Yes, that's the brand of thin crust white pizza with spinach I love.
I've got one in the freezer. :)

I think she got tired of it a long time ago. There has been film
footage throughout his term in office with her walking sort of behind
and off to the side from him, as if distancing herself. I remember news
footage (pick a network, any network) of one stroll across the White
House lawn a few years ago towards Marine One (the helicopter) where he
reached for her hand and she pulled her hand away. I'm only guessing
when I say she is not hoping for "four more years".

As long as she stands off to the side and smiles he doesn't give a shit.

I bought some T shirts the other day and they had that new feel and
smell that needed to be washed out. I had some other things that could
go into the wash. The only problem was that I was not going to have
enough air dry time because it is supposed to rain here this afternoon.
I figured I could give it partial air drying by leaving it out until the
rain was imminent.
 
 
I had some cardboard boxes and bags of papers that needed to be burned,
and a pile of brush to get rid off. I hauled the paper and cardboard
out to the brush pile and set it alight. Once it was going will I
figured I could mow the lawn and keep an eye on the fire. By the time I
finished the lawn there were just a couple smouldering chunks of wood
left so I pushed them into the centre of the burn pit. I checked the sky
and figured it was time to bring the laundry in. It was almost dry.
Just as I was heading back into the house the rain started. The weather
radio indicates that it will be pouring rain any minute now.

Indeed, almost as fascinating as an ingredient list for a different
item than the one being discussed.

Better to sink a large clay chimney flue in the ground... with wooden
tubs/half barrels roots will escape through the spaces between the
staves.

The best horseradish I ever had was at my nephew's stag. It was freshly
grated. It was so fresh they had not needed to add vinegar. A little
went a long way.

There is nothing "above the arctic circle". The arctic circle

Add flank steak to that list. When I was a kid Mom bought flank steak
for about 59¢/ per pound. It might have been even less; she shopped at
the military commissary. The last time I looked (last month) flank
steak was selling for $13.99 per pound. It's a very tough cut of meat.
It has to be marinated and then grilled or broiled to no more than
medium rare and sliced very thinly across the grain. Otherwise it's
like chewing on leather shoelaces. ;)
 
Thanks for reminding me, I have ox tails in the freezer. :)

My beef about... no pun intended.. is that I don't like to pay those
prices for meat that requires a lot of work, prep time and additional
ingredients, like wine, beer, broth, onions, carrots etc and hours of
cooking when I can pay a little more for a cut of meat that I can slap
on a pan for a couple minutes and it's done.
 
 
 
> Thanks for reminding me, I have ox tails in the freezer. :)
 
Mmmmmm. One of my favourites. When I was first married it used to cost
25-30 cents for a bag of oxtails that would be enough for two dinners
for two of us. Not it costs $15-20 to get enough to even bother cooking
them,

Sometimes those lines move quickly. I was at Costco a few days ago for
seniors hour 8-9. I arrived at 7:40 and there was already dozens of
people in line. I was in the store within 10 minutes and checked out and
on my way by 8:10. I had been to another Costco a couple weeks
earlier, but about 11 am. I counted 50 people ahead of me. The line
seemed to move in surges of 15 or more. After the third surge I was at
the head of the line... 12 minutes to get into the store. I breezed
through for the things I needed. Check with monitored and I was directed
to a free checkout. Frankly, whatever time I spent in line to get in I
saved at checkout.

I saw that Butterfly program on Nature last year and enjoyed watching it
again tonight. This time of year there are all sorts of butterflies
flitting around. I found a caterpillar on the lid of my trash can last
month. I gently picked it up and put it in the yard. It had been very
windy so I think it was blown down from a tree. I wonder what sort of
winged creature it might turn into if it doesn't get eaten by birds.
Butterfly or moth?

Canada geese migrate to where they can reproduce and where food is
abundant, they generally do not migrate to above the arctic circle.

I unplugged it for 6 hours. No more annoying unexpected beeps since
then. Thank you very much for your suggestion!
