Marlene took a porterhouse out to grill later. Add roasted and buttered potatoes, a salad with Visalia onion dressing, and a glass of red wine from a box, and I am a happy camper.
It has been a rough three weeks, but life is getting normal again. Trump is winning, Teddy Bares are whining, and JimRob has laid a hard line in the sand. It is so nice to NOT see twenty anti-Trump postings each day. I think most of those are on temporary time-outs, as I got one a few weeks back for posting picture of a dog peeing on a poster of Teddy.
But, FauxNews is still the anti-Trump place with a few exceptions, and tomorrow, I will watch CNN for results and FReep here with our Trump FRamily!
Got errands to run her, myself. It's only just past noon! But, I'll be catching up when I return! I am looking for some Nilla wafers and instant pudding to make some Nanner pudding. Marlene has never had any, yet here in the Philippines, bananas come in more varieties than M&M's!
I appreciate the fine reporting from the other side of the globe. You and your mate have a good thing going!
I got to cut some bananas down in the jungle of Grenada, West Indies, once, a long time ago when I was deployed with the US military. The thing that stunned me was that they grow up. A near mind altering experience. Also, my buddy sliced through the vine so fast, I was unprepared for the weight that hit me in the catcher position. I clasped the large bunch (bunches) of bananas, and tumbled a$$hole over tea kettle as I held on tight to my precious charge.
We put the bananas in the trunk of our rental car. Later in the day, we had a flat tire. In retrieving the spare tire, a local police officer stopped by. We thought for sure that we would be in trouble for possessing the bananas. The officer could not have cared less for the fact that we had absconded with bananas.
Later, we flew back to the United States, enlisting the help of a US Air Force aircraft crew member, to help us smuggle the bananas into the USA, by locking them up in a foot locker with a seal affixed for good measure. Upon landing, military dogs were brought on-board to sniff out contraband. To our surprise, and relief, bananas were not on the sniff list.
These bananas were of a diminutive size, and blackened quickly. The upside was that they were quite sweet in the ripened stage.
