Covid Lockdown Activities

[86MLR]

In my mind I can smell fresh cooked bread and butter...

Or is it burnt toast I can smell, funny, I'm not actually making toast at the moment.....berry shrange imbleeb....

Welp, full time day care starts tomorrow for at least 6 weeks.

The 11 year old granddaughter just "got her period", so there will probably be a run on sanitary napkins. I'd best start cutting up old T-shirts just in case.

Tomorrow, I will venture out to get provisions .... if there is anything left -

I have made a "B" list just in case:

* pickled pigs feet
* ham hocks & beans
* beef tongue
* hog jowls
* ox tails (for soup)
* beef liver
* chicken gizzards
* turnip greens
* okra
* turnips
* and of course - rocky mountain oysters

Yep, this old farm boy can survive -

Best you turn off the stove and have another beer.

Why?

First off, you don't "cook" bread, you "bake" it.

Second off, you "melt" butter, you don't "cook" it.

The beer bit I can do, the cooking stuff I leave to the Mrs.

Mostly because I was banned from the kitchen because I used the oven to cure some krinkle VHT paint on some intake pipe work.

Meh, the beer fridge is in the garage anyway.

I reckon she figured that out after her next batch of cookies smelled and tasted like paint? -

I baked my first ever loaf yesterday. I was so surprised it turned out as well as it did. It wasn't very crusty but it was certainly better than bought white cardboard bread.
Given it is not very energy efficient to just bake one loaf at a time I bake bake two loafs next time and freeze one.

You forgot the dozen eggs to boil and put in the emptied pickled pigs feet jar later to make pickled eggs, although I personally prefer to use the left overs from a pickled sausage jar.

I love a lot of pickled and fermented foods, but my palette has never gotten accustomed to pickled eggs

I have always wanted to read the entire "Dark Tower" series. I started reading it last week independent of this lockdown bs. On book 4 now, so far so good.

So, why did the accountant figure you knew anything about handbags?

Why didn't she just return the handbag to her sister?

It might have been real LV bag, that the "vendor" had just snatched around the block in NYC?

The granddaughters haven't been here all day, so I have had a lot of free time to wonder about things like that -


humfrz

Why? Dunno, I didn't think she would. I did say something about the stitching and the LV logo and how it was incorrect. It seems that everyone but her knew I was BS'ing.

She didn't return it because she couldn't fathom using a fake bag. I'm not even sure why she was using her sister's bag as she had a handbag collection worth tens of thousands if not more.

Shit's getting real here in Toronto. We (hospital workers) will have to be screened prior to entering the hospital.

Good addition, there, good ol southern boy -

We have free range possums here, do you have a favorite recipe for possum stew?

Never had it myself, although I hear this recipe works well. Note you need to let the Possum age for three days first, preferably beside the highway.
