I asked how often they ever suggested more sodium for their patients and they said "uhm, well.....almost never". After increasing the sodium, not only does my food taste better, but the nighttime leg cramps have gone away. |

grazie - I just hadn’t been aware of when they’d arrive. It worked out - they knew I had made this today and the oxy wasn’t too awful. I got good compliments for both the “pure” avocado and the guacamole (with cilantro / jalapeńo). Of course, lime juice in both.
The other mom was very thankful for us having sour cream because I guess the pico de Gallo was even spicier than expected lol i really should have cut my burrito in half before eating it. Omg. |
I'm making what is called "crack chicken" tonight.
|
I only started to make guacamole at home in 2020 thanks to this thread, so it’ll probably be 24 years before it becomes boring for me. I live an extremely simple and simple-minded lifestyle.

our supper guests are bringing supper from La Corneta taqueria. I told them that I’d make guacamole and Pico de Gallo plus that I have Jarritos and topo Chico.
oops it’s starting to oxidize so I wrapped them. I prepped an hour ago because I didn’t actually know their eta and these are potential future in-laws. |
eric’s chinese, San Francisco ca - carryout
veggie egg rolls onion pancakes (deep fried) white rice shanghai chicken with Green flakes like Bonito Veggie moo shoo with pancake and hoisin sauce mongolian beef beijing noodle soup I’ll have nice leftovers for this week except when I have luncheon with my bestie. I’ll have to go to Safeway to buy bok choy & cabbage to offset these leftovers. I can reheat the Mongolian beef with tofu to make a pseudo version of beef with bean cake, a dish I’ve enjoyed from Chinese restaurants for decades albeit without the brown bean sauce also made pancakes for my child’s supper. I’m now convinced that I’ve never cooked pancakes until today. I’m not exactly sure!

I still have one unmarried son. I can always hope the dowry includes 50 yard line seats. |

Unfortunately BamaVol Jr #2 lives in Des Moines and his girlfriend is from Bay St Louis MS. Neither of those places is anywhere near the Neyland 50 yard line. #3 lives in Tennessee but he’s already married and if his bride brought tickets to the union, they’ve kept it a secret from me. |

sometimes people might use one of many synonyms for each parent so that if they’re the same gender, each person has a different title that equates to the parent. Eg mommy momma mama ma. One can also use the more neutral term of “maternal parent” or “paternal parent” or “parental unit.” |

Last night - sockeye salmon with a soy/mustard/garlic marinade. Couscous with pine nuts, green onion, feta. Sauteed chard with garlic. This is the best cooked salmon preparation I've tried, and (to my wife's relief) I would eat it that way again.
Tonight - shrimp in a tomato sauce (made with whatever I find), over parmesan polenta. Side salad. |
