Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

Then you definitely do NOT want to look at celery root.

Eh thats not so bad. Its more something about the color of the beets than anything else. Looks like a rotten potato or something lol.

Thanks Sam!

Not all emotions are good and healthy ones. Perhaps I am the support mechanism that helps keep Pollyanna things in balance.

The yin to your yang, as it were.

Instead of my normal 2-pass NS+SN shave, I went with a NS + Ear.to.Nose 2 passer this morning. Nope, doesn't cut it for me. Quite scruffy right now. Sort of like Chad 2 months in to "growing" facial hair.

My wife is off today (as am I ) and she wanted pancakes for breakfast. We have not had pancake mix in the house for close to 2 years, so I thought to pick some up when I walked to the grocery store for some milk et al. Alas, while walking home, I realized that I had forgotten the pancake mix and I was not going to return or make a second trip. Google saved the day and my wife enjoyed her from-scratch blueberry pancakes.

Yea there’s a lot of great, basic pancake recipes to be had on the interwebs. May not beat Krustez mix...but still pretty darn good

Yea there’s a lot of great, basic pancake revue pies to be had on the interwebs. May not beat Krustez mix...but still pretty darn good

What's a revue pie?

 

[woodpusher]

Based on the definition of "revue," I think they are some kind of intermission dessert.

Hey, even work you delegate, you have ultimate responsibility for. Let's not have to have this talk again, huh?

Lights up just in time for Diwali

 

[woodpusher]

Happy Diwali everyone! Even if you're not someone that normally celebrates it, the festival of lights is always a good thing to behold when it gets dark outside. As a bonus, you get to eat lots of tasty num-nums at friends (in pre-Covid days anyway).

In shaving news, this morning's shave saw me break through the bottom of my puck of Haslinger Aloe Vera. It's smooshed into a CBL container and has a few blue flecks interspersed throughout from when it was originally plopped underneath my Godrej puck in a Tabac stick container. How's that for an integrated-soap family?

Based on the breakthrough and how croapy-soap it now is , I envision about a week left with it.

 

[GearNoir]

Major accomplishment alert!

 

[woodpusher]

No fire, but I did make some bread a few days ago. That's close enough*, right?

 

[woodpusher]

Sticking with the Diwali theme..... Here's supper tonight (copied from the "What ya eating" post... because it's SOOOO yummy!)



back: sweet rice, curried mango
