Hotdawgs, slaw, and chips in continuance of a day of fine dinin’. 😃 So do you eat them warm in a bowl with a spoon like peas, or by hand after they’ve cooled like peanuts? ---

**{{{Midget}}}** Detailed AGM bought me some Dorito Tacos today. I knew I’d regret them after I ate them, but they were just so damn good. Then he had to go to the horsepistol because his fella was in the ER for the second time this week with worryingly low blood sugar. Last I heard was if the diabetes didn’t kill Fella, Detailed would. I have to irk tomorrow. I hate six-day irkweeks. ---

I had a hankerin’ for a salad, so we went to Ledo’s for supper. I ordered the grilled chicken salad, said to consist of greens, grape tomatoes, cheese, bacon, and chicken. Now, when you read that, you assume, as I did, that “bacon” probably means bacon bits. And you, like I, would be WRONG!!! There were at least SIX FULL SLICES of bacon on the salad. :eek: \*\*FCD \*\*was happy, since I just transferred it all from my plate to his. Another lesson re-learned - I’ve got to quit wearing shorts when we eat at places with vinyl seats in the booths. ow ow ow ow ow ow when my tender skin sticks to the upholstery. On the plus side - ice cream later! 😃 ---

**{{{Midget}}}** sorry about your plans and hope your grandfather is better soonest. I like company. I like to see company come over. I like to visit with company while company is here. However, the best feelin’ of all is when company leaves. 😃 Anywho, OYKW and I have had a nice soak in the tub (separately cause if’n we tried together that would be cruelty to the tub), and all is well. ETA: **Sari** one shells and eats boiled peanuts just as one would eat peanuts roasted in the shell. ---

**{{{Emily}}}** I like boiled peanuts once in a while. However, I will never again share them with a Chihuahua in an enclosed vehicle. 😛 I went down to the Lodge Sto’ today. I got my cast iron Dutch oven, a few accessories, bought gas, lunch and a couple of loaves of bread at the Dutch Maid Bakery [http://www.thedutchmaid.com/](http://www.thedutchmaid.com/) for less than the pan would have cost locally. I’ll be taking it for a test drive tomorrow by roasting a chicken in it. ---

Happy Sunday! like hell it is at this flippin’ hour of the am - damn bladder It’s a dark, cloudy 72 degrees and supposed to rain. {{{ **Midget** }}} I hope your grandfather will be okay. Today will be pretty much like any other day. Little bit of this, little bit of that, except I didn’t irk enough yesterday and should make up for it today. ---

Ugh. Getting ready to go to irk. Didn’t sleep well last night because I was frustrated at my Infernal Machine because it froze up on me again yesterday. Fortunately this morning I remembered the Microsoft has this nifty feature called “system restore” so it’s working again. Yay, I fixed something! 😃 I have bean soup in the crockpot. It should be ready by tomorrow sometime. It pays to cook bean soup a loooooooooooooong time. **{{{Midget}}}** ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ ‘Tis 75 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 88 and afternoon/evenin’ rain/tstorms/apocalypse. We shall see. 'Twould be nice if it were to happen. Today’s big plans include deheathenization Whiskypalian style and N.O.L. OYKW mentioned sump’n about goin’ out to eat N.O.L. after deheathenization but I would rather just come back to da cave and graze upon the various things in da fridge. Of course, if he’s payin’ and really wants to I will not argue. 😃 Ok, that’s all I got. I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants sustenance. At some point we must also purtify for deheathenization. Happy Sunday Y’all!
