2nd cuppa break time here. Beautiful sunny day, supposed to be a big change from the 30 something temps yesterday to 60’s. Yeehaw!
Hair all done & likely nowhere to go next weekend
the mr & I are on opposite ends of spectrum as to whether the trip will go as planned. Pinned him down to a pow-wow this weekend, going to have a bottle of wine chilled & ready to go
Is there past precedent in your family as to what is done re presents before birth? If so, I’d follow that. If not, well, i’m More of the gift card to store where it can be used toward whatever purchase...in part or whole. You can never go wrong with
amazon GC imo
Problem here is there are no broad, cohesive protocols in place; let alone enforcement of them. Recommendations are absolutely not mandates. Sad when it’s up to WM to tell people how to safely act...via insisting on masks being donned in their stores.
Although, I have heard tell of some places where even that simple step has been politicized to point where people are getting guff for electing to wear them
County in which I had hair done yesterday is very lax on the practice. Same town in which my eldest DS lives. Had to request that staff/customers at beauty shop that were at nearby station within 6 foot of me put them on. The owner came up to me quietly afterwards and thanked me. Said she felt in a bad position & was afraid to lose clientele. Seriously?
Appointment ran long. Didn’t have time to make something for the mr for dinner before he had to leave for work, so I ordered a Primanti sandwich and set off to pick it up.
When i got to restaurant, thought it was closed. 2 cars in parking lot. Walked in and several employees were crying. I thought something bad had happened inside the restaurant. Nope. The girls were distraught over losing their hours, again. My heart broke for them, a stimulus package has to be implemented to help both the employees and the restuarants or they won’t have jobs when the skies do part
To their credit, our county rules have generally been better thought out than the state’s. Majority of population followed their suggestions, that kept our area with low transmission. Now, factor in covid fatigue/halloween & unsanctioned parties/political rallies & we are teetering here

Yet, more alarming stuff here ala the road to hell is paved with good intentions...
The organizers of an ‘unofficial’ senior school dance have refused to release an attendance list to the above country health department for tracing. Note they had the event well outside our county, into the above-mentioned ‘beauty shop’ one where it’s the Wild West (or east in this case) of sorts as to covid mitigation.

Glad you mentioned, need to put it on menu & pick up some sour cream
Sounds like a lovely day!
Love fresh oysters. Another thing that’s very difficult to obtain here. Quality is more miss than hit, have given up on eating the ‘at home’/
Never tried bacon pieces in it but do tend to soften up my onions & celery in it
Thought of you the other day. Pulled out one of those inserts that’s packed in new small appliances, one in which they toss a few recipes.
Saw most called for minced meat. I was initially puzzled, thinking back to the mince meat (yuck) my mom would roll out now & again. Going to guess that equates to ground meat?
I’m more of a cooker than a baker too. There’s a lot of time involved in decorations for many sweets, I don’t have the patience for it. However, no complaints on my offerings
.
Generally, I look upon cooking as a creative outlet, admittedly, there are days it just looms as a chore.
I was so glad to skip that menu after I dumped the ex. Not a calamari fan & the smoked eel, ooooh-the stuff of nightmares. Not being snobby, I was raised knowing how to cook offal...or, as we’d call it as kids; awful. Some it can be quite good if cooked properly
l
I guess they are targeting two different groups.
The houseparty type kids homes from college...so many outbreaks traced back to halloween gatherings
Family groups, mine included, where members who don’t live in the home will be at the table. I see my adult kids several times a week yet they don’t live “in” my house. We will continue that status quo and hope for the best.
Yet another example of a half-hearted edict, bowing to those who resist any real efforts.
Figure in another two weeks, a stronger slap down will be in place.
I need to find a place for mine in my kitchen. It’s kept in large pantry room off the kitchen. Nine times out of ten, i’m Too lazy to drag it out of it’s cover. Does come out for the holidays though.
Have a pasta attachment I’ve yet to master. Do like the nut & meat grinder. Did my own sausage once that came out well.
Good question.
That is so funny! insert foot in mouth
. Didn’t the texture off it give it away? It tends to look like mush to me
i’ve rarely used it for a few recipes as an ingredient along line of breading or topping for a dish. A few times would use as stuffing in braciole or stuffed chicken/pork chops
Yum
I have a hankering for Univerals’s pizza fries. May try to replicate them for me & tell the mr to have his way with leftover roast chicken breast
Oh my goodness, that’s a new one on me. Had to be disappointing
My mom made what we called “stuffing balls”. Hmmm, you may have inspired me to whip a few up for the table.
Magic
Large, Quality ones difficut to find here. Not a fan of the aluminum ones
You can’t come back from that lol. When I had cats in the house, always had duvets on the comforters as so much easier to wash them.
