Teh highbrows got bigger’n’ anyfing!
Good morning.
I was done with my laundry and was making sure the foyer door was locked and the blinds were set back to where they were, and I heard the combination on the laundry room door engage.
Someone came in to see who was there. Well, golly, missy, if you have to UNLOCK the door to get in, then it must be someone inside who knows the combination, as in: lives in the complex. She may have been armed, but that wouldn’t have been surprising here. I just told her I was “here every Monday from about 0230 to 0400,” and asked her what apartment she lives in. And me unarmed.
My right knee is bothering me again, so I don’t know how much I’ll get done today. Right now, I have an ice pack on it but I have to go hang up the clothes.
The fruitcake tastes much better this morning. the rum glaze made the cakes moist and gave just a tad more flavor, so I guess I can give them away!
Here it be all Monday and everything. Happy Monday.
It was a quiet puppy weekend this weekend, which was nice. I hope you all are enjoying the end of November 2020.
You know I think the hardest part about Thanksgiving is what to cook the night BEFORE? Get so busy planning and baking, and prepping for The Big Feast ya get to 5:30pm Wednesday, and -- uuuhhhh, rats. So, here's me all Mr. Got 2lbs of Ground Beef Thawed, and everyone's like -- [eyeroll] NOT <insert too common ground beef dish here>!
As if spaghetti twice in a month would knock the Moon out of orbit, or reverse the magnetic poles of the Earth. Yeesh!
So, I grabbed a few extra ingredientes, cranked the clock back to Havana's heyday, and pulled together a new favorite: Cuban Picadillo
Used these guys' recipe sans chopped green pepper, used diced instead of whole tomatoes, and subbed green olives stuffed with garlic cloves for the ones they listed.
Served in bowls over rice it was wonderful.
