Gettin' on with life

I decided the best way to get on with healing was lots of cleaning and cooking. I even did my version of mopping (fold a square of paper towel in quarters, wet it, drop it on floor, rub a small area clean with shoe). For the cooking I made a big old pot of chili con carne (with mostly canned ingredients) except instead of using my usual canned kidney beans I used Bob's Red Mill 13 bean mix... soaking them overnight and then cooking for 3 hours in the crock pot before adding all the other ingredients. A very rich chili indeed.

We actually had a little hail Sunday. And speaking of Sunday, I think the damned Dale Junior curse is actually rubbing off on Jeff Gordon (and everyone else on that team). Get Junior the hell out of there. He is bringing the whole operation to a standstill. I know... but I am always going to root for 24 first.  Maybe Junior will reach 200 straight losses.

That's about it. The Amazing Race was unremarkable, and the only thing about The Celebrity Apprentice that stood out was Penn Gillette turning into a hurt little girl and not talking to anyone. I never would have envisioned him as that much of a thin-skinned little wuss. It says something to be bullied by Clay Aiken.

Today's funny purchase was Fig Newmans by Newman's Own. Unfortunately the organic figs seem to be devoid of flavor, as all I really taste is the breading / cake outside. Oh well, you live and learn.

amazing race, cooking, reality tv, nascar
