Wifey and I went for a nice hike in the preserve. My knee and back are talking mutiny now so it looks like layabout the rest of the day.

Nah, don't worry about it. Just put on the bite suit and start running. The dog will take care of the rest.

Spare ribs are on the menu for supper. Cooking slow and low in the crockpot.

I love crockpot cooking for stuff like this.

Did things today, now I'm tired. Beautiful 80 and sunny day today so the trip to menards for two small things took an hour and a half because of traffic.

Think I'm gonna make tacos for dinner

I'm an olive fan. Love me some green olives... Especially those that are stuffed with garlic or jalapeno or blue cheese or feta cheese. I'll eat them straight out of the jar with my fingers (this ensures that nobody else in the house will snipe my olives).

On a similar note, also love those cherry peppers stuffed with provolone cheese, and prosciutto.

Slice them up and eat with saltine crackers or slices of a baguette (painted with olive oil and toasted). Yummy.

Like it.

If you get all of that on a tee shirt, you are going to have to put on 50 pounds for people to read all that.

yah!
looked up vinegar chikens only to find there are more recipes than for any other food in the history of eating.
As much as I love all olives (eyeballing the last one in my martini...Trader Joes stuffed wif jalapeno and garlic) TLC dislikes olives so I need a vinegar chicken recipe without olives, without a third of a cup of salt(!!!), and can be used with chiken tits instead of thighs/legs...yeah, she don't like them either.

surprised to learn of the use of vinegar in short duration brines.

Most of the time I'm cooking chicken in the crock pot and stuff, I use thighs rather than breasts. Thighs are a bit cheaper but also not as lean (need some fat for juicy - meat juices come from fat not water).

Thighs are a good balance between pure white meat and pure dark meat.

Saw a recipe the other day that made empanadas using braised oxtail. I've eaten oxtail soup that a coworker's wife (filipino) made but I've never cooked with it my self. Local Wally World has oxtail now and again for sale. Might have to grab a package next time I see it and make some empanadas.

My ex wife's grandmother and grandfather (RIP) were immigrants from Chile. They were lucky enough to get out and get to the US during the Pinochet dictatorship. I used to have one of her personal cookbooks somewhere. All family recipes and stuff. I should try to find it one of these days in a storage box somewhere.

Litto Paul (her grandfather) was a proud American. He'd proudly say he's an American and Chilean by birth. On on of his 80th birthday, we signed up for him to get a letter from the President (Clinton at that time).

At that time the President (staff) would send you a birthday letter with a the President's signature and seal for special milestones and stuff. Just has to send a request to some White House e-mail address a couple months in advance.

He was so proud that the President sent him a special letter for his birthday. He had is framed and stuff.

(didn't have the heart to tell him that we sent an e-mail and some low level staff member just sends them out in bulk... why rain on the guys parade... in his mind, the President of the USA sent him a personal letter for his 80th birthday)

First day at the new gig tomorrow. 8:30 AM for all the orientation and paperwork crap with HR. Then probably rest of the day getting my feet wet on the manufacturing floor and start to get familiar with what and how things work.

It will be good to get back doing some engineering work after 3 years of mindless BS at Walmart. Haven't really used my brain since I finished up the IT degree this past November. If I don't exercise my brain, I'll turn into a zombie.

I would like to retire but I don't think it would last long. I need to do stuff. You have a house and ongoing projects to keep you busy. I live in a apartment/townhouse thing. I don't have to deal with landscaping, lawn mowing, any issues in the place... if something comes up you just call the maintenance guys and they fix it... which is a plus.

When I owned a house (well actually the bank owned it, I was just paying them mortgage) I always had some side project going on. Make a man room in the basement, put up a shed in the backyard, maybe a 4th bedroom or home office in walk up attic, shelving and work benches in the garage.

Not enough to keep me busy consistently. I walk the dog, and go fishing when I can. I hope as time goes by I find a fishing buddy with a boat, or at least figure out the inshore or surf fishing. I dunno...

I enjoy the zen of fishing. And the sheit talkin'. :)
