Food with Attitude!

That is an awesome cat!

I discovered a new series on SyFy - "Resident Alien"

He's an alien who assumed the identity of a doctor living outside of town. When the town doctor is later found dead the Sheriff asks him to come to town since they need a doctor to examine the body.

Mayor snowflake then gives everyone his phone number and they all start calling him and he becomes the town doctor going to work every day at the clinic.

Edit to add his arch enemy is a six year old boy who is the only person out of the one thousand in town that sees him as an alien. So he keeps giving the kid the finger saying he's going to kill him everytime he sees him.

Thanks db!



Tonight Nef made pork milanese, rice pilaf and glazed baby carrots. :)

I get the emails, too. It seems I don't usually get them until the day before it arrives. Or, maybe I just don't pay enough attention.

Simple is usually the best. That is some comfort food for me!

Glad you stopped by!

Smart kitty! He looks very much like my big kitty.

Bacon & cheddar burger topped with havarti & portabellas.

Well, everytime I try to post my pic, it shows as last night's dinner. I even tried to delete & re upload to my Imgur.

Ok, now it posted. I don't know.

That's the problem I had two weeks ago and couldn't upload Lance' pictures.

Tonight was weird as I could not highlight and copy text so had to restart Chrome which kept opening edge in new Windows instead of allowing me to reply.

I see my laptop is installing another 2021-02 cumulative update so that may be why it is wonky.

Even my cellular WIFI modem updated its firmware earlier today. I forgot what I was writing as it took ten minutes and two reboots to complete.

I just told the laptop to reboot at 10:55. Mrs. is worried since I'm not eating so I may go see if anything looks appealing.

oh, that burger looks delish, as does Simple's dinner. Ours wasn't bad but I only have a picture of the filling

Gluten free veggie lasagna for Ms. Picky.
The secret to the Barilla Gluten Free noodles is cook them for at least an hour and use plenty of sauce. I made a small pan (8x11) and used all but 3 of the noodles in the pkg and a quart of our homemade sauce from the garden -this is the 'before' pic but we don't do anything as fancy as that awesome video pool posted.


Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Mine is extra special thanks to Para's kindness.

Wow that looks great!

My dinner will not be photo worthy, it is my chili left over special--chili soup!

I cook about one-third cup of bowtie noodles about four minutes short of ready, then combine them with one cup of chili, one cup of water, and one beef bullion cube in a microwave bowl and nuke 'em until it boils which allows the not quite done noodles to soak up some of the extra cup of water.

Chili becomes chili soup!

Sounds delicious!
Hope you are having a great weekend Louis!

I am thank you. I hope yours's is too, you are so very hardworking and seem to never have time to rest or treat yourself to something wonderful.

I would cook and bring you a dinner were you my neighbor!

And now for something completely different, possibly scary...

This new Surface Book Pro does not have the Samsung "SideSync" software installed on it neither does my phone, that's Samsung's App to connect their phone to your PC or Laptop.

Yet the gov version of Win 10 20H2 2021-02 sees my phone that I just took this picture with as if it were plugged into the laptop when I opened the file explorer. I had wondered what this version of Windows could get into.

I can ever scroll through the phone's pictures, address book, everything as if it were plugged in as it had to be with my old laptop.

That's creepy! So since you use your computer for work, does that mean everything on your phone is viewable to the "government"?

Since I seem to have killed the thread with my novella of a reply it is deleted.

Eat well, please. And treat each other with love, kindness, and patience.

Time is growing ever shorter.

I use a different login for personal use vs. gov so no worries there. I logged off and used a different account to create a WAN DHCP scope for a Southern Law enforcement Agency a few minutes ago.

I don't mix the activities.

Para what priority did you send that!!!!

The US Postal Service just made a Sunday mail delivery to my home--they have never done that before!!!

The football is now in my possession!

This is what I made for breakfast sometime around 4:00 AM today.

Hash brown potatoes with fresh diced peppers, onions, and siracha pepper, bacon, and blueberry waffles!

Para--you're an Angel too!

Magic cookies delivered on a Sunday!!!!!

Who would have thought the USPS would make that package their priority delivery in the county today.

!!!

Okay, I have to ask... what is siracha pepper? Do you mean sriracha in the liquid form, or do they make that stuff as a flake or powdered now? If so, I gots to get me some of that!

Follow up question: do you prefer real maple syrup for your waffles or some other kind of sweetener? Honey?

This thread is a great way to stimulate the appetite. Thanks to all the posters on here

I prefer real Maple Syrup but in a pinch, non-HFC syrup works.

I get siracha pepper in powder form, but since I wasn't sure about it before first using it I only bought a four oz. bottle of it.

It has a very different kick from white pepper or the coarsely ground pepper that goes on pizza.

Dear Diary,

Today my life changed for the better...





Thanks Louis!!

(PS- Good call re: maple syrup/alternatives ;)

Last Edited by Wharf Rat on 02/28/2021 03:47 PM

That is a stack o waffles!!
and agree with Wharf Rat, inquiring minds want to know..real maple syrple?

lol it's sugaring season here now.

I wanted to have space toast with my brekky but son is here and has become comfortable ensconced in the sofa in front of the television we never owned in his childhood. So I am trying to be productive with paperwork.

It is difficult to think of something I dread more than doing my taxes.

Here was our 'clean out the fridge' lunch of sauteed veggies and andouille sausage with cara cara pink oranges.

I exist but to humbly serve humanity.

Thanks for that great compliment!

Your meal looks more healthful and much better than any of mine.

I have all of our paperwork ready to take to the tax accountant's office. Mrs. forgot to pay the truck annual tax and I fear even if we pay that bill it will still be deducted from my Federal taxes.

That reminds me of the band Yes 'Hang on, Hang on; Maybe there's another way to do this!'

She had no income last year. I'll have the tax preparer file mine under injured spouse classification so I'll get an immediate tax refund and they will not deduct what she owes [and will have already paid] the county from my refund.

Less drunk sherpas in the US it seems...lol...

Or a manager that wants overtime and is personally delivering magic cookie packages in his USPS car, not a mail truck.

Our mail was running four weeks late behind COVID in late November through January and neither CA nor US postal facilities are made with two meter separation in mind.

The delivery works fine, they can't get it sorted at the main post office for Central Virginia, and I assume this is happening at dozens of postal sorting centers across CA and the US.

I agree, on a Sunday??? I think they delivered on Sunday during Christmas sometimes because they were so backed up, but now?

I think somebody knew just how important that package was!


Those are some beautiful waffles! I struggle to have the batter reach all the edges sometimes.

I like your cleaning out the fridge pics. Ours don't look like a well put together meal! It's usually things that don't really go with one another.

I have problems with the Jacksonville hub. I've had a package sit there for a week before even moving. I've heard in a forum of one hub being described as a black hole, I think it was Dallas?

I wonder if they are short of help because of Covid. Not necessarily that so many people are sick, but perhaps had to be tested because they worked beside someone was positive?

I'm not sure if they even made sense!

At my son-in-laws work, his wife was sick. He wasn't sick, nor was he positive. They made him stay out 10 days past the date his wife tested negative. That really hurt since they don't really have backup people. He works on a tug boat so it's not like they can hire temps!

She cute and what a nice caption. Girl Scout Cookies were baked in Richmond until maybe a decade ago, now I have idea where they come from.

Chy-Na...lol

My last shipment of RSO sat in Richmond at the mail sorting center for over three weeks before they delivered it. Since then our US Senators and some Congress members [their actual offices are in Richmond like mine] raised quite a stink over mail delays. I can only guess that is why they are doing two day delivery on packages even on Sunday now.

And its always slow. It took close to a month for Lance to get his package sent last summer. It sat in Niagara Falls, NY for a week, Toronto for a week, then another week and a half in Vancouver before the drunker Indian rode across the mud flats to delivered it to Lance' Island.

More Worrisome was the Postal Clerk didn't know that Roberts Creek, BC with letters in the zip code in addition to numbers was not in the US.

I had to point that out to her and she had to create new shipping and tracking tags so it would show up on both USPS and Canada Post while in transit. How many packages must get lost for them applying the wrong tracking labels to the packages?!?
