Tuesday

I spend a lot of time reading tech blogs, listening to tech  podcasts, reading the tweets and Google+ entries of tech journalists cause I like to hear about the latest stuff.  EXCEPT, I don't give one tiny fuck about anything Apple (or anything FaceBook).  Do today will just be a day of annoyances until everyone gets this latest Apple annoucement out of their system.

(And OMG, I just saw a tweet that Dr. Oz is at the Apple event...  he's like an annoying infection you just cannot get rid of.)

It's a chef day. Anita should be here any minute. My money says the phone will ring before I finish this entry. Today she's making:

• Liver & Onions over smashed potatoes


• Spaghetti and little bitty meatballs with garlic toast


• Breaded Pan-fried pork chops with jicama, radish and pepita


• Fried chicken with mac and cheese


• Surloin portabella mushrooms with scalloped potatoes

And there will be swimming of course. At 11.

I'm running low on catfood and toilet paper. I love the Costco toilet paper. Not so much the buying of a million rolls at once but the actual paper itself and the heft on each roll so Costco is in the future. Costco's only dry cat food option is a bascillion pound bag which is not real practical so there will be a Safeway or Fred Meyers trip soon, too.

Last night's baseball game was a really really good one and we won. It's been many moons since we've in a position to maybe play in the playoffs and it's honestly kind of fun. They play Houston again tonight. When games are not thrilling, I keep the picture on but sound off and listen to my book while I watch.  Really good games cut right into my book reading time.

Anita is here and the cheffing has started.

Anita's meals

How often does Anita cook for you? The arrangement sounds excellent to me, although I don't know any details. Does she have a website?

When I retired, we changed from 2 times a month to once a month - the 2nd Tuesday. She makes up a list of stuff she knows I like and I say excellent or tweak it here and there for every time. If/when I find recipes that look delicious, I send them to her and she puts them on the list. If they turn out great, they stay on the list, if they are a fail... then it's lights out.

I pay for her time and skill and groceries. It's usually about $325 a time. Well, worth it. She makes 2 (or sometimes 4) of each thing.

Dr. Oz is herpes.
I have to say, this modern age is impressive for making a grand advertisement, a media event.

You have reminded me of how much I miss Fred Meyer. I used to love wandering around the aisles looking at everything.

I'll bet you never got to see the new Fred Meyers on 85th. They took that tiny one and razed it and built a beauty. If you love Fred Meyer, yudda lost your freakin' mind. It's Fred Meyers on steroids. You need to put it on your list for your next visit.
