I was looking through some old photos yesterday and came across this gem from 2001:
I'm enjoying a hot summer day with my nephews Jacob and Lucas.  Man, those were some good times.  Forgive me if I posted this before.  Memories.  

That's all I know.  Have a great weekend.

You can't make a great meal every night.
That explains this bag of enchilada sauce.  Old el Paso screwed me good!  Ha ha.  Food should not come in a bag.

I need to get my new glasses adjusted.  Maybe I should just get eye surgery and throw my glasses in the sewer.

Here's my most recent Google search:  Blending hot liquids.
I made tomato soup last night.  Towards the end of the recipe you have to blend everything.  I filled blendy, my nickname for our blender, halfway, hit the switch and the damn thing "exploded" on my face!  Molten tomato soup covered my glasses, the appliances, the walls, it was everywhere!  After I did my Google search I discovered it's not good to blend hot liquids with the lid on tight.  Turns out the liquid expands and has nowhere to go...nowhere but on my face.

I'm a little embarrassed.  Because at my age, you'd think this situation would have come up before.  I'm also a little pissed.  Shouldn't the recipe have given me a little head's up?!  "Hot liquids in blender are BAD!"  That's all I would have needed.

On the bright side, my tomato soup was delicious!  For a complete meal I also made some grilled cheese sandwiches.  Thankfully the sandwiches didn't hurt me, ha ha!

It's in the 50's.  Crazy weather.  Yesterday I talked about short ribs.  Here's a picture of the leftovers:
Mmmm!  Have a nice day.

Bam!  The weekend is over.  On Saturday we got about 4 inches of snow.  Nothing major.  It was a nice reminder that this is winter.  My snowblower is still going strong!  It started up on the 3rd or 4th try, ha ha.  I played Words with Friends all day!  I didn't win one game, ha ha.

We were kinda snowed in, so we just watched movies and cooked.  We watched Moonstruck and cooked short ribs.  That's such a great movie!  The short ribs were very tasty.  Saturday night we watched "Lemmy."
It's a documentary of Motorhead frontman, Lemmy.  It was very entertaining.

Sunday I chilled out, shoveled a little more snow and then watched the games.  I couldn't believe Baltimore lost.  Ugh.  So many opportunities.  Then we watched the Giants game with family/friends.  Whew!  I'm glad they won.  Always nice to watch the Super Bowl when you care about the team(s).

That's all I know.  Have a good day.
