Daily Notes
Today is the first day in two weeks where I can have more than just potatoes! The original idea was to just add some tabasco sauce, mustard, and other condiments to my potatoes, but I see that Penn Jillette finished his two week “Potato Fast” with some corn… So, I said, “self”, if it’s good enough for Penn Jillette, it’s good enough for me! So, early this morning, right after midnight, I had an ear of corn made fresh from the Instant Pot. Delish, but I don’t think I would rave about it as much as Penn did. I found the “Bubly Cherry Sparkling Soda” much more refreshing!
This afternoon I dropped the wife and kids off at the Filberg Festival. There was absolutely no parking, so I circled to the end of the street and went shopping. There were two bandstands and lots of music, and lots of expensive arts and crafts too.
There was an old 1970s orange Volkswagen Beetle out front of the festival entrance (see photo to the right). It was a bit too expensive for my liking at $26,000 but as I told the kids, you could fix it yourself and there would be no electronics to mess with. The issue would be in getting parts for a vehicle that old.
I mentioned shopping. Well, I went to Thrifty’s foods to pick up some tofu and other sorted vegetables for a soup/stew that I plan on making tonight. I also stopped off at Dollarama to pick up some measuring spoons and cheesecloth. I had time to take these home, and when my wife called me that they were done, I ventured back and picked them up.
While at Thrifty’s I couldn’t find the rice cakes, so I went to the customer service desk to ask. Since I was there, I picked up a “Cash Wild” lottery ticket, thinking that this might be “Inspired Action”? Well, I was wrong! Another losing ticket (see photo to the left)!
For today I had a HUGE salad for lunch (see photo to the right), and that pretty well sustained me for most of the day. I did have a couple more sparkling sodas, and late this evening I made some soup in the Instant Pot. There is a “mango” flavor of Bubly sparkling water that is quite good.
My daughter and I are thinking of creating a house out of tortilla chips. We could use flour and water to stick them all together. The fun part comes next when we take this huge house down to the chicken coup and watch the chickens destroy it! Fun, fun, fun! The chickens would sure love this as tortilla chips seem to be one of their favorite foods.
