Snowed in so I made a soup out of whatever I had. Potatoes, sausage, peppers, onions, garlic, celery, chicken and veggie broth, and spices. Added a little milk and lemon juice to finish. Turned out pretty great but sausage and potatoes so the deck was stacked in my favor.

Joker opens the season with a triple double in a win over the Lakers.

For reference because that might be an obscure reference for many even though it kind of explains it in the article

Ja Rule Says Drake, DJ Khaled Not Obligated to Speak On Israel ... - TMZ https://amp.tmz.com/2023/10/11/ja-rule-drake-dj-khaled-dj-vlad-israel-hamas/ I know everyone was curious on Ja Rule's take

Israel is going hard on Gigi Hadid.

I also highly recommend a microwave cover. Saved me so much cleaning. I should probably get a collapsible one though for easier storage as mine is a dome. I usually do my capers in the air fryer but I do sometimes make them in the microwave as well if the air fryer is in use.

We've been watching a lot of Beat Bobby Flay who I call Roberto Flavor. He wins an awful lot even with visiting chefs having the advantage of picking what they make. Been watching for ideas on what to make because things have been a bit stale. The other day I made a Cesar salad with baby romaine and crispy fried capers.

All the WoT talk in the TV thread reminded me that I have like 2 books in Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series to read still.

This is my son's favorite song.. this week Don't worry, he's never seen the video

They decided to patch the beta after all so I'm downloading the game again.

I guess Mitch was wrong For reference

Maybe they can get MS to hook them back up with Shadowrun. My dream is a Shadowrun game by Obs but that's never going to happen so gimme more Shadowrun Returns goodness.

They made 3 or 4 tiny incisions along her abdomen. This is how I pictured it

Been a rough few days but things are getting better. Surgery was a success and the patient lived, 2 for 2.

My retirement plan is the same as most people I know, die before retirement age. Local politics but we have a 3 way race for mayor. That sucks for me because now I actually have to look into the candidates instead of doing what I normally do and just vote the opposite of a super conservative neighbor. This neighbor once told me they knew the election was stolen because they've never seen anyone in a Biden hat. Wasn't the first time I'd heard that, just didn't expect it in real life. City actually has a ton of info available this year and I didn't have to do much digging.

Health issues on the homefront, wife has to get her gallbladder removed tomorrow morning. Not really that crazy except that yesterday, when we got the news, was my late mom's birthday. She died of pancreatic cancer 6 months after first being misdiagnosed with gallbladder issues. Not the same at all but because of the day that's where my mind was at. It was a something

Yeah, one of the first things I did was grab a mod for that in JA3

This plus Has certain folks in my family circles hitting the conspiracy sauce hard.

I never said that there's no issues with immigration, I specifically pointed out what you wrote about it now affecting liberals which is patently false and has been making the rounds on conservative sites. There are 4 southern border states and only one is red ...and one is the communist hellscape of California.

I see this repeated a lot, especially on the right but it's a flawed premise. There are liberal border states and liberal cities in red states. I'm from a liberal border area.. and immigrants in NY being the breaking point is laughable. There are real issues with immigration and border policy but these things are gross oversimplifications and outright lies.

We had leftover pork tacos for lunch and leftover lamb for dinner.

pretend he's saying LC instead of Lisa.. and ignore the sister part. Happy birthday!

I'm making lamb loin chops on the grill and some couscous on the stove. My wife is making some kind of salad.
