husband, we're without a dentist at the moment due to there being a shortage of NHS dentists. Of course now is when husband decides to lose a filling.
It doesn't count as an emergency, and going for private dental treatment is not an option. Looks like he's going to have to wait until it starts to cause him pain.
he should lie and say it is giving him lots of pain now
Sorta like when I get a bad sinus infection and they be all we cannot give you antibiotics unless it has been going on for 7 days and I go Funnnnyyyyy you should mention that, because it has been going on 7 days
"On September 26, we received a letter from the Office of the Attorney General of Texas informing us that they intend to sue Yelp over the consumer notice that we place on the Yelp pages of crisis pregnancy centers," it told The Register.
"The letter takes issue with a consumer notice that hasn’t been used on the Yelp site for over six months, won’t be used again, and which was helpful in informing consumers about crisis pregnancy centers."
The current notice Yelp attaches to CPCs is by Paxton's own admission "accurate." And as it argues in its complaint, "The Attorney General may not punish Yelp for publishing truthful information."
lol that bit where the cops were talking to the dingus that started all this shit and telling her there is stuff they can't tell her and he did not want to text it (cause there'd be a record!!!!) and she tries to pretend oh no, I just called them to see what was going on, pinky swear
On Poland: this was a miscommunication by their PM. What's *actually* happening is that the US has been replacing their old stocks (which they've been sending to Ukraine) with state-of-the-art NATO-standard equipment, which they cannot send to Ukraine. So once they run out of the old stuff, they can't send any more.
But the PM worded it poorly, the situation is fraught, the news media is full of bed-wetters, and so things got heated.
I'm more worried about pro-Russia parties gaining ground all over Europe, not to mention capturing the GQP.
This year's Fete Automne in Fertile, MO was a bit disappointing. Seemed like the cooking had been passed to younger hands who weren't ready. The ham and beans were underdone and underseasoned. The Croquesignoles were rock hard, and it looked as if they were fried elsewhere in advance. I think I'll need to brew some coffee to dunk them in for today's breakfast.
Dennis Stroughmatt's Cajun Stomp were as entertaining as ever. The dance floor rarely had more than one couple out there shaking a leg.
I don't mind cooking just for me. Alltho I mostly also cook quick stuff. :)
But in between... eating healthy, almost entirely plant based, and also making my diet suitable for my fitness/running goals.. I don't have much choice but to cook. xD
I try to keep empanadas, tamales, and beer battered cod pieces in the freezer for those indecisive moments, along with yaki soba microwave noodles and black beans & rice mix in the pantry.
Could be a case of quantum freezer entanglement. Do you have bags of frozen lemongrass and passionfruit pulp? Cookies and cream & Death by Chocolate ice cream?
I had the most extravagant dream last night. It was multilayered, featured a stage show mash-up of The Great Gatsby and Orpheus, starring Taylor Swift and many others.
Good morning, all! Lawsy, eight hours of uninterrupted sleep is sort of a departure for me, but if the body needs it, the body gets it. (celebrates the Sacrament of Coffee)
Also watched the first episode of the Great British Baking Show last night. No real disaster bakers this year, only a couple that got a bit too ambitious. New host seems good, she and Noel seem to work well together. Everyone nailed the technical, even the judges admitted they'd have to get nit-picky.
Welp, getting ready to head into work. Going to be a VERY busy week by the sound of things. May not be on much since I'll probably be very tired. Packed a little extra cheese in my lunchbox to help get me thru the day.
There are worse earworms to have.

I'll have a chat with him tonight, he's got tomorrow off work so he'll have time to practice his acting skills.

Lest anyone forget, it's all about maintaining complete control.
Except Paxton and Texas will sue or otherwise punish anyone for publishing truthful information. Because Paxton, and Texas.
Free speech absolutists
Except when it hurts their fee-fees.

From what I've read, not yet.

Latest Russo-Ukrainian War assessment: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-1-2023
MF'ing treason party cutting off US aid. We need to bury that party (with Votes), salt the earth.
Poland's apparently cutting off military shipments, and a pro-Putin hamsterfucker got elected in Slovakia.
The GQPers ain't the only ones to be a gaggle of syphilitic hyenas.

I wonder what Vlad is promising these countries.
Not to invade them?

British ships will be escorting Ukraine grain ships through the Black sea.
Also assisting in more training of pilots.

So ... will this week be ...
National Let Them Fight Week
or
National Popcorn Week?
National Let Them All Lose Week
Why not both?
Matty the Twerp won't be missed. Get rid of him.
Mostly recovered from my presumed covid infection, good thing, since today is gonna be busy.
6-7 dogs to bathe before noon, all the dogs checking out...
I am back from my walk... and now I can't decide what I want for lunch.
Where is my energy when it comes to cooking?!?
I don't like to cook for just me. I'd sooner throw together a quick salad or fry up an egg or heat up some soup- something light and easy
It is a good thing I have family to cook for or I'd be even unhealthier XD
I don't mind cooking just for me. Alltho I mostly also cook quick stuff. :)
But in between... eating healthy, almost entirely plant based, and also making my diet suitable for my fitness/running goals.. I don't have much choice but to cook. xD
Grilled cheese!
I try to keep empanadas, tamales, and beer battered cod pieces in the freezer for those indecisive moments, along with yaki soba microwave noodles and black beans & rice mix in the pantry.
Codpieces in the freezer?
Ahh, refreshing!
All of that sounds good.
I decided on porridge... put the last bit of peanutbutter in it, so that is finally gone, and I got lots of apples and pears from the backyard.
When I am indecive I usually make Ramen... with lots of veggies and some tofu, so I hit all my dietary requirements.
... which reminds me, I also need to take my supplements.
Did you get access to my freezer somehow? 😯

OK, which Wonker is employed by Ars?
That's a lot of dairy puns.
Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin has been on this for awhile. It boils down to plant based needs to stop calling itself milk.
Plant based sales have been down lately as dairy has been up a bit.
I call it milk.
Big Dairy could just put a little almond extract into their milk and market it as Almond Milk. Seems like the easiest solution.
The Chinese desert Almond Bean Curd gets turned up to 11 if you substitute sweetened condensed milk for whatever the original recipe called for.

I miss the Great British Baking Show, and almost would sign up again for Netflix to watch it.
I found the American knockoff unwatchable. Overproduced with uninteresting talent doing the talking. Boring, Neil!

I like cheese, but it's too unreliable to be counted on in a real crisis.
