Good Night Hamsters. Lovely moon tonight as it has been for the past few nights; it is just past full now but gorgeous still. Seeing the moon in a beautiful night sky is pleasant just before bedtime.
Getting late out here, so I’ll be turning in here soon. Been trying to wear my glasses today and still trying to adapt to the bifocals. I may go ahead and get another pair of progressive lenses here soon. My computer screen seems to fall somewhere in between what I need for the distance viewing and the up close viewing. … Read more »
Texmo, I don’t know if your church has this, but in the Catholic faith we have the opportunity to offer our sufferings to Jesus, to combine with his sacrifice, for the redemption of sin and the conversion of souls. I had some internet connections that reminded me of that in the first few weeks after my surgery. I had beaten… Read more »
Wife is breathlessly watching the globe awards to see how the movie Elvis does. Austin Butler who played Elvis won best actor. She went crazy. I think there are other categories the movie is nominated for.
I can’t stand watching, it’s mostly all about LBGT____ freaks. Oh, and PoC.
I’ve been down with injuries and back episodes, but never anything like 10 months. I sympathize with your frustration though. Get well. Soon.

Working a few hour gives me something productive to do. These last 10 months have been difficult as I’m the type of person that is always doing something. There are times when the stars align and my pain/discomfort is minimal and I’m very lucid and I’m just bored out of my mind. I’d love to tackle a few honeydos, clean… Read more »
Wow. Sounds like a long road. Incredible you’re working I can believe that.

I had to stop my “nibbling” of food. It caused severe gastrointestinal distress. I’ll try again starting Friday. It’s frustrating that such teeny tiny portions caused such pain and discomfort.

I must report that the baking soda in ground beef yielded plump, moist, browned little clumps of meat, instead of it crumbling to tiny little grinds. I’d say this is something I will remember to do because it performed as advertised, AND didn’t change the flavor at all – using just 1/4 tsp of baking soda in 1 lb of… Read more »
We get two mens weekend outs this year! Brother’s best friend has a 85 acre place outside of Crocket that brothers, BILs and all our boys go up and roam and act a fool. January 21st.
A beautiful day slides into night, and it nice to know that Pubbies returning to Austin have a huge surplus of $$$ to work with. How about the first thing on the list is lowering property taxes as had been proposed?

Well, I got a bit of exercise before the Sun winked out on me. I confess I piddled around all day — I mean when I was vertical — and didn’t get a move on till almost 6 pm. I raked part of the driveway and bagged up some of the dead vegetation that came down with the last good… Read more »
When I “googled” the baking soda thing it said to add about 1/4 tsp per pound – mix it in and let it rest for 15 minutes before cooking it…I patted my hamburger into the skillet – sprinkled on the 1/4 tsp of baking soda, mixed it in, and patted it back into the skillet and it is resting now.… Read more »
WB, the baking soda thing is incredible. The ground beef that I cooked was from the same pack we got from Costco that we divided up, I don’t remember if it’s 80/20 or what it is but I know it puts a bunch of moisture out. Using the baking soda I did not even have to drain it. I can’t… Read more »
#60 ELG He will most likely be indicted and they will brow beat him, bleed him dry with attorney fees, and then decide to drop the case, but not before they have squeezed the life blood out of him.

I haven’t seen it suggested for anything other than when browning ground beef.
It has something to do with changing the ph of beef, allowing it to brown and not break down completely and lose all of its moisture – which can turn it into flavorless, grey, dry, pebbles.
There seems to be discussion and interest in the hero who recovered the stolen customer money and property at the Tacoria a couple of days ago.
