Giles ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was going to mow the lawn, but we went and got gas, and it started just spewing out.
No lawnmowing today.
But we took the dog for a walk, and now I am gross. Shower in a few minutes.
I don't know if there will be fireworks tonight; it looks like rain.
ETA: Yeah, it's pretty much thunderstorms after 6 here. I think I will make up some teriyaki chicken, and maybe make a strawberry shortcake. M. hasn't watched Harry Potter; maybe we'll see if that's on Netflix and go for it.
We made an America flag cake, and Casper said, "You should tke a picture and put it on the internet for the Buffistas, so they can learn how to make one, too."
I didn't tell her I thought y'all could figure it out (13x9" cake, white frosting, blueberries and strawberries.)
Nope, I'm stumped.
I have had another pancake fail with the damn electric stove. I really need to work on this. I guess more pancakes are in my future....
Use lower heat than you think you need. I think I set my stove somewhere between 2 and 3 for pancakes. (Otherwise, the pan gets way too hot and burning happens.)
Flea, tell Casper I said, "thanks!" That is an excellent idea that I would not have had today. And I have all the stuff on hand.
Dropped over $100 at pearl river and I skipped one whole floor. Oopps. Also got sucked into the scholastic bookstore. Oops again. I am taking a rest in the shade before I hit kid robot. Uncle g is going to be amused at my shopping. Well, amused and head-shakey. Oh well.
First floor vacuumed and mopped. I should really dust, but I hate dusting. I'll do one thing a night.
It just started pouring down rain here. Doesn't look like our fireworks are going to happen. At least it held off until after we marched in the parade!
I had cherry pie for breakfast. I made 8 mini ones instead of a big one so I can freeze the rest. Now I'm making a clafouti and have masses of cherries soaking in both vodka and brandy. I got part way into making cherry jam until I remembered I made it last year and wasn't impressed. So those ones are going in the freezer.
I love msbelle's shopping spree!
Still in Idaho Falls. I had an epic fail with Grace's last bunch of food (note to self, hamburger is NOT a good choice for the g-tube). So I had to throw out that batch and make another. This one is all fruit/veg/avocado and oatmeal.
Also, it's ASS COLD here. I'd like some warmer temps. Maybe 80? Because this 60 degree stuff is for the birds. I guess when we get to Vegas in three days it will be warm enough then. I just have to keep warm until that point.
No swimming pool here but lots of fires in the fire pit.
