The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

We were about 10° warmer than you last night. But... we have no precipitation. It was the first night with sustained temps below freezing.

Luckily, my fuchsias got taken in yesterday! They will winter in the solarium. What remains to be seen is if I can keep them alive over the winter. That was a husband job.

The construction guys noticed one of the trees between my house and my neighbor to the north is cleaved at a fork.😱😱 It's a really tall cedar tree >30 ft. Thankfully, the top is leaning against one of its neighbors. But, I'm afraid another windstorm will send it onto my or my neighbor's house. He looked at it and called a friend of his who is a tree surgeon. IDK if the whole tree needs to come down or not. 🌳 👨🏻‍⚕️

Work is crazy right now. Big project popping next week and I have a planned long weekend away.

Typical work BS.

I’ve been having leg and foot pain the last few mos. My primary thought my varicose veins were acting up again, so went to vascular guy. He is a great doc and did my varicose veins a few years ago.

He doesn’t think this is a vascular issue. But an ultrasound will rule it out. That means maybe I’m just getting old or maybe it’s a muscular/skeletal issue. Possibly a nerve issue.

Back to work. Really busy right now.
Keep us posted...
 
Good morning everyone. Another night with little sleep. I have a video appointment with an insomnia group through the VA today so we’ll see how that goes. Going to get my first of what will probably be many cups of coffee. I hope everyone is having a great day.
I’m sorry you having insomnia. My son has sleep disorder with his autism and ADHD. I hope the VA can help you!
 
Isn't there a food/recipes thread? If not, we should start one!
There is…the gal that runs it (@Photog1rl ) had set up a great recipe card type thing and you’d submit it and she’d doctor it up and post it. I got her over here one time but she didn’t stick around (I think it’s over in the Playground area). I’ll look and link and we can either piggyback off her thread or we can always start our own🤔…that might be best.

Off to the friendly skies. Got all my snivel gear packed for the winter clippers racing across the country and they send me to Florida🙄. Typical. Gotta pack some cabana wear now…I need one of those steamer trunks they used to drag around on the cruise ships!

Everyone have a great…HEY! It’s HumpDay! I encourage everyone to have a great day…on me😁

My second favorite winter place…Jackson Hole. If you’ve never done JH during Christmas…it’s special! Jackson Hole MZ…what the heck..the rest of the month!

We had a visit and invitation to add recipes to the Chaos in the Kitchen Thread a while back, I believe. The below is post 1 in that thread...
Chaos in the Kitchen - a compendium of recipes, cooking, food and drink

There is a lot of food and recipe talk sprinkled through Lit threads and so much knowledge about cooking and eating - a pleasure often commensurate to sex.
I have often struggled to find a recipe or food notes made in this or that thread a week or a month later - this is our attempt to remedy that particular problem.

This will be an indexed thread - like a cookbook - so recipes will be easy to find. Each will be made into a beautiful printable recipe card and posted here. Maybe in a year or so, we will have enough recipes to publish a Lit Chaos Cookbook using an online printing/ publishing service?

Sound fun? We hope so! Conversations and questions about food are welcome here too. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/pxBis2ER1zqvsY78zmCJDFMTBBJjOtvfpSD7b6jWuB-cPurYJs1badB7ZGcY-a_LbGwEOYN8lGq7tAoNlj7MyoWQLEbLhAIldW1CnLllnGwrtKp7kRv5oxKoQ45vzc_MzMySwchx-ECSVv8my6QGy8GL2y-1LGFWKb_MXfsuAeyzYJ6WunnlRiwqEGFgwA
If you have a recipe to share (or have come across one in the threads here), contact @Photog1rl or @cascadiabound with your recipe details or link us to where it has already been posted. Please plan to share a photo to go along with the recipe.

To start off the thread right - and because breakfast IS the most important meal of the day - we offer this French Toast Bake Casserole as an example of what we are planning. Happy cooking, baking, broiling, roasting, sauteing, stir-frying, boiling, mixing, and especially EATING and DRINKING!!

If you’d like to submit your recipe, PLEASE PM @Photog1rl so a recipe card can be made.
Thanks!
