Heh...she needs one of those sultry Rita Hayworth kind of captions...
She’s very provocative, isn’t she?
Good mornin’.
I have a serious and unfortunate update too... from the Saddle Club thread.
Becky is losing Mack. Shortly after our saddle club moot, Becky and Mack learned that he has cancer. Stomach and liver and his heart is not strong. He's been in the hospital the last three weeks, had a couple procedures and surgeries that they thought would help, but apparently none have helped enough.
Here he is during happier days not so long ago, during our saddle club moot... Laughing and visiting down at their office building in town.
Becky has brought him home. She could sure use your prayers over in the Saddle Club thread.
So do I! Kitteh has great taste.
She grabs it and won’t let me fold it...
I gotta solution fer that...
8 degrees here... beautiful sky... good tuh be home on theRidge...
theboy is out tendin’ thechickens... he neglected tuh collect the eggses this week... mrsnad pulled 22 out of the nestboxes last nite... hadtuh pitch 3 cuz they wuz froze and broke...
doubtless thebirds are sayin’ “WTF?” this frigid mornin’...
Morning G’nad - Let’s see, 24-16=8 as in ‘bout eight hours to go in the official “Dogwood Ridge Car-bomb Countdown.
Heh - “Chickens?!? We have chickens? Wondered what those funny looking birds were.” theboy.
Still, couple dozen is still good - is there a deer and egg pie on the agenda?
He had a beer last night...so he started a little early. We played cribbage with his parents till about 9:30.
He fed and watered thebirds, just didn’t get the eggs...not sure what’s for dinner.
Mrsnad
Mmmmm.....Bambi omelet...
That’s pretty good! :~)
Heh - two out of three, not bad - My cribbage board was left on the work bench, next to ceramic sticks, planned to take both to TBG Moot. 15-2...
Nice work - congrats
I like it!
Though...I don’t think Twittercat would actually say “Thank you” for anything. She feels she’s owed. ;-)
Well, I went out to run errands and got paged just as I got to the parking lot at the grocery, so I never finished. I have to go to *town* twice in one day! Eek!
Thanks for letting us know, Hair. I’d wondered what 2J meant the other day in her post.
Earlier in the week, I did my taxes (*one* benefit of renting - and living in a state with no state income tax - is that it's quick and easy to do taxes!) and figured out my refund. And I made an executive decision on what to do with the refund, which will be here next Friday. I asked myself what would be the biggest quality of life improvement I could make to this place, and then I went to Lowe's and ordered the biggest durned counter-top convection oven they carried. It's more of a mini real oven than an over-sized toaster oven. It's HUGH.
It came in on Thursday. I lugged it home, dragged it out, and immediately made pizza, mostly because it was one thing at the grocery that came with a disposable tray - I didn't have any pans yet. It baked - yay!
Actually, it wasn't that great, but I think that was the pizza's fault rather than the oven's.
Halvah, of course, preferred the box. Just for sitting on, 'cause that's her thing.
Tam took a more active interest:
Cisco sez, "I just don't get cats..."
I also made a quick batch of brownies, and brought those to work the next day. They were gone by noon, so I guess they were OK...
Today I did my first *real* baking: made some blueberry bran muffins. A regular sized muffin pan fits in the thing, as do small cookie sheets. Actually, it's about the same width as my broken wall oven, though the wall oven is far deeper, I admit. The muffins turned out nicely, I think! They'll be good breakfasts for this week, and I can freeze some, too.
Now I'm itchin' to try some real pizza in it. I'll do it Dad's way and just use a regular cookie sheet instead of a round pan, since I can fit a bigger pizza that way anyhow, and I'm done with buying pans for now.
I really hope it holds up over the long term. Don't know why it wouldn't, but of course I *had* to go look at on-line reviews, and there are a few negative ones. Granted, some of the negative ones are pretty pathetic. One person gave it a seriously negative rating because they opened the box and it was big. No joke. Erm...kay.
So...Hair...wanna come over for pizza tonight if I make it? ;-) It'll be pretty basic if I do...probably just a couple of toppings. But I wanna try!
Hey - cool! Sure! We don’t have any dinner plans yet. :~D
