We had to make our annual trek to my wife's family plot to lay a wreath and flowers. It is about -1 C and very windy. While we were driving around to find the grave of her childhood friend we came across a pair of deer, a small doe and a magnificent buck. We almost always see deer in that cemetery, which surprises me because it is so close to the middle of such a large city. > > Not a lot, but jes did a "snow shovel process", gettin the snow off my > golf cart.Â* That requires me dressing the part --Sorel's, hat, gloves, > layered outdoorwear, etc-- and gettin' me some "shovel time" in. > > Fortunately, got me some "fixin's". to cook the day away (told ya'). > > Now, in the middle of "red beans sans rice".Â* Will do Jill's peanut > brittle and maybe a pecan pie, later. > > Studyin' fer my ARRL Technician licence (plus CW) and watercolor > painting of a pink rose. > > What you do'in? We went to the town's Remembrance Day ceremony and stuck around for the beef on a bun lunch. We are having TBone steaks for supper. |

LOL! I've actually had a busy weekend. A bit different than most. Saturday, shopping then gifting T-day meals to 3 families (posted in an elsewhere thread). Today, helping a young lady learn how to pack out quickly (she's being evicted, My daughter and I packed out her first floor in an hour). Tomorrow, 3 loads of bread for workplace potluck. Now? Relaxing with a beer or 4 ;-) Carol |

Defrosted a couple of disks of dough left over from the last time we had pizza. Mine was sauced with pureed canned tomato, garlic, olive oil, and oregano. Topped very sparingly with Parmagiano-Reggiano and provolone, then some very thinly sliced onion. His was topped with his long-cooked spaghetti sauce, rather more Parm and provolone than I used, and sliced pepperoni. Preceded by tossed salads. Cindy Hamilton |

Swept up some errant trails of cat litter, paper toweled up two hairballs and scooped the two litter pans... fed the inside and outside cats... typical every morning. Hit the button on the ADC and while having my cuppa will go over my shopping list for Turkey day... gonna get a small hen, 10-12 pounder, more than enough for the two of us and some for the pussys. Sides will be the usual baked in jackets sweets, kasha varnishkas, and whatever green veggie looks good, typically broccoli. My wife will be bringing her pumpkin pie from a very good Lung Guyland bakery, I don't care for pie but she will bring me a couple loaves of semolina bread and whatever pastries jump out, probably canolies and rum baba. Was 20ºF at 6 AM but warming up, already 37ºF. Sun is out, no rain today. Will head into town shortly to shop and get the mail, also check the 99¢ Store for my big desk calender. So far those are my plans. Haven't thought about dinner yet, maybe something at Tops Market will reach out... all the beef roasts are on sale this week at $2.99/lb, lived on pot roast all last week, so I'm thinking grind me a mess of burgers; two top rounds with one chuck roast... all chuck is much too fatty. Fifteen pounds of beef will get me ~20 zoftig burgers. |

'Dune Messiah' and 'Children of Dune'. I really liked the original "Dune" but the rest went downhill to me. The movie "Dune" was a fail too, imo. It was on tv just a couple of weeks ago. I gave it watch but changed channels within a few minutes. Of course, movies are always only a shadow of the original books and never so good. Hey....same author, different book... Check out, "White Plague." Haven't read it in many years but I do remember liking it. |

Hands down, the best recently deceased (as opposed to living) speculative fiction author is Terry Pratchett. You can step into the Discworld at a variety of points and feel right at home. For women, I generally recommend Witches Abroad. For men, Guards Guards. Do you care at all for urban fantasy? Jim Butcher is very good, although his first couple of books were rough around the edges. A wizard who's a private detective in contemporary Chicago. If you like straight science fiction, we've been enjoying the Columbus Day series by Craig Alanson. We tend to like it funny and snarky. Cindy Hamilton |

Jim Butcher is very good, > although his first couple of books were rough around the edges. > A wizard who's a private detective in contemporary Chicago. usually not, the three early GGK books were as close to that i got that i enjoyed, but i did hold my nose for the contemporary crossover bits. > If you like straight science fiction, we've been enjoying the > Columbus Day series by Craig Alanson. > > We tend to like it funny and snarky. ![]() ![]() as for science fiction i really like most of Alastair Reynolds writings. i tend to really go the most for the super hard science fiction writings more than the lighter fare. probably because i'm a general science geek and hate when i read a science-fiction book that is badly thought out. i do like fantasy at the other extreme end of things. a good imaginative work gets a lot of passes from me. ![]() the past dozen years i've mostly been reading gardens/dirt/ecology/biology/microbiology/etc type texts, but i've finally eased off a bit on those and starting to get back to some other things and of course re-reading my favorites. certain books i try to re-read every few years and i'm always glad i do as it seems i notice different things each time and enjoy them even more for it. songbird |

The movie "Dune" was a fail too, imo. > It was on tv just a couple of weeks ago. I gave it watch but > changed channels within a few minutes. Of course, movies are > always only a shadow of the original books and never so good. If you're a fan of the original story, check out the SciFi Channel's miniseries "Frank Herbert's Dune" and "Frank Herbert's Children of Dune": http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Frank_Herbert%27s_Dune http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Frank_Her...ildren_of_Dune Both were done by people who really understood and loved the "Dune", "Dune Messiah", and "Children of Dune" books. They're available on DVD at Amazon. I have both and usually rewatch them once a year. Lynch's "Dune" movie turned me off too, especially the first time I watched it. I mean, after 90 minutes he only makes it as far as page 150 or so of the novel and has to compress the remainder into 46 minutes? Apparently it wasn't all his fault however: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Dune_(film) -- Bob St Francis would have done better to preach to the cats |

I got some hot and spicy Bugles the other day. They only taste tolerable when mixed with regular Bugles. Recipe Ingredients: 1 bag of hot and spicy Bugles 2 bags of regular Bugles Method: Mix together while being careful not to break very many Bugles. Warning: This will be a superlative Super Bowl snack, folks. Don't give away the recipe. I'm going to patent it ;-) leo |

Never seen Rick n' Morty, but have seen the weird movie about Cthulhu, (say it fast, 5 times) put out by the HP Lovecraft Society. Also seen The Dunwich Horror when it came out. It was weird seeing Sandra Dee (Tammy and the Doctor) get all erotic and turned-on. My fave Lovecraft film was The Resurrected (The Case of Charles Dexter Ward). Seriously scary. Besides, I read all of Lovecraft's stuff while I was in N. Africa and have seen all the crappy films made in his name. As for all that Dune nonsense, I've read 'em all, including the lame prequels and they are all silly (When I'm 64). Still have the original De Laurentiis film, though. Love the cast! ![]() nb |
