Supper is not on the stove, but the prep work and clean up for this meal has been completed and now it's break time. Tonight's meal will be frozen green beans, small scrubbed and quartered Yukon gold potatoes, along with plenty
of chopped ham. All will be cooked in the same pot and there will be leftovers
for a few days and will share with a neighbor as well. Most likely a skillet of cornbread will complete this meal.
It was a beautiful day here. I cleaned out the goldfish pond next to the patio and then went over to the pet shop and got some fish for it. Last year's fish didn't make it through the winter. It had got cold enough
for long enough that the pond froze completely despite pumping air into it.

We have Porterhouse steak that will be going on the grill, some fresh asparagus, a salad and a roll. There will be some wine with that and for dessert my wife went over to the corner bakery to get some desserts.
There is a peach cheesecake square for me and something gluten free for
her.

You should raise catfish in that pond Dave. And program Megatron to
skin and dress them for you.

Your majesty should get a few alligators to keep those pesky herons controlled.
But your Highness should also consider crocodiles, as they have a more compatible temperament with your royal Majesty.
As a bonus, they would curtail those random strangers who knock on your
door to gush about your tits when you prance around without your bra.

You "moved up to" Connecticut? There's not much better than doing the snowbird thing. The only thing keeping us here is my in-laws. While I
adore them both, and in no way wish they'd kick the bucket, they are
old, and when they're no longer with us, we plan to spend the bad parts
of the winter where it isn't bad, and the bad parts of the summer where
it isn't bad. If you stay longer than 30 days, most states do not charge hotel taxes, and you can often negotiate greatly reduced rates,
especially if you pay up front.

You're like Gandhi. Or like Gandhi aspired to be.
"[W]hen he was in his 70s and close to leading India to independence, he encouraged his 17-year-old great-niece, Manu, to be naked during her 'nightly cuddles' with him.

If you're an AARP member, you can get WalMart+ really cheap. What you'd
save on gas could more than pay for it.

Breakfast this morning was fried spaghetti and cheese. Who the heck doesn't like
fried cheese? I'm going to make some fried ramen cake using cheap noodles. Aye,
it'll be grand.

The cheese fried a little bit this morning. I added a bunch to less than
two tablespoons of leftover refried beans. I don't think I've had even
500 calories of net carbs in the past 15 days. Mostly I eat L&T salads
with a tiny bit of EVOO and HOSO, a little Parmesan sprinkled on, and a
shot of MCT oil.
Tomorrow I'll be making mashed potatoes and gravy, and I'll likely taste
a tiny bit of the gravy for quality control, but I'll just have a giant salad and a bunch of Costco chicken. I've had some dry red wine twice,
but no beer. Certainly no noodles or bread.

People on this rock go crazy for cake noodle. I'm not sure why that
is. It's very disappointing for da Hawaiians to find out there's no
cake noodle on the mainland.
