Okay, off to the Wally's for grub. You lot should be grateful that Wat is cooking this week. We're taking yet another whack at s'ghetti sauce and making a mostly-perfected-recipe of tuna casserole. There will be eatin' . . . .

Sounds good, Wat! I made a pork tenderloin on the grill yesterday. It will feed us through tomorrow.

Today, I felt like making food. I made energy balls for my trainer, cherry cheesecakes from cherries I pitted over the weekend, and biscuits using some slightly sour half n half.

Can you translate this one for us, please, G?

“Long May Your Chimney Smoke”

It can have other modern translations but essentially ……..May you always be warm and fed.

Doubtless the minds on here will see innuendos in it

Busy girl...I hope the recipients are grateful!

He really is the perfect man...err dog

Of course...he ....would be. I mean ...it would be

 

[Rj_1954]

Good morning from me!

You can call me Richard if you like otherwise Rj will do.

 

[Greylag]

Nice! I'm 40 so I'm thinking I might be in the wrong forum

No ageism in here but you might not get some of the older stuff being a mere puppy

I love a good energy ball!

sorry, waiting for @Wonderer67 to stop laughing because we said "balls"

This recipe is my favorite so far. It also avoids oats which helps since we have a few gluten free folks in the group. Not all oats are GF, so this just takes the guess work out for everyone. This recipe makes the smoothest batter that is easiest to mix - even with using a runny peanut butter. I used the double boiler tip and it worked like a charm. Forgot to let it cool, so the mini chips melted. Used a mix of protein powder and cocoa powder to roll them in to finish. Took them to a family dinner and there were no leftovers. Kids and adults scarfed them up!

RJ thank you. I did not wish to.be so bold

 

[Rj_1954]

RJ thank you. I did not wish to.be so bold

It's OK.

Sweet, merciful heavens! Is that the time??
I may need to start setting an alarm to tell me when to go to bed. Sheesh!
Night all - sweet dreams!!

I can see why….beautiful

Meanwhile I have insomnia

I don’t I am simply on GMT……hope you get to sleep.

 

[Greylag]

I have a busy day….6 hours driving to visit my Mum on her 89th birthday. Have a good day/sleep everyone it’ll be tomorrow before I catch up again.

IMO, development is the biggest enemy to my area.

I know the rule is no politics, but in my opinion, there is no “ housing crisis.” What there really is, it’s just people who don’t wanna live where they are and want to move to rural areas.

Stay outta my rural area you damn kids!

It may be less expensive for them in rural areas. I think a bigger threat is developers coming in, clearing the land, and putting little shit-box apartments up.

 

[Lilianna23]

I missed this earlier. That's a damned shame. I, too, have had some of these same "issues" with the knuckleheads I have worked with in the past. In fact, I was reading back through some things yesterday where a co-worker had told some lies which made everything that much harder to deal with. And your ol' buddy Wat usually got to go around and clean up the shit left behind.


Some people are alive simply because it's illegal to kill them

I know exactly what you mean, Wat!

Evening everyone

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah.... I dont really care what they think...just keep it to yourself. Don't set me up with the new person. Because everything they said was false. I try to stay above it/take the high road but damn that hit me wrong.

It hurts, I know. Do you have anyone you can vent to in person? Does your boss help?

 

[Lilianna23]

Thanks hug and a squeeze back. Yeah they have been riding my coattails for a long time. My boss told me I was her right hand today. She is a great manager. She depends on me.... the new lady will be great just has to get up to speed and stay away from lazy dumb asses...I could tell lots of stories....

It's great you have a good manager!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good almost afternoon! Mondays move fast in the cafe and at my work. Hard to catch up... but here's where I'm at today...



I know that look... *scampers away before The Look catches me*

Told someone else today, "Mondays should whimper!"
Now if we all work together...

Yes!!

Anytime someone says "take a whack at" my brain immediately goes to here:

Is that the biker version of:

Agree - heaven!!

There's been discussion since I read this...lots of good feedback. But more are needed today b/c that sitch sucks majorly!!!

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! This, right here!

I think humans as a general rule find #1 challenging.
Knowing that and wanting to make change is the key.
We could all use more reminders and support with our work on #1.
#1: Staying present in the moment

I agree - aren't we so lucky to have them in the café?

HDH - I your daily zen images. Thank you for each one.

I've been accused of being a Drama Queen...
(wait for it)
For not feeding into the family drama machine

Drunk - Irish
Potato - Potahto


Yep - this is a good list. Another excellent addition.
There's even theme music:

the smell of cut grass... but it doesn't love me back (achoo!)


Such good advice!

Wouldn't we all?

I'd buy it - let me know when it comes out!

More great advice!!


Indeed - not all. But sometimes the 10% Rule feels so 90%

Liars gonna lie - I've experienced this, too.
Please everyone, stay out of jail/prison. I'd prefer visiting you in the café to the alternative!

See? Right here - validation!!!

Would that I could, too! Now if only those lottery tickets would cooperate.

I feel the same. Also, supervising feels too much like Babysitting (Grown Ass) Adults - at least where I work. I do not have the patience for that flavor of Bull Cookie!
Aside: I've also been accused of having High Standards (like that's a bad thing?!?)

I'm sure to be behind again... but that's on brand for a Monday.

I love these recaps, L2WU!

Hi all. Mid 50s MWM here. Hope to make a friend or seven!

Well, then you've come to the right place! We're friendly here!
