Oh my, Lily has a boo boo paw. Nothing scary or frightening, mind you, just a little limp. In fact, sometimes she forgets about it and jumps around as though there's nothing wrong. I'm sure she'll be raring to go for our morning walk... outside... in the cold. It's 35 (F) here in Central Pa. There's a chance of snow flurries on Monday. And yes, that is my sole day off until next Sunday.
They NYT Cooking section had a recipe for 'old-fashioned beef stew.' Yum. Since I am off Monday, and it is supposed to be a bit blustery, I thought I'd cook up a pot. I used to eat Dinty Moore until I realized there was so much sodium and fat in each can. Maybe I'll bake a loaf of bread, too. Now don't that sound tasty? Freshly baked bread and beef stew on a cold, windy, pre-election day?
I saw where the Idiot Jerk in the White House has cancelled his plans for a large election night extravaganza at his International Hotel in Washington. Invitations for the 'epic' event had been sent out. Instead, he's going to be holding a smaller event, possibly at the White House, a place where social distancing is avoided to please the plague. No actual explanation has been given. Maybe he's expecting a boo boo moment.
And what about Texas? The total number of people who have participated in early voting in the 2020 election has now exceeded those who went to the polls in 2016. Republicans hate this shit. They believe no one should vote until election day. They want you to stand in lines and wait. They want voting to be a difficult process because in their tiny little minds this is a demonstration of party loyalty, and no one is more loyal than a Republican. In fact, the whole thought process behind voter intimidation is base on that single belief. But then they've never been too smart, have they?
So, let's show them our inner Halloween and scare the shit out of them!
Boo.... Boo
can we come to your house on monday for beef stew and fresh bread? hope lily's paw heals soon.
ReplyDeleteSure. usually their booboos are a lot like those of 2 year old's, put a band aid on and it's gone.
DeleteMy fingers are crossed.
ReplyDeleteAfter 2016 I think most intelligent people are on edge.
DeleteI'll be glad when Tuesday is over, but from the sounds of it, we have a long wait before we know for sure who won. And then the bastard in charge has another three months to whip his sycophants into a frenzy. Three days ago, our television news reported laws in effect that people may not congregate in front of polling places openly carrying their weapons. Our local newspaper reported that someone was going door to door saying that he was an 'official ballot collector' for mail in ballots. I never would have believed I would see these days in my own country.
ReplyDeleteThese are desperate Republicans who care about one thing, their own sorry ass, and there are some serious signs saying their ass is going to be fired.
DeleteI hope that the majority who went out to vote, were democrats.
ReplyDeleteI want some Dinty Moore now. I loved that beef stew. I would buy at least 3-4 cans a week. It was sooo good. Those were the days when I also thought Banquet Pot Pies were delish and Totino's frozen pepperoni pizzas were an appetizer for said Dinty Moore stew. Just for old times sake, I might have some tonight, as the temperatures are really really low. Ohhh I've gone to that unhealthy place in my mind.
Dinty Moore - one of the original comfort foods.
DeleteMmmm beef stew and homemade bread. Add in some dumplings (and a bottle of wine) and it sounds like heaven to me!
ReplyDeleteI Just have to decide what kind of bread to make, sliceable or something you can tear and dunk in the gravy.
DeleteI enjoying the day with scary movies and tonight some red wine and a slow roasted New England pot roast with all the fixins.
ReplyDeleteNo news for me till election day. Im burnt.
I only read, no videos, and I love pot roast!!
