joy of cooking for those who barely can

Online food recipes can be painful. A layer dip recipe can have many screens of a monumental story before hitting the ingredient list.

Then, once you read it and see the ingredients, you can tell it’s weak and the author never made it. It’s just something to get reader ratings.

Then again, some people like background and a feeling to go with it, so ok.

I do better with church and other civic cookbooks bought at antique stores. Recipes lean towards simple and most likely have been peer reviewed.

hostile architecture and design

I think this has plausible deniability as a social-distance separator, but I suspect it might be hostile design aimed at homeless. Usually hostile-design benches have higher hoops, so I don’t know. It drew my eye as a bit odd. Maybe it’s dual-purpose.

me and target

Me. 👍 🎯

cheap and sweet like us

Brian and I enjoying the wine special at Olive Garden. 🍷

Cheap, sweet, fruity, tastes like pop. There’s a lot to like.

Confetti! Sweet Pink. It’s Italian!

political databases

I sent Melania Trump an electronic birthday card back in April. Maybe I can send her a get-well-soon card eventually.

Part of the reason for doing it was to poison the databases on me. My mailbox has gone wild. My email went wild for a while, but filters are pretty good these days.

political texting

Political texting has gotten worse than Rachel at card services and the new car “warrantee” calls.

You send a stop order and it resurfaces a few days later under another number as another goof signs on. Some won’t even take a stop order.

It’s stupid shit.
