So: basmati works great. I really love the rice component…it’s almost like Mexican rice that has “popped” a bit. This might even be better than making it with standard white rice.

Oh, that looks good! 😋
And since Cajun is on the menu, sazeracs are the cocktail du jour.
Have I ever mentioned that these got me through grad school? 🥃
Ask and ye shall receive. 👋 🍑
Making a big ol’ pot of Cajun goodness tonight. My favorite jambalaya recipe…trying it with basmati rice tonight since we’ve discovered @elleqsabine.bsky.social can eat that due to its low glycemic index. Since basmati is amazing in general I’m sure it will be great.
Note: biryani attempt next week
A good day for sore tushies
Excellent! My wife did too, though I didn’t get pics of her pink cheeks. 😉
The good ol’ days. 😂
Not terribly long (Hoppers) but it’s a bit of a drive away so we have a few hours.
I’m sure she’s seen me swat though I do generally try to be discreet about it. I jokingly said the other day that I was going to stop being so discreet though since we haven’t as much alone time.
It is a distinctive sound, though perhaps more so to those of us with attuned ears.
This is where “Find My” on the iPhone comes in handy. 😂
Though we almost had that happen when I was spanking a friend on the couch upstairs while she slept downstairs…the night we discovered she no longer slept soundly & consistently. That was a sad day.
Yup. And “poking”.
Daughter announced unexpectedly that she’s going out to see a movie with a HS friend tonight.
So as soon as @elleqsabine.bsky.social is done sitting at her desk for work I can work on making it uncomfortable for her to sit. 😈
I’m also always annoyed when I buy a new light fixture or lamp or something & discover it uses a non-standard bulb as I’m installing it. Why would you do that???
Absolutely not. I can’t count the number of times I’ve thought I had the right type of bulb or right size nut/bolt & then had to shamefacedly turn around & go back to the store.
Most recent time was in December leaving on our trip for daughter’s graduation & having a turn signal go out. 😂
Only other way to know is see if there’s a sticker on the fixture - like inside the glass or whatever where the bulb goes - that specifies what bulb to use (wattage & base size). That would also be on the long-gone packaging but that’s not helpful in your case, bu there may be a decal.
It can be tricky. The most common ones are standard base (normal everyday bulbs) & chandelier base (smaller in some decorative light fixtures) but you occasionally run into other odd sizes. If you have old bulb, might be best taking it in to a Lowe’s or Home Depot & comparing or asking an associate.

You young whippersnapper. 😜
I think they had just opened up FB to non-.edu when I got it because it was still an option to verify your university but not required. But I was a slightly late adopter on that.
This of course means that you are quite definitely a vampire. 🧛♀️
Dial-up on a university UNIX shell. Netscape from a free disk at the CompUSA checkout. AOL…but CompuServe before that. 😂
It’s on his Wikipedia page. 😉 I happened to look him up recently to try to figure out what his deal was.
Kid you not, his mother planned to name him one or the other (2 uncles) and wrote both on birth certificate form planning to erase one, and then forgot to.
I get it - realized early on in my EMS days that you don’t get to pick your patients, but they’re still your patients.
One for the left & one for the right. 👋 👋 🍑
Sometimes it takes awhile until you can prod the memory without it causing pain. It’s OK to take that time…and also OK “enjoy” the memory eventually.
The urge to do this every day is strong.
Ran out of creamer in my office mini fridge so it’s tea the rest of the week until the supermarket run. And I’m not even sorry about it. ☕️
