And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I seem to only be able to now hold 15 minutes in its memory. Do you know how I can fix that?

Reformat the drive, maybe? Mine never had that problem, so I'm not sure. (If you ask in the Tech thread you might get better answers.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Mac and I are at the place that makes his brace. I think he is going to need a new one and I do not think insurance will cover it. No use worrying until I find out for sure.

I thought we passed a dunkiin on the way here, but nope. Need coffee.

“Not dead yet!”

More adventures in slow cooking. Today is a chicken and sausage etouffée. Bought chicken breasts and drumsticks. deboned the breasts, but left the skin on-- dredged the chicken in flour with citrus seasoning salt, pepper, garlic, nutmeg, allspice, and oregano. Browned it, then added cajun andouille and green chile and habañero sausages. Chicken stock, butter, and I cheated by using boxed dirty rice with more seasonings in it.

Finishing off with a traminer/riesling and letting it go for the rest of the day.

ETA to try to shove coffee through interwebs to belle.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ozzie just made a truly alarming set of noises, and then threw up. On my shoes.

He did! Sadly, I was two rooms away and didn't get there in time.

I'm pretending this is because he ate too fast, and not something more.

I can't eat rice, so I'm experimenting with couscous instead, which is pretty yummy, actually. Does anybody here use quinoa instead? It seems way pricier at the market, so I'm not sure if I should try it....
