I've spent a lot of time in merry England, but I always wanted to do a canal boat tour. It is still on the list. :)

Oof! Some like it hot and sour. ;-)

It is so good! It's like cream cheese with a tang. Throw some olive oil and chopped parsley on top, and spread it on the cracker or or pita of your choice. It's one of the most successful culinary experiments I've ever done. It's in the rotation now.

Good morning from the east! Misty made her own lunch today, so I took my revenge by making her what she said was the best breakfast she's ever had. I'm not competitive though (oh, oh, yes I am). Have a wonderful Thursday. :)

The world according to gumbo. (I must be stopped.) ;-)

one of my favourite meals in the world is a full English. I generally go right back to bed afterwards though. ;-)

Gotta love those coronal mass ejections (and thank goodness for the magnetosphere). ;-)

Happy Wednesday Nubian Queen Bee and everyone! Misty made her own lunch today (at her request), but I got my revenge by making her what she said was the best breakfast she's ever had. I'm not saying I'm competitive, but I probably should. Have a great day everyone! :)

My best friend ever (past tense b/c leukemia sucks) was a Tufts lad. And the best diagnostician I ever knew was a Tufts lass. She was obnoxious as hell. We got along swimmingly. She said, "I've never won an argument with you." I said, "You won half of them. I just never realized it til the next day.

Thank you Jamie. I don't know how much I got, but no one ever accused me of not showing up for work, whether I was built for the job or not.

Courage comes in different forms. I have never made a living without my ass in a chair. but I fought three incurable diseases without a drop of medical education, and worked 16 hour days for no pay when a bully was picking on a neighbour. It's not what you got, it's what do you do with what you got.

I always held that intelligence has three components, but I recently added a fourth. The first is the library, which is the facts you carry in your back pocket. Then there is analytical capacity, and creativity. The new one, and possibly the most important, is curiosity. I have plenty of that.

Dude needs to get a job and move out of his parents' basement. I, and all real people, are thrilled for you. You went through a few really dark tunnels, and anybody who isn't happy for your return to form is in fact a fuckstick. Ride, baby, ride! :)

Not gonna lie-I bought an air fryer too. We ended up binning our toaster oven. The damned thing is like an analog microwave. Potato girl lives and dies by roasted potatoes, and there is no better way to make them. I mostly live on a cutting board, one good knife and cast iron. Embrace the future!

"Neither IQ, nor physical beauty, nor charisma are proper #measurements of quality. The only meaningful measurement is how much good you do with the talents you came out of the box with. We all use what we were born with. Use it well." #vss365

I used to complain that my son's surgeon's answer to every question, no matter what it was, was "cut another hole in the baby." He was the best doctor I ever worked with, but we definitely butted heads a few times.

I used to spend an inordinate amount of time on planes, and I practiced strategic dehydration so I wouldn't have to go to the restroom mid-flight. That was not my happy place. ;-)

Stressed me -- before. Unstressed me -- after, if at all. When you have to ask yourself what you want to eat, the best answer is probably "nothing." ;-)

The funny thing is that I'm not a veteran (I'm incredibly 4F - 40% stainless steel by weight), but I deployed twice to a combat zone in Central Asia when I was an engineer consulting for DOD. At this point, America is like a Talking Heads Album. We have stopped making sense.

As for words of wisdom or comfort, I'm afraid I have none, but if anyone tells a veteran they aren't a veteran because of their political views, take your laser pointer and aim for the eyes. That is just not okay.

The princess is the world's most loyal dog, sometimes obnoxiously so, and Benny the Wonderdog clearly has cattle dog and shepherd in her. Lily is fading fast now, and sleeps maybe 20 hours a day, and Benny has discovered that not all men suck (I don't know either) and is all over me these days.
