Did you have fun?

 

[Lilianna23]

You girls getting together now then……guess I will just back off. I know when I am beat….better live to fight another day although something tells me it might be a kinda nice way to go

Well, we  MIGHT make it fun. Of course, it could always go the other way, G! Smart man not to chance it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Not at all. It was beautiful. The full moon rising over the ocean. One of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen.

It was pretty gorgeous! Thank you!

 

[Lilianna23]

I got bitched out here for being with her

Who would do such a thing? Just ignore them!

 

[Lilianna23]

That is EXACTLY what I was going to write yesterday. Jeez… great minds???

It's like we're sharing a brain!!!

 

[Micktg007]

Good morning/ evening all hope everyone had a nice weekend

 

[Lilianna23]

Oh Heavens no. that thought never crossed my mind. LMAO!

I was just a baby girl! I think I was only 25 or so at the time!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yawn, G'morning everyone

How are you feeling, RJ?

 

[Lilianna23]

She's hate motorcycling. Too load, too "scary," and I couldn't hear her talk for the wind and the engine noise. Loud pipes, you see. Wat is all about saving lives.


Anyway, home. I have to see about trying to winch this-here tractor onto the trailer since the starter seems to have taken a fritz.

Did you have a good breakfast with Mom, Wat?

I used to have a friend who had a Ducati. He would take me riding in the hills and canyons of So Cal. I loved it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Was delish. Home version of a dish @ my fav Vietnamese restaurant

My haunt since I was a kid

Your dawn or his?
I'm picturing two different scenes, side-by-side. Comedy of errors

that bread! Would love the recipe. Big fan of easy in the kitchen.

Double standards?
People tend to assume I'm their mom (siblings) or grandma (niblings).
Better than assuming I'm with them, with them. Ugh

Here's the EASY recipe for my bread!

2 cups white flour
2 cups wheat flour
1 cup seed/nut mixture
2 tsp salt
1 tsp yeast
2.5 cups water

Mix all together in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap for 12 - 18 hours. I've actually left mine for 24 hours.

To Bake:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place covered pot in oven while it's preheating. I use a cast iron Dutch oven. Sprinkle a small amount of flour around the top and edge of the bread dough. Use a plastic spatula to form a ball of dough in the bowl. Turn the dough out onto parchment paper that has a bit of flour or cornmeal scattered over it. When oven is preheated, carefully take the pot out of the oven, uncover, and place the parchment paper with the dough inside the pot. Cover and return to oven for 20 minutes.

Then remove the lid from the pot and reduce the oven's temperature to 375 degrees. Continue to bake the bread for another 20 minutes. When done, carefully remove the hot pot from the oven, take hold of the parchment paper and lift the loaf from the pot. Place on a wire rack to cool. It should sound hollow when thumped on the bottom of the loaf. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before digging in!

If you don't have a Dutch oven, any covered pot will work. I've even made this in a bread pan. I inverted another over the top then clamped them together with large binder clamps.

My seed/nut mixture:
You can add whatever you like to this! I get mine from the bulk bins at the local store. I make up a mixture and keep it in a Zip-Lock freezer bag. It makes it easy to just scoop out what I need. I do keep the bags of seeds and nuts in the freezer to keep them fresh.

While I was out and about earlier, I saw a vanity license plate:

JRSY BCH

It probably means Jersey Beach.



I read it as Jersey bitch . . . .

That's exactly how I read it!

 

[Lilianna23]

Just finished up a lovely, late brunch.
Forgot all about my coffee.
Choice is now: Reheat or Ice
(ETA: the coffee - reheat or ice the coffee)

I've got leftovers... order up anyone?

This looks so yummy, L2WU!

Ooh thanks Lili, I will give this a go as I love bread. Will post some pics of when I take it out of the oven, when I do!

 

[Lilianna23]

Ummm prime rib, salt encrusted baked potatoes, and corn on the cob tonight... I'm a heathen...lol

My kind of heathen!

I made meatloaf Saturday night and pizza tonight! Pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, and onion. Homemade marinara sauce, my easy overnight crust.

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah for sure. I always tip better for the wash.... I am thinking about booking a Japanese or Korean scalp treatment. They focus on scalp health......

I would LOVE to find a place near me that did a Japanese scalp treatment!

 

[Lilianna23]

Is that sorta like a happy beginning?

I’m just askin… I’m bald, I know nothing of these salon questions.

Ask your wife, W!

 

[Lilianna23]

My man, you have no idea!
Highly recommend!!
Scalp massage be like

IKR??? I love to have my hair played with and my scalp massaged. I turn into a docile little kitten!

 

[Lilianna23]

Looks orgasmic!

Unfortunately not for me today. Hit my head on a tree branch weed whacking and beat up my head… pretty good gash.

What are we going to do with you, W??? Do you need a Neuro assessment??

 

[Lilianna23]

@Wat_Tyler
Pray for me. I'm going to rip out the fucking stitches if I don't get relief soon.
Doc says only 3 or 4 more days
She says their cat-gut and will disappear soon. I hope can do it that long...

PLEASE don't do that RJ! If it's itching, try some benadryl cream. A cool cloth will help also. You can try ice on for 20 minutes off for 20 minutes, too.

 

[Lilianna23]

Eucerin cream helps a lot but doesn't last, ice packs are too cold now, Benadryl interferes with the LYBALVY I take for bi-polar

Can you use the benadryl cream?

I'm stealing these two, Wat!

 

[Lilianna23]

Off to read. The truck is packed/loaded. Gas is got. I have to load my personals in the morning, and TDK. Won't she be excited???





https://i.pinimg.com/564x/62/f1/a4/62f1a4d7fe8b3a8f1bbdb340d8885bc9.jpg

I think she will like a ride with her cat daddy!

 

[Lilianna23]

Should I wear a hat? I am 5 ahem 7. 178cm and slimish...ok well a tad not heavy but you know.
Tribly? not a sombrero to the office of course. My face doesn't suit a baseball cap with the price on thank goodness...
Thoughts and kind feedback please.

At 178 cm, you're 5' 10", English guy! Are you still in Haiti? You should probably wear a hat. If you don't like a baseball cap, try an Indiana Jones type hat. It will keep the sun off your face and your neck.

 

[Lilianna23]

I think I'm going to try an old practice that I haven't done since my Shotokan Karate days; Fourty years ago.
I'm going to force myself into "Transcendental Meditation" for healing... it scares Mrs Rj because it makes me appear to be in a coma for about an hour, or two...

Let us know how it works for you!

 

[Lilianna23]

So many British sexual innuendos...f

Do tell!
