I’ve got some hot beef curry simmering on the stove and we are listening to some Christmas tunes on this little Klipsch Bluetooth speaker.

Not bad for $49.

Don't use curry too often here, but no one has ever not taken seconds of my Sunshine Chicken with that, mustard, brn sugar and OJ in it!

CHK has just gotten as expensive as beef is supposed to be. Folks that get angry and state food prices have been stable for a number of years are either on dope or beyond hope!

 

Got a couple lbs for * $4/lb and made a kind of Pasta Carbonara yesterday. Had a full 2.5 qt pyrex for a few minutes last night. Was gonna get a pic cause it's put a smile on my face since then. Couldn't until I ate some more just now.. this is cold and going back in the fridge for lunch tomorrow!

* That's four dollars a pound. BIG Goof

Made it through the lasagna, the tamales and refried beans...

time to make some chicken... well, turkey, and dumplings tonight. We have turkey stock.

 

I snagged about 10lb of sweet potatoes yesterday... for free. Wife doesn't eat them. So.....

 Maybe I'll make a pie. Bet she will eat that. Me? I can bake them and eat 'em straight out of the skin, as a snack

Usually good to find another with similar tastes in music!

Been lookin' myself. I really liked Game of Thrones. At amazon prime video I signed up for an HBOMax trial thinking I'd binge on it again, it's been years. $15 if it takes longer than a week. Started watching the prequal made a couple years ago... not sure I'll make it through this series. Did not expect it to be GOT but after the fourth and fifth not watching them all at once...  ?

next time you should invite him to get a back massage , he will like it and never complain about your loud music again

7 pm already, the day was dark gray and 0 degrees Celsius ( 32 F ) .  Today was the time again, the annual baking of vanilla hazelnut Kipferl, a German Christmas traditional pastry. Almost 170 pieces I have baked , now I need a back massage. @grasshopper  I´ll come over to get your special woofer back massage 😂 Sure it helps to reduce my back pain a little bit.

Those things are great!  Remember having them when I was little.

I'm thinking hazelnuts might be why they stopped making them.  Today though?  Think I'm gonna give it a shot.  Thanks George!

[Dave1291]
