We are those strange folks that put anchovies on pizza.  We had an open tin of those so had to buy a frozen pizza this week to use them up on as they wouldn't keep that long open in the fridge.

Fresh strawberries where cheap this week, as was zuchinni and daughter gave me a container of watermelon to bring home on Sunday as her hubs doesn't like watermelon, !!!

Gastric issues have eased up so it's a go for eating again.

Anything that will go bad before we get home is going to Daughter's house.

What got put into the freezer last week....

*  1 clearance skirt steak(2 lbs.)

What got taken out of the freezer and used...

*  Pizza

*  a Bag of Shrimp

This Week on the Dining Table

The "You Know You're in the South" Edition--

You know you are in a restaurant in the South when hot sauce and peppers in vinegar sauce are on your table when you sit down.  My daughter worked at a Cracker Barrel in PA for a bit and there, you had to ask for these items.  I have yet to go in a Cracker Barrel down here so I wonder if it's being up North or if it's just a CB policy.

Rabbit Hole

 I've gone down a rabbit hole on Youtube.  This guy, guitaro5000, stands around NYC and invites people to sing while he plays guitar accompaniment. 

Here's one of my favorites........

I'll Be AFK For Awhile

I feel blogging is pointless at the moment so don't expect to come here and read any scintillating content, if anyone other than a very few still read this crap.

I will keep this blog open so certain people can get to other blogs through my blog roll(yes, I'm looking at you Sissie!).

Sluggy who doesn't think it will ever stop raining(I'd rather have snow)
