I love those tiny canned oysters. I'll open up a can and pour a mix of shoyu and sugar and eat it straight out of the can. It's quick and awesome.

I'll have to try it although I tend to kill stuff that requires feeding and watering. It's sort of my specialty.

Lots of chinks get sick trying to eat the grub they ate back in
good old asia.
 
Almost none ever go back. They do whine a lot though.

Is that a fund raiser? What kind of fish are they frying? What is the price?
People used to sell barbecue chicken to raise funds here but Costco roast chicken pretty much wiped out that idea.

It's an interesting cereal. It's super dense so the box is kind of on the thin side. The width and height is pretty much standard though.
 
The morning, I had some Calbee Fruit cereal. It's a Japanese cereal that I found in the store. A 500g bag cost over 8 bucks so I must have been rolling in dough at the time. It's pretty good. It's like the opposite of Grape Nuts i.e., it's easy on your choppers. As I recall, Grapes Nuts can do a number on your gums.

I don't know how the cereal got its' name and I've never seen grapes with
nuts.

Kielbasa and rye bread are great together. You can keep the beer, though.

The hazelnut ice cream sounds rather tempting. I don't do afternoon or
evening coffee; not since I retired and it was at work that I drank coffee
that late in the day and that would be the night shift.

I consider myself a sourdough breeder....if it is well established,
many starters damn near rise from the dead. In fact, I named one
Lazarus some years back.
 
Just as I like to try to bring back a plant that seems destined for
the compost, I do love me some sourdough revival!

The starter creation and maintenance are the easy parts.
 
Knowing your starter well enough that you understand how it behaves
during the entire bread making process can be the fun part.
 
My last baking batch included 10 loaves. Well made sourdough freezes
very well and it, too, revives very nicely, as if freshly made. No
joke.

Graham knows a LOT about sourdough, as does US Janet. Both are
terrific bakers who love to share hints.
 
Lordy- Janet & Graham....how the hell long have we been talking about
this stuff? At least 15 years, maybe?

Sounds like easy living. Our weather is fast changing too. My guess is that the difference is that we usually have cooling trade-winds. When I visited Florida back in the late 80's, the main thing that concerned me was alligators and the water. I thought I heard alligators swishing about outside my bedroom windows. The tap water smelled kind of like a swamp. How is the water there these days?

Sounds like the weather here, if we don't have a drought.

Sitting at the counter it is a nice view out the back. When out on the
lanai, can't see the neighbors on either side.

I don't mind telling you if someone had a "Flowbee" I could have borrowed
I'd sure have given it a try. I did lightly trim the top but made sure
I didn't look like a 5-year-old who found the scissors.

I LOVE the dark cabinets and white countertops. And I like that on each side
of your stove you have plenty of room to move a pot or pan off the stove or
have a waiting dish for whatever you're cooking.
 
Ummmm, do you ever have alligators come 'visit'?

Too bad Popeye wasn't there. He would have screwed the old lady and
gave her a ride home after he finished.

Popeye, I bet that doctor did that to hump yoose old mexican woman
in the parking lot while yoose was inside oogling the nurse's tits.
 
Yoose will probably get a bill from the doc after he saw how ugly
yoose old dried up wimmen was.
 
He deserves to be paid for putting up with yoose sorry ass, and
yoose old wimmens.

Surely they must know some people just don't have any near or living
relatives.

I would retire today if I were only worth $20 per hour and I'm ten years

Has anybody seen/heard anything about the meat supply chain ? The
store we buy meat from has plenty on the shelves , but the prices are
kinda frightening . We still have enough to last about another month ,
but I'm looking forward to replenishing the freezer when prices are once
again reasonable .
