Congrats and best wishes to them, Gud.

ION, I was watching a cooking video with Carla from BA and now I desperately want a Brocco Taco and you will too after you see this video
I do want a Brocco Taco, and I'm wondering if I can achieve similar results without buying a grill press or whatever it's called that she's using. Ooh, and I could use the hatch chile corn tortillas that I have!
For dinner, though, I've already planned to make refried beans from pinto beans and put a bean burrito in my face.
I'm not saying all these things are of equal importance.
I LOLed.

Is intolerance to spicy food a superpower? I'm eating leftover shrimp biryani (that was a bit too spicy to begin with, but cooled down with raita on it) that seems to have gotten WAY spicier in the fridge. Or possibly I have become even more intolerant of spicy food in the last 8 hours. Dang it, Moderna!
So far, no side effects, though I didn't really expect any this early. (I have read about some people developing side effects within a few hours, but that's more on the outer edge of the bell curve.)

Congrats on the promotion and engaged offspring, Gud!
I helped moderate a symposium session today, and all my coworkers decided to go out for Mexican food after work. On May 5. I wished them well and ordered delivery. ‘Cause I wouldn’t have been willing to deal with that crowd before the pandemic.

I think you could just smush things with the back of an iron skillet or something similar.

Congratulations Gud!
My car is in the shop this week to have the damage from my wreck last summer repaired, Allstate willing, so I'm feeling even more hemmed in than is pandemic-normal. I did think to save a package of Mexican street corn to fix in honor of the holiday, even though there are no decent Mexican places within walking distance. (Okay, there's a taco truck down by the police station, but I don't think it's open at night and I'm sure not walking to that neighborhood to find out.)

Our wings are not tired.
Congrats on all, Gud! I use the Instant Pot quite a lot. Love it for hard boiled eggs. Easy peasy quick and perfect.
Today is the celebration of Karl's birth. If ya see him around give him birthday hugs.
Mona leaves today after a 10 day visit. It has been a whirlwind. Visited with my MIL yesterday, went and did our nails, ate out at Hurricane Alley and there was a Mitch McConnell doppelganger. We tried not to stare and didn't ask to have a picture with him. My sister looks quite like Kathy Bates and has had people ask to take pictures with her, which she does in good humor. Oh, and my nails are quite turquoise. I like it! SIL took a picture so I have to see if she posted it.
