    Leftovers. Ham 'n beans, Rice-A-Roni and Polish sausage and
    sauerkraut. Usually, we put leftovers in the fridge and throw them
    out a week later. We will find out if our stomachs are made of iron,

    I made a quick small pot of soup Monday evening and that will be
    dinner tonight. I've spent the day changing my bedroom from its'
    winter motif to the summer one with different valances and bedspread.
    Of course, this meant washing and ironing the sheers, cleaning
    windows, dusting, and vacuuming. I'm a bit frazzled and I've still
    got clean sheets to put on the bed. 🥵

    It has been leftovers day. Apparently the leftover lamb shanks and
    mashed potatoes I had for lunch was supposed to my supper. I ended up
    having a toasted chicken sandwich. I have a meeting tonight so I had to
    eat early.

    It was vegetable beef. I had a nice size portion of leftover roast
    and chopped it up and added a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and
    a can of chopped Italian tomatoes and some seasonings and it turned
    out surprising well for such a spur of the moment meal.

    The winter bedspread is quite heavy as I had it custom made many years
    ago and some of the bedroom articles/decorations co-ordinate with it.
    Plus there was a lightweight quilt that needed to be removed and all
    that will be on the bed until fall is a blanket. Lighter weight
    summery type bedspread, too.

    Lunch was a BLT at the pub. It was pretty good; the bacon was meaty
    and not too smoky. The real flaw was that the sandwich had far too
    much wino beatoff on it. I probably should have tried to scrape
    some of it off.

    Dinner will be a salad.

    We used to have a comforter and in the winter we would add a Hudson Bay blanket. About 10 years ago, after experiencing duvets elsewhere, we
    bought a light weight duvet and cover. We figured that when winter
    rolled around we would get a thicker duvet. We found the light weight
    one to work well enough all winter that we never needed anything heavier.

    People complain enough about how hard it is to fold a fitted sheet. It
    is no worse than trying to stuff a comforter into a cover.

    That depends on what type of duvet cover you have. If it's one with
    the ties in the corners and your comforter has ties on its' four
    corners, then it's easy to get the two wrangled together.

    Turn duvet cover inside out, tie the bottom ties of the comforter and
    duvet cover together in each corner. Turn duvet cover right side out
    again like it's a giant pillowcase with the comforter acting like a
    huge pillow. Reach in and tie the remaining ties together to make
    sure the comforter doesn't shift around inside its' giant pillowcase.

    I do similar. In winter, I keep the shades open about 12" from the
    sill. In summer, about 6"

    I have a light blanket that gets used sometimes in Jan/Feb so it get
    washed when I think of it around this time of year and they sits folded
    at the bottom of the bed.

    Grilled cheese. Been wanting it for about a week.

    I rarely buy sliced bread but got some just so I could do that tonight.
    I'll freeze half of it so I can repeat in a few weeks.

    For breakfast, I always have an English muffin and never make sandwiches
    so a loaf bread can be too much at times.

    That depends on what type of duvet cover you have.  If it's one with
    the ties in the corners and your comforter has ties on its' four
    corners, then it's easy to get the two wrangled together.

    Turn duvet cover inside out, tie the bottom ties of the comforter and
    duvet cover together in each corner.  Turn duvet cover right side out
    again like it's a giant pillowcase with the comforter acting like a huge pillow.  Reach in and tie the remaining ties together to make sure the comforter doesn't shift around inside its' giant pillowcase.

    Duvets & covers sound like a mess to deal with. I have a couple of
    bedspreads. Regardless of which one is on the bed, I turn it down to
    the end of the bed. I don't "make the bed" (pull it up) when I get up
    in the morning. I have sets of cotton sheets and several woven cotton blankets. I wash and change them and the cotton pillow-cases on a
    regular basis. I don't change the decor or any of that based on the
    seasons or the weather. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
    Just seems like a lot of extra trouble.

    Grilled cheese.  Been wanting it for about a week.

    My wife offered to make me a grilled cheese a few days ago and I

    No ties on ours. I will keep that in mine if he have to replace it. The

    Who said anything about an el cheapo sewing machine?

    But I don't think you are understanding what I wrote. Sew four (4)
    ties to the inside of the cover at each corner. Sew four (4) ties
    to the comforter at each comforter. That prevents the comforter
    from slipping, sliding, shifting inside the cover. When it's time
    to wash the cover, reach inside and untie the ties at the top of
    the cover, reverse the method I mentioned earlier for getting the
    comforter inside and untie the ties at the bottom of the cover.
    Nothing was said about sewing the ties once tied to the cover
    rendering it unremovable.

    What's for dinner at your house? Are you cooking, having leftovers,
    something light or just snacking? :)


    Leftovers. Ham 'n beans, Rice-A-Roni and Polish sausage and sauerkraut. Usually, we put leftovers in the fridge and throw them out a week later.
    We will find out if our stomachs are made of iron, tonight! ;)

    I will hope for the best! We had chili, although some regular spices and
    stuff was missing, so it was a bit too sweet (too much tomato) but still
    very good.

    No ties on ours. I will keep that in mine if he have to replace it.  The duvet frequently slides down and we have to hold push it up to one  end. grip the cover and end of the duvet together and shake it down.

    It's easy to add twill tape ties to the inside corners of the cover, and
    loops at the corners of the duvet.

    If your wife has a sewing machine or is handy with needle and thread she could sew ties on the comforter and the inside of the duvet cover.  That would eliminate it sliding down.

    Yes.
    Although I prefer loops on the duvet and ties on the cover - less bulky
    that way.

    She is not handy with a needle and thread or with my elcheapo sewing
    machine. I do the sewing that needs to be done.  If I sew it to the
    cover we won't be able to remove it for cleaning.


    Who said anything about an el cheapo sewing machine?

    You said if my wife has a sewing machine or is handy with a needle and
    thread.

    But I don't think you are understanding what I wrote.  Sew four (4)
    ties to the inside of the cover at each corner.  Sew four (4) ties
    to the comforter at each comforter.

    I guess I misunderstood that part because I thought you were suggesting
    they came like that.

    Grilled cheese.  Been wanting it for about a week.

    My wife offered to make me a grilled cheese a few days ago and I

    The word you want is you're not your.

    The other word would be "Cuba".  Unless there is some odd
    city/state/country named "Cuber" which no one is aware of.  The

    President John F. Kennedy used to call Cuba "Cuber". Maybe it was
    deliberate.

    That's a pronunciation common in Bahston. It's called "intrusive
    R". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R



    I grew up in Philadelphia where everyone pronounced every word
    properly. I don't understand why the rest of the country can't do
    the same.

    Fuggeduhboudid!



    Often you could tell the neighborhood they were from by accent.
    South Philly? You may want a drink of wooder. Tacony? Jeet yet? If
    you were from Kensington you may shop at Ak-a-me (Acme) market.

    I bet it was tough transition for Roman Gabriel when he landed
    there...

    How different is it from Maine? Years ago we went to the east coast
    and I had great lobster in a town the locals called Baw Hawba.


    fifteen under zero

    my clothes were wet
    and i was drenched to the bone
    been out ice fishing
    too much repetition
    make a man wanna leave
    the only home he's known
    sailing out of the gulf
    and we headed for saint pierre
    nothin' to declare
    all we had was gone
    we broke down along the coast
    but what hurt the most
    was when the people there said
    you better keep movin' on

    Grilled cheese.  Been wanting it for about a week.

    My wife offered to make me a grilled cheese a few days ago and I
    suggested that she try making it in the air fryer. She had never done
    that before and gave it a try. She aced it. It was one of the best
    grilled sandwiches I ever had.


    I will have to try that.  Could be lunch this week.


    Just make tje sandwich the way you usually do, preheat the air fryer to
    high and give it 4 minutes.


    I realize I'm likely the only one *not* thrilled with the air fryer but
    this is definitely not how I cook a grilled cheese sandwich. I melt the
    the butter in the pan, not spread on the bread. Then brown one side
    until the cheese is nice and melty, turn it and brown the other side.
    Assuming you do butter the bread, seems to me the butter would melt and
    drip off through the little grate at the bottom of the air fryer. You'd
    lose all that yummy buttery goodness. Please elucidate.

    washed anyway. All I need to do is to put the assembled sandwich into
    the preheated unit and let go for 4 minutes and I get a grilled cheese
    sandwich with the cheese (real cheddar) nicely melted, tomato and onion
    nicely warmed and the bread a lovely gold brown that is slightly
    crispy. It's way better than grilling in a pan.

    My wife has made seasonal coffee table runners that are easy to change

    Nothing to lose, of course. Except the buttery (margarine?) goodness
    that drips away and has to be washed away from the under the grate in
    the air fryer and the base. I use a scant amount of butter in a small non-stick skillet, just enough to brown the bread on both sides. Add a
    little more butter if needed after you turn the sandwich in an already
    hot pan. There is never anything left to be cleaned other than to maybe
    wipe the pan with a paper towel when done.

    I cooked my most recent grilled cheese on thinly sliced bakery sourdough
    bread, sliced *real* cheddar (not that processed sliced cheese food crap
    that former poster Gary espoused) and sliced Swiss. Very tasty, quick
    and easy and I didn't have to clean a counter-top electrical appliance. Naturally, if the air fryer method works well, go for it!

    that before and gave it a try. She aced it. It was one of the best
    grilled sandwiches I ever had.


    I will have to try that.  Could be lunch this week.


    Just make tje sandwich the way you usually do, preheat the air fryer to
    high and give it 4 minutes.


    I realize I'm likely the only one *not* thrilled with the air fryer but
    this is definitely not how I cook a grilled cheese sandwich.  I melt the
    the butter in the pan, not spread on the bread.  Then brown one side until the cheese is nice and melty, turn it and brown the other side. Assuming
    you do butter the bread, seems to me the butter would melt and drip off through the little grate at the bottom of the air fryer.  You'd lose all
    that yummy buttery goodness.  Please elucidate.

    Jill

    Your majesty is correct. Butter would melt quickly in an air fryer. It
    would make a mess to clean up.

    I don't remember if I read about air fryer grilled cheese hear of if I
    tried it on a whim but I can tell you that the results are amazing. I
    actually prefer margarine on grilled cheese. My wife likely used butter
    on hers. No problem if some drips into the unit. It is going to be washed
    anyway. All I need to do is to put the assembled sandwich into the
    preheated unit and let go for 4 minutes and I get a grilled cheese
    sandwich with the cheese (real cheddar) nicely melted, tomato and onion
    nicely warmed and the bread a lovely  gold brown that is slightly
    crispy.   It's way better than grilling in a pan.
    You have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

    Nothing to lose, of course.  Except the buttery (margarine?) goodness that drips away and has to be washed away from the under the grate in the air fryer and the base.  I use a scant amount of butter in a small non-stick skillet, just enough to brown the bread on both sides.  Add a little more butter if needed after you turn the sandwich in an already hot pan.  There
    is never anything left to be cleaned other than to maybe wipe the pan with
    a paper towel when done.

    I cooked my most recent grilled cheese on thinly sliced bakery sourdough bread, sliced *real* cheddar (not that processed sliced cheese food crap
    that former poster Gary espoused) and sliced Swiss.  Very tasty, quick and easy and I didn't have to clean a counter-top electrical appliance. Naturally, if the air fryer method works well, go for it!

    Jill

    Some people are good at identifying accents. A few years back we were
    visiting my niece who was living in Tallinn Estonia. While we were there
    she took us to visit the Irish ambassador. She was a good friend of his
    wife. She said that when she met him he had detected her accent and
    surmised correctly that she was from southern Ontario and, more
    precisely Toronto, which was true. As it turned out, his sister live in
    our town and lived about a mile down the road from me.

    I new a guy who was in a bar in Louisiana and the waitress said:
    "Do you want more arse?"

    Every year I have to object to her getting carried away with the

    occasion, but that there is a point where it just gets ridiculous.



    Sorry, the seasonal seems a bit overdone there but then, we only
    decorate at Christmas and Don does some at Halloween.

    At Christmas it's a tree (fake now) and some solar things in the yard, sometimes a home made christmas candle.

    At Halloween Don likes to put Halloween themed stuff on a wood CD rack
    that faces the front picture window. (boys like to play!)

    FYI the Oz "accent" derives from their alcoholism, from slurring their words whilst drunk...

    I didn't make that up.

    Ed himself posted that he looked up his cleaning lady's dress back when he first hired her to clean his new goat barn. I guess it's a fringe benefit.

    A woman with whom I had been intimate with before told me that she
    enjoyed penetration with cold vegetables. I knew that it was an
    invitation, but I never took her up on it. My reasoning was as such. I
    knew that she did not reciprocate oral sex, and the cold vegetables
    would have left her vagina in a very unappealing state. I really liked
    her, and found her *very* physically attractive, but there was never
    going to be any permanent relationship because she did not reciprocate
    oral sex, and that was a deal-breaker, as it damned well should be.
    That's just the way it is.

    My word, this reads like something from "The Kinsey Report"...!!!
