Sunday – day off from politics

Trying to spend a politics free Sunday here.  Ventured out to buy some groceries and encountered only one screaming moppet as I quickly moved up and down the aisles.  Initially, as usual, I intended to buy only a few things and ended up with almost a full cart of stuff, such is the habit of buying food for a family with kids, even though the kids are grown up and gone.  Oh, well, why keep a large chest freezer around and a large side-by-side fridge/freezer if you’re not going to fill them up, right?  Beef stew and either some cornbread or biscuits for supper tonight, depending which I settle on as the stew cooks.

Since the few people who read my blog seem to be men, here’s a website I wonder if any of you have checked out – Pinterest.  I just love it and am quickly closing in on my 2,000th pin.  Recipes, crafts, decorating, sewing, and so much more.  Yes, it’s wonderful. I find so many things to express my personality………..

    Oh Thank You so very much! As if I don’t already waste half my life online as it is.

    So, in retaliation, have you perused these sites, read some interesting articles, and tried some of the recipes?

    Just because we are (extremely macho – stop giggling) men doesn’t mean we are incapable of cooking (mainly since we’ve had to learn since no-one will do it for us. It’s hard when no one loves you – sob 😉 )

    • Why thank-you, I need to send that Home On The Range link to my youngest daughter, because she would appreciate that combination of interests – guns, gear and gourmet cooking, and on top of that her stupid dog looks uncannily like the dog in that blog. She and her husband have since acquired two more dogs and they sure like their guns too. I made all my kids learn to handle a needle and thread and to cook and my father made me learn how to change oil and tires, even though I was too scared to drive (flat out refused to learn), rofl. That thankless task was left to my husband, who spent countless weekends on the back roads of Fort Bragg teaching me. I would stop the car at each oncoming vehicle from the opposite direction…. One time the Marines from Camp LeJeune were training and sweet mother of Jesus, it was like a scene from some war movie on those back roads that day. To my dismay several yards in front of me a Black Hawk helicopter descended from the sky, making a landing right on the road. I turned to my husband and with my penchant for wanting to know the “rules”, studiously inquired, “Who has the right of way?”….. How many times have I heard that phrase muttered in 30+ years,,,,,,,,, Some things you can never live down.
