Wrapping up the kids bathroom renovation for the boss (while they're on vacation in Ireland). I still have a third shelf to place between the top and bottom shelves, under where the vessel style sink will live. But I need to wait for the plumber to finish plumbing the sink, so I know where to cut around the drain P trap. It will most likely not go from wall to wall like the top and bottom shelves, but will most likely get cut shorter and be mitered back up to the top shelf. Kind of a reverse waterfall. These shelves are milled from rough Redwood. Not the wood I'd choose for a child's bathroom. It's just so soft, that anything will leave a dent. But that's what the boss wanted. Got the wallpaper installed, then the medicine cabinet. As well as the mirror and two floating shelves above the toilet, (toilet not yet installed). And installed the new light fixture, TP holder and shower curtain rod. Re-purposed an old door for the pocket door. All that's left is the middle shelf and putting on the shower curtain, which I've left off to give the plumber more room to do the shower trim out. Plumber arrives Saturday. Boss' wife and kids arrive Sunday. Boss arrives a week later.

R.I.P. George Winston. But I'm not done with Pat Robertson yet. May El Diablo's giant barbed penis plunder your anal cavity for eternity. Let's not pretend that it's virginal though. No doubt you've experienced more than one parishioner's cock inside it. Possibly a fist or two as well. I'm very familiar at decoding those grimaces.

The jokes on him, because I'm 99% sure that he didn't end up where he thought he would. Right this way Pat, we've been expecting you.

Doing the math... If 7" had a street value of $20 in 1981, adjusting for inflation and the extra inches... It looks like I could supplement my income by about $140 an hour.

I don't think Stretch purchases his at Target. NTTAWWT.

My favorite pasta recipe.

Pre-dick-table No argument here.

How did you know my best pickup line?

I just felt the TICE shutter from inadequacy!

That hit my funny bone Grahame! I like Milk Snakes and Corn Snakes. Have had many in the past. Had a very chill Rosey Boa too.

Can we not talk about Brent's buns? Please!

I don't make pinto beans too often, and I always forget how bad they trigger my acid reflux. Had a rough night. Next meal I'll take a few antacid pills about two hours prior. That usually helps a lot.

No. I bought them for myself. Very shellfish of me.

I like to start my beans on high, get them to a boil, then crank them down to medium low and cover. If you're not careful you can burn the beans on the bottom. However, even if you do all is not lost. Adding about a tablespoon of peanut butter to the pot and mixing it thoroughly will take away the burnt taste. I learned this at my parents Mexican food restaurant many decades ago. The cornbread is done, and is lonely. It'll be about 3 more hours until it gets to unite with the beans. Longer if you don't soak your beans for several hours first.

Just started a large pot of Pinto beans, and just mixed up a large pan of corn bread. It's my favorite meal, and I'm making enough to eat off of all week, or freeze some. The hamhock is buried, but it's there. My Mother's recipe uses chili powder, but I prefer it without. Salt, pepper and minced garlic are my preferred seasonings.

That's better. I'm now guessing South American Walnut or Suar.

It could a South American hardwood of some type. It's really hard to tell. Nice curly figure though.

Most of the mashed potatoes will become tomorrow's potato pancakes.

Getting there.

KOA?

Cut and started an onion for tonight's dinner of, steak, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, sautéed mushrooms and caramelized onion. I like to cook the onion really low and slow. I use a mixture of EVOO and butter. It'll take 1.45 - 2 hrs. But it's always worth the effort.

Sorry for your loss Todd.

R.I.P. Tina You gave us a hell of a catalog of fantastic music.

Hope you have a great day. Go for a bike ride. Go to a museum. Go see a concert. But for God's sake stay away from biscuits!!!
