> [@Spiderman](#): > > **Ruble** , the problem with your alternative festival is that it’s in :eek:Ohio:eek: > Did you realize that with one little extra mark “Ohio” becomes “Oh No”. :eek: ☹ I know what you mean. Remember, I’m the one who claims they keep making Ohio wider just to torture me as I drive to Indiana. So if I think this festival is that good, you know its coming from a source that would tend to be biased against it. Got my chipped tooth fixed the AM. Still numb and drooling but I’m seriously thirsty. So its some tea for me and a clean shirt before work. ---

**metal mouse** , with wood floors, I have just two words for you: Molly Maids. 😃 I’m sending a virtual drool bib **ruble**. 😛 The company is feeding us today [http://unclebuds.com/](http://unclebuds.com/) in honor of the Superbowl. The food is good, but they were out of catfish when I was in line, so I had to make do with chicken, hushpuppies, slaw, pickles and tea. That should keep me 'til supper. 😛 ---

Welcome to the Dark Side! 😃 Now THIS is music! or [/QUOTE] I quite like Def Lepard, although that boy sings about as well as I do, but Steppenwolf? Not so much. I think I’ll keep my opinions of the musical tastes of the rest of you to myself. Ima try that linky thing.

Now that I’ve alienated half the people in this thread, on with the post. Well Argentinian Steakhouse night was a huge success. The proprietors said it was the biggest sellout crowd they’ve had. The food was exceptional. Unfortunately I can’t remember the names of all the things we ate. Besides they’re Spanish, which I don’t speak. You shoulda been there. I forgot to take ‘Kubo and the two string’ back to the redbox yesterday. I’ll have to keep an eye out for red helicopters 'til I can sneak it back this afternoon. Now I want some hushpuppies! ---

I took a nap, I knew I would. Weird dreams about circulating water. Got another letter from my insurance company. This one informing me that my insurance covers abortions, and since federal funds are not allowed to be used for abortions, $x of my monthly premiums goes towards abortions. I guess I needed to know that. I have to decide what to have for dinner. I’m hungry and tonight is going to be a fend for yourself night. {{{ **Butters** }}} Please don’t hate me, but I’ve never understood the love for hushpuppies. They are right up there with funnel cake, greasy flavorless dough. ---

Home. Yay! The more I work on my design project, the more I realize has to be done. But it’s coming along well. Boss wants slides for a meeting next week, so tomorrow, I’ll do what needs to be done to accomplish that. Hope the customer likes what we propose - Otherwise, I’ll be back to square 1. Whatever - it all pays the same. Supper tonight will be assorted foraging. ---

Pancakes and snausages have been consumed. Thus we have fulfilled our ground hawg day obligation. OYKW is takin’ tomorrow off irk and wants to go to GC around eleven for N.O.L. Hey, he’s buyin’ so I’m eatin’. 😃 Plus also that means dindin tomorrow will be forage if’n you are hongry. **MetalMouse** I have a termite service as well after dealin’ with termites several years ago. AIR the inspection happens sometime in April. No worries cause it’s through the company that provides me with monthly bug sprayin’ so they will remind me when it’s time. I want to be sure I don’t have termites and they want the money so I reckon it’s all win-win. I like funnel cake and hush puppies. However, proper hush puppies must be made out of yellow corn meal and contain onion. One must observe certain traditions, after all. ---

That’s why you eat them with honey butter. Hushpuppies, not funnel cake. I judge fish places by whether or not they have honey butter available. ---

We suddenly have freezing rain! Or frozen rain. Or tiny little hail. I dunno. Something like that. Orygun weather be weird. 😕 Oh, and proper hushpuppies are anything but tasteless. ---

> [@Catamount](#): > > That’s why you eat them with honey butter. Hushpuppies, not funnel cake. I judge fish places by whether or not they have honey butter available. I eat 'em with a little tartar sauce. And like **swampy** , good hushpuppies are made with yellow cornmeal with onions and sometimes various peppers. If you’re eating flavorless dough, you’re not doing it right **sari**. 😃 I made a spinach salad for supper to offset the heavy lunch. The kitchen counters are clean, the bathroom has been [del]bleached within an inch of its life[/del] scrubbed and the place is dusted. When I stopped at the dollar store for manila envelopes this afternoon, I picked up seeds for herbs, maters, peppers and lettuce for a container garden on my patio this summer. I already have a rosemary plant that I’m keeping indoors until it warms up. It is actually a nice houseplant and smells good as well as being able to be snipped for cooking. I’ll likely do the same with it and the basil, sage, parsley, thyme and oregano next winter. Win/win! ---

We did egg salad for supper. I just finished eating a Cara Cara orange - very yum with a very short season. I loves me some hushpuppies! ---
