Last night I cooked fish for dinner.
When making dining choices I often forget about fish. But when I end up cooking it, I’m always pleasantly surprised. So there you go. My cooking tip of the day: Don’t forget about fish.
Last today I leave you with this:
Slappin’ Da Bass
Have a great day!
Did you watch the President’s speech last night? Did you notice anything unusual?
Pretty cool, right? We met while vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard. Thanks, Mr. President.
If I equipped myself with a GPS tracking device this is the kind of information you’d see: 9:08 PM Bob drove to the grocery store to buy a can of Reddi-wip.
As if that information wasn’t pathetic enough, I paid for this using my debit card. $3.29. I apologized to the cashier for charging such a small amount but she didn’t seem to care. It reminded me of the opening scene in The Big Lebowski.
Last today I leave you with this photo:
I put my nephew’s baby doll in a tree on Sunday. I’m not sure why I did it. It looks really creepy. But it makes me laugh. It took two days before someone noticed! Ha ha.
Have a nice day.
Last night Cara and I went out for dinner. We couldn’t decide between Chinese, diner food, pizza or T.G.I. Friday’s. I couldn’t pull the trigger on the latter. Just then we drove past a brasserie. Boom, dinner problem solved. Nothing like a little informal dining. We walked in the brasserie and it was empty. We walked in a little more and ended up sitting in a fancy restaurant.
My first thought was, crap, how much is this going to cost?! But they had a nice pre-fixe menu and we were off to the races. Cara had a lovely salad and some great fish. I ate mussels and shrimp/asparagus risotto. It was soooo good. For dessert I ordered this:
It’s a floating island. Meringue floating on crème anglaise (vanilla custard). Mmmmmm. I’ve never had a floating island before. It was great.
Have a great weekend.
A couple of weeks ago I was driving behind a DeLorean.
After all these years, it’s still a great-looking car. This particular car had a personalized license plate: WTFISIT, as in “What The F@#K Is It?” First of all, I thought the DMV prevented people from using abbreviations that contained profanity. But whatever, good for him, he beat the system. The problem I have with his plate is IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE! What the F is it? It’s a DeLorean, one of the most infamous cars in automobile history!
In the “Back to the Future” trilogy Emmett “Doc” Brown drove a DeLorean. I just checked the NY DMV site and this plate is available:
Dear WTFISIT, make sense, have some laughs and order this plate now! Have a nice day.
Today is the third straight day of grey skies.
Ugh! I need some sun!
Yesterday was National Waffle Day.
I don’t follow fake holidays, so I had no idea. The funny thing, I ate waffles yesterday. [I was going to say "What are the odds?" but actually the odds are pretty good, ha ha. I enjoy waffles.] Had I known it was National Waffle Day I would have savored my meal a little more.
If you haven’t seen yesterday’s video of my nephew’s putting tips, check it out. I had a fun time editing that. I wish my computer was more powerful. It takes a long time to edit (render) things. Such is life.
Enjoy your day.
I took my nephew to the driving range this past weekend. He’s pretty good. He was helping me improve my long game. However, when he practiced his putting, that’s where he really shined. Please enjoy John’s Putting Tips.
Have a nice day.
I had a pretty great weekend. I enjoyed my first Lime Ricky. It was delicious.
Saturday Cara, Erin (sister-in-law) and I went to a bunch of garage sales. We didn’t buy anything. My dream garage sale finds would be an old-school arcade game and a motorcycle. A few years back I went to a sale with a moped and a Tempest arcade game. However the moped was too 80’s for me and I never cared for Tempest. Ms. Pac Man is more my speed. Anyway, one of the last sales we went to had 2 motorcycles, 2 mopeds and a serious r/c helicopter! It was exciting! But alas, the motorcycles/mopeds were in poor condition and too small for me. The r/c helicopter was $1500!
The last time I was in an inflatable boat was back in 2006. I ruined that boat when I pushed off a dock and snagged a nail. That was then, this is now. I bought a new Seahawk (the Seahawk 2) and took her out this weekend, watch:
The new Seahawk 2 only costs $46 on Amazon.com. As far as I’m concerned, it already paid for itself.
That’s all I know. Have a great day.
What a bad week for blogging. I’d apologize but things haven’t been the same since I lost my toenail. You see, for the last ten years, I’ve typed this website using my big toes. Ha ha, boooo. My nail is recovering nicely but it isn’t pretty. Yesterday I noticed the constant pain wasn’t there. Sweet beans!
My summer book club is in full swing. Last year I read Slash. This year I’m reading Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential.
I’m about 10 years late to the party but what can you do? Slash’s book and Anthony’s are pretty similar. They both did a lot of drugs and they both produced quality products. I haven’t finished Kitchen Confidential but it’s damn good.
That’s all I know. Have a great weekend.
Big Toe in Crisis: Day Three
Over the weekend I went for a bike ride. It was a perfect summer morning. I was on an old bike. Old bikes have a lot of character. They also have a lot of problems. The problem on this bike? Brakes that may or may not work. I was making a turn and used the brakes to slow down. However, the brakes failed causing me to turn my front wheel very quickly. Now would be a good time to tell you I was wearing sandals. I quickly turned the wheel and hit my big toe. Just like that, my nail was hanging by a thread. I was stunned. I got off my bike and thought I was going to vomit/faint. I had to take several deep breaths. I was dizzy. I never lost a nail before.
Warning: The photo I’m about to show you may be the grossest thing you’ve ever seen on BobBorden.com.
I did a little research on the internet and it seems like it will grow back. But it takes about 6 months. It doesn’t hurt. It’s just a little annoying. Always something.
Have a nice day.
Don’t believe in Friday the 13th? How’s this for bad luck, I just got some Silly Bandz for my niece. I think I got screwed!
Have a great weekend.
