Hi y’all…
waves
You could leave a copy of the book laying around.
Make cardboard cut outs of ships and planes mentioned in the book, dangle them from the deck in front of her stateroom window.

She elected for minute steak which she obviously likes very much. I dredged it in flour, then egg and bread crumbs, a Japanese thing, katsu or something. Means “stupid things Westerners eat, but we make it sometimes anyway”.
[/QUOTE]
Cube steak katsu? It’s country fried steak with a Japanese twist, (assuming you used panko instead of plain bread crumbs) but I prefer tonkatsu, which is made with pork cutlet. Either way, you need to have it with Bulldog katsu sauce.
Ugh… something’s blooming and my sinuses are booming.
Yes, Panko.
I thought it was hoisin, but she tried some and it is too sweet for her taste.
Hi **Soapy! ** I’ve missed you!
Crazy day yesterday, another day of crazy is upon me. Hubby is sick, really sick. I need to check on him later. I’m beginning to wonder if he has strep. His symptoms certainly match, but he’s never ever had it and neither have I.
Are they big waves or small waves?
There are really big waves in the Bermuda Triangle.
Good jambalaya is better than gold. Mmmm, jambalaya. makes note for winter cookery shopping list
I’m watching the garbage truck make it’s second round through the neighborhood. 
Ah, city sanitation. Never make sense.
I’m going to straighten this living room up and work on my crochet projects. I have *two going now. You got me, yarny people. You got me.
*It was one until I remembered the hard way why we don’t make potholders out of acrylic yarn. I need a new potholder now. I have three, but one is fabric and not very insulating.
Jambalaya for N.O.T.. YUM! BLTs and fries will be dindin. Also YUM! Irk is well, it’s usual irksomeness. I have, however, developed a training site in greater metropolitan Webster County/Preston, Jawja. Now to find somebody to place there. Some old Webster Countian/Prestonite must want a job, right?
Oh and rain and thunderboomers abound.
Hi Soapy!
I am watching Groundhog Day while paying bills and then I’ll start working on wind chimes. I surely know how to live, don’t I?
Howdy Y’all! I’m home. YAY!!! Gonna go make dindin shortly then in a little while head over to the church house for Evenin’ Prayer. Just glad the day is over. Only two more to go!
Happy Hump Day! (That’s…just so stupid, but can’t help it) Today is cleaning, coffee and…sorta-padthai. ‘sorta’ cause basically I have the noodles, and some cabbage and fish sauce and leftover pork, so…yeah. It’s Taothai! Or will be, once I get going on it, lol. Weatherwise, it’s hog and mutty, as usual. 
I’m just about all packed - all that’s left are my toiletries. We leave around 10 tomorrow. I’m going to sign out now and chances are you won’t be seeing me till the 31st or 32nd… 
Be good, keep your feet off the furniture, use coasters, and take out the trash when the can gets full!!
MWAH!!!
COASTER?! What kind of gin-joint IS this, anyway?
Enjoy your cruise,** FCM**, and bring a phone and show off! One of these days MrTao and I will be doing that too. Me, because I love boats, and him because…well, because! It’s a croooooooooooooooooooooooooooose, what’s not to like?
Bye MOOOOOOM
::Looks around, calls keg store::
Ahem Boys and Girls, now she’s gone and we are without adult supervision
PARTAY

Beer Pong is NOT allowed!
Without coasters, that is.
I proclaim the Pad-Tao experiment a success! I was a little worried when I first started, as the smell of cooking fish sauce is…interesting. I mean, I knew it was supposed to smell bad, but I’ve tasted it straight and smelled it in the bottle, smells/tastes good to me. But when it first started heating, well…whew! Luckily, adding some garlic, vinegar, ginger, chopped tomatoes, basil, sriracha, chicken, cabbage and noodles evened it all out, and I would encourage someone else to try it, which is my definition of ‘success’. Quite often I cook something, love it myself, but wouldn’t realistically encourage anyone else to try a bite.
At Sam’s Oriental Grocery, that sh…is FairyChat gone?
That stuff has…strange stuff floating around in it.
What does it mean, “Beer Pong”?
waves back How’s the job treatin’ you?
from Soapy? big as she can make 'em.
It’s a game that requires you be of Olympian level to start, because if you miss, you chug. And no, Gen-X did not invent it. We had our own version in the 70’s
eta - Repair guy is coming tomorrow afternoon - I’m still shaky on the concrete, but knowing it’s only temporary, I’m dealing. I’m just glad we’re having decent weather this week, otherwise I’d need a third arm/hand combo for the umbrella.
I threw caution to the wind and allowed myself to be weighed at the Doc’s this evening - I lost 9 lbs in 2 weeks!
