'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh man, Consuela. (I know that's what -t said, but she is correct!) Good luck with that. It's definitely the right kind of fuse? That's my only thought.
So, plot twist: We're going to see my father for dinner, not lunch, so I'm having lunch now. It is gorgeous out, so next is a walk, possibly with errands, but maybe not!
I called the electrician I usually call, but I remember that he's not very good about responding. And it is the weekend. I may just google up emergency electricians.
When I worked for the library catalog conversion company, we were setting up a deal with the University of Kuwait to convert their entire system. Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein invaded, and we got a call saying, "We won't be able to go through with the project, they've just burned down the library. "
Goat chops smothered in leek gravy in the pressure cooker.
That sounds amazing, -t.
I picked up some green chiles at the grocery store, so I had an omelet with minced ham, fire roasted chile, cheese, and tomato for lunch. Yum.
Mm, that sounds great
This morning (it is still morning, barely) I have steelcut oatmeal and raisins. Nom.
That sounds good, Anne.
Everybody had eggs in a basket this morning.
Ok, a couple close calls with the grinder ( no blood) and I think I'll give it a rest. Got all the nooks with the small wheel, slathered chemicals on places no grinder can reach.
And my hands still work. Probably going to take another couple hours of work. Then painting some stubborn rust spots with special paint, THEN clamping, drilling and bolting, the final paint. Really hope I can get this done this weekend...
Now that I've eaten it, I think I can recommend without reservation to anyone else who might have goat rack chops lying around with no clear purpose, smothering them with leek gravy works very well. I'm even pleased with the thickening by konjac root.
Hivemind questions, fluorescent tubes: I have 4 tubes in the kitchen. It appears that 3 are burnt out. I replaced two of the burnt out ones with new tubes that are lower wattage (because the old ones were always too bright) but now the new tubes aren't coming on either. Bad ballast or do I need to get exactly the same tubes that I had before? And, supposing I can get new tubes that work, should I replace the one that still lights up now or wait til it burns out?
