Good 29º cold toilet seat foggy morning. UGH... so tired of this.
Want sun. Got a little yesterday. Warmed to 43º. Hopefully will get some rain
like predicted and get rid of the fog. Medford Airport socked in and flights
canceled and delayed still...
About 12:30 yesterday....
I
got this from Cyndi Moreno (wife of the infamous Pete)...
Do you remember the famous Olympic skier Picabo Street (pronounced
Pee-Ka-Boo) Well, Picabo is not just an athlete. She is now a nurse currently
working at an Intensive Care Unit of a large metropolitan hospital. She is not
permitted to answer the hospital telephones any longer. It caused too much
confusion when she would answer the phone and say, Picabo,
I.C.U.
A good clean joke is hard to find these days - pass it on! Admit it ...
You're smiling)
Some days it's just not easy to get things done at my desk...when a
sleepy cat takes over!
Then if that isn't enough, he finds strange places to hang out and watch
what is going on....
Historically this date...
...obviously a time when there were no plans for
escape!
1981 – In the 39th game
of his 3rd NHL season
Wayne
Gretzky scores 5 goals giving him 50 on the year setting a new NHL record
previously held by Maurice Richard and
Mike
Bossy who earlier had each scored 50 goals in 50
games.
And
births this date include.... If you want to read about each and/or see a photo of them, click on the underlined name....
(Interesting that two band members shared the same birthday and two
TV hosts on the same show share the same birthday!)
Yesterday I had to take the trash out to the road, pick up is this morning.
Dude hadn't had good run in a while so he was a happy camper.... This was around
2pm..... a tad more sun... still fog hanging on the mountain side.
Earlier I had made "no bake fruit cake" a recipe the infamous Trish
Bowler...(wife of Lt. John LASD ret) had given me. Strange recipe. I made half
of the original ... 1½ boxes of vanilla wafers, crushed. 1# of pecans (calls
for walnuts), 1# yellow raisins, 1# candied cherries, 1# candied pineapple, 1
can sweetened condensed milk, and 3/4 cup whiskey.
I used my largest bowl to mix it all in.... using my hands. Trish said the
original recipe for double this amount she had to mix in a trash bag in the
sink! Interesting about the whiskey...found an unopened bottle in the cupboard
with a tag that said, "Merry Christmas to Jerry from Sid and Charline"... that had to be
from 1997 or 1998. She passed away in 1999 and he a short time later. Jerry
loved 'Jack in the Black' but when I decided I liked tequila he crossed over and
became a tequila nut also.
Refrigerated the cake after packing it into the loaf pans...
A knife run around the edges and a little encouragement it came out of the
pan and I sliced it. Really good. Very tasty. (Yes Big Dave, you will get some!)
Dinner last night was a couple Scottish Eggs heated in infused olive oil
and some stir-fried veggies (broccoli slaw, mushrooms, celery, carrots, and
tomatoes...
Last night I recorded (Tivo'd) the Kennedy Center Honors..... that way I
can scan through the commercials and the boring parts. Enjoyed Billy Joel,
Shirley McLaine, Herbie Hancock, and Carlos Santana. Didn't know who Martina
Arroyo (opera singer) was. Loved the dancing and singing and music. Then there
was this idiot who was elected President sitting there with his smug arrogant
smirk and CHEWING GUM with his mouth partly open! OMG! Presidential? Class?
NOT! What a piece of work... It's the "it's all about me" thing. GAWD, 3 more
years of this asshole!
Ok Ok Ok.... off
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

National Bicarbonate of Soda Day, or Baking Soda Day, celebrates the
many benefits and uses of Bicarbonate of Soda.
Just how does Baking Soda work and what, specifically, does it do? Few people
seem to know. It's quite simple. We will skip the chemistry lesson and how
Baking Soda is made. Let's just talk to what it is, and what it does.
Bicarbonate of soda is a chemical compound - sodium carbonate or sodium
bi-carbonate. When heated, it creates carbon dioxide, a gas. The gas aids a
variety of bakery products to rise as they cook.
Many people just think of Bicarbonate of Soda as something you use for
baking. But, it has so many more uses. Here are just a few of them:
- Baking- helps baked goods, like bread, to rise
- Relieve stomach indigestion and heartburn when mixed in water
- Removing odors in the refrigerator, vents, storage areas, and closets
- Removing odor in kitty litter
