My computer will crash soon

[susandennis]

I always keep a windows solitaire window open on my laptop and play it at odd times during the day. I play Vegas 1 card at a time, cumulative scoring. When I get more than $500 in the hole, I start again at $0. Right now I'm up $724. Historically, if I get ahead, my computer usually decides it's time to crash. (This ASUS has a short in the mother board that randomly sometimes gives me the Windows error screen and reboots when I plug in or unplug the power.)

I don't ever remember being more than $500 ahead so I am sure a crash will happen momentarily.

howeird reported that the Hobbit Hole special menu breakfast currently at Denny's was good. So this morning, after my swim class, I went to Denny's. howeird totally undersold this meal. It was fabulous. It was so fabulous, I might even go back tomorrow. If not tomorrow then one day next week. There was also a grilled turkey sandwich which looked excellent.

I made a couple of grocery stops. A few years ago, during the holiday season, Ocean Spray offered their cranberry jelly in small (2-3 serving) cans. I used up my last one about a month ago, at the time thinking that I could easily get more since the season was upon us... But, alas, all everyone has is giant, family sized cans. So, I'm now on the hunt.

No plans for the rest of the weekend. There's a giant soccer playoff game here tomorrow evening so if I do decided to do anything that requires the car, I will need to finish it off before about 2ish tomorrow. Otherwise, whatever happens happens. I have my usual knitting, TV and book. I'm good.

I had not heard of the Hobbit Hole menu. I found a Huff Post article about it and was amused and impressed enough to post the article on facebook (and telling you here because you said you're not on facebook.)

I'm not a LOTR fan but I saw a few items on that menu that I'd love to try. Which breakfast did you try? Those red velvet pancake puppies look like a real treat...

This is what I had - it looked and tasted even better than this article!

Hobbit Hole Breakfast: Our Hobbit Hole Breakfast means only one thing-comfort. Two eggs fried right into the center of grilled Cheddar bun halves. Served with two slices of bacon and crispy hash browns topped with melted shredded Cheddar cheese and bacon. $5.99

This is the one I want to try:

Gandalf's Gobble Melt: Only a Wizard could dream up a sandwich this good. Tender sliced turkey breast and savory stuffing topped with melted Swiss cheese placed on grilled potato bread with a cranberry honey mustard spread. Served with your choice of side and gravy for dipping. $7.49

Ocean Spray still does make their cranberry jelly in the small cans, QFC carries them. Don't know if Fred Meyer does as they are both owned by Kroger. I do note that I can get some things at the QFC, but not at Fred Meyer and vise versa.

I often buy the small cans when I get cranberry jelly, and will often have the entire can with dinner, but not too often though.

Your computer sounds like it should run its own casino -- it already knows how to rig the system in favour of the house. :P

yep and, as I predicted, it rebooted when I unplugged it last night and I lost about $700... sigh. I must remember to take it to Las Vegas with me.
