I'm having a GREAT day because...

Woo hoo, I got my espresso machine back.

The Mrs is a coffee junkie. I don't even say "Good morning, dear" in the morning unless she is holding a cup of coffee. 10 years ago, I bought a semi-commercial espresso machine and plumbed it into a filter. Darn good lattes and the Mrs doesn't go for a 40 mile drive to get her fix. A month ago, the pump went bad. While that is probably something I can fix myself, the gaskets, seals, and valves were all showing their age. The company that I bought the machine from also refurbishes them, so I sent it in to be rebuilt. Sending an 80# machine to NY was painful; but the darn thing is as good as new (and I can say good morning. again).


I love potato salad; but ever since my cancer surgery, mayonnaise and I do not get along. It took a month of experimentation; but I finally have a potato salad recipe that I can tolerate. Low fat mayo with avocado oil combined 50/50 with sour cream seems to do the trick. Toss in some dijon mustard and you can't really tell the mayo is missing.

 

Today's great day brought to you by irrefutable proof that I am, once again, not pregnant!

...not that there was even the slightest remote chance of that, but still! Yay!

 

WOW, almost 2 year gap...not many GREAT days?

 

my family loves me no matter what

 

RECORD STORE DAY
It was cancelled due to covid-19 but they decided to due it today.
We won't be standing in line.
We'll wait in our cars, text the owner when we get there and he will call us in groups.
We go in, wearing masks, get our records and book, so the next group can come in.
It won't be the same combat shopping but I'm looking forward to it all the same.

 

'Bout to salvage this wasted Saturday with a jaunt downtown for some beer and pizza. Things looking up, perhaps.

 

BEER and PIZZA.....always good

 

I know some really amazing people, I’m grateful they’re in my life, and I truly love them.

 

Pizza and MILK ...,,,, Pizza and SPRITE..(and, NO DIET soda either)

 

i like cheetos and milk.... not sure why

 

MILK goes with OREO cookies . (Period, dot, end of sentence)
You guys are WEIRDOS

 

Milk also goes post pepper spray. Good to know for the next few months leading up to the election. Just remember some pepper sprays have a flammable propellant. So don't taser and pepper spray someone at the same time.

 

Uesd to love cold milk, but these days too much dairy is a big problem....Baked potato w/sour cream, Potato pancakes w/sour cream And there is a "cost" later in the day..

 

That's what Saturdays are for....

Yes - Havarti Cheese! Or any cheese for that matter. The stinkier the better. Like a good Quebec bloomer such as Magie de Madawaska from Fromagerie Le Détour (in Quebec). Yum!

 

Love stinky cheeses, stuff we had in PARIS over the years that is no longer available in the US thank you assholes in the gov.
