Super bowl edition (watching notes, cooking, garden, f&f)
Weekend sads include: Setting big goals for Saturday and getting no where near them. The fruit trees are not yet planted.
I was a little miffed that a planning meeting on Saturday night had a wrong eastern time zone time; but it meant i was sitting at the computer when Dad called. I think we had a good chat: he'd been blue but cheered up talking.
Chipping the rim of a tiny little china plate in a set of four that we got to serve whipped cream to Luigi. Also, i tried making a egg salad with some of my pickled green tomatoes but, yoiks, i used too much vinegar.
I've tried making a sauce out of a good bunch of them, hoping a can of tomato paste will cut the overwhelming tart. I think i then erred on the mustard, letting the powder sit in water for ten minutes before adding it to the acid. I hope it mellows well.
I also tried rehydrating my tough as leather figs with some spices and a bit of orange peel. Fig marmalade? I'll see.
Despite saying no more plants, i did get some spiderwort -- which are an edible flower as well as leaves and roots -- planted in my edible spring veg and flower section. I'll have day lilies there, and i wonder about a blue and orange flower stirfry. I ended up buying Solomon's seal and ostrich fern from a bargain Etsy seller today, imagining the ferns and the asparagus-like Solomon's seal in the same part of the plot, lovely shade friendly plants.
Had a nice visit with my sister and the young woman who helped care for Mom. She really
Game day notes include:
Go Eagles! (Where i won't loose any sleep over the game.)
Probably not a legal way to quote a tweet, but i liked the Bud Light ad. We didn't watch many -- we paused to fix dinner and feed the pets, so we could skip many of the ads and the half time show.

"Opus Number One" was originally produced by Tim Carleton and Darrick Deel in I989, serving as a core part of Cisco's Music on Hold set; Bud Light using it in its ad for #SuperBowlLVII validates the fact that the New Age genre is back, expect more of it.

Well, with Anheuser-Busch letting go of exclusive (red-white-and-blue) alcohol advertising during the super bowl, we get David Grohl's "Thank You Canada" ad mentioning Rush and Crown Royal.
Oh, OK, the premature electrification ad is not bad. And i kinda liked the Workday Rock star ad.
And, Mahones is a great quarterback, so yay for him. (Sads for the Eagles and poor Philly.)
