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

Update: Had a 3rd date today. She wanted to go hiking (ugh). It turned out great! She actually got my lazy ass to hike 5 miles by stopping every now and then for some rejuvenating kisses. After, we went back to my place for coffee and more kissing. (Too soon to get horizontal yet.). Did I mention she’s really good at kissing?

4th date scheduled for Saturday night!
Congratulations, I’m happy for you.

This is excellent, NOG! 🥰🥰 Kissing is just the best! And she got you hiking! How cool! 😘😘
 
Yeah because he wouldn't want anybody to feel bad. Why do they get a raise and I don't. Then they'll be sad and then that's just against the rules.


Hoping you're sleeping while I'm typing.


Last job I had (for real), I was there almost 7 years. When I was assigned Out West the first time, I was working with this guy from Louisiana. I found out he was getting another $400/month in expense allowance that I wasn't, so I raised Hell with the PM (nicely, I think) and got the increase in my allowance, too. No back pay. The next updated employee manual that came through first of the following year had a new tidbit that employees were forbidden to discuss their compensation with another co-worker. So I referred to it as the Wat rule. Still, I never knew what the other supervisors were making, and I'd like to think that they didn't know what I was making.


Raises are between you and management.
 
When I make lasagna and I do my sauce I use half hamburger and half Italian sausage. It's so good. I also use a blend of cheeses I like to pull and Browning of mozzarella but it's essentially flavorless so I had a sharp something sometimes I add Asiago or monterey jack or sometimes I've even used cheddar if that's all I have just a little bit. I've had people that say they don't like lasagna ask me to make it for them


For this sauce, I took Wonderer's recipe and then went to work on it. I used to do Italian Sausage and ground chuck half and half, but I switched to sausage only a few batches ago. It could go either way.


I put this in the fridge overnight but it's back on the heating element to come to a bubble before it goes back to simmer for a couple of more hours. I buy the four cheese "Italian" blend because it's a bit spiffier than plain mozzarella. I use mozzarella for casseroles.
 
I didn't even know about the reaction score until someone pointed it out to me. I don't really care about measurements like this.


Says the sweetheart with twice the reaction points as posts. I do like that we use it for each other. It says "I read your post and didn't just slide on by," but it isn't important as far as one's "meaning" or "significance" around here, or anywhere else, for that matter.
 
I made spaghetti sauce tonight, too! We were going to have spaghetti but I found I didn't have any in my overstuffed pantry. 😤 It's on the list now!

I ended up using rigatoni. I made bread, too! View attachment 2356439View attachment 2356440


Oooo, look at the spiffy granite top and s/s gas stove!!! Somebody has the pimped-out version of a kitchen. I don't even own a decent kitchen knife. Speaking of (and I bet you have good knives), what do you have for a knife? I should get one - a good one. I do have a set of sharpening stones, if I'd ever sit down and learn to use them.


I always have 2-3 boxes of noodles on the shelf. And cheeses in the drawer.


This sauce turns out like I think and I'm posting the recipe.
 
Oh my giddy aunt. Today was worse than yesterday if you can believe. Didn't have a chance to get caught up today at all.

Hope everyone had a lovely day, enough coffee/tea/etc., and behaved as expected. :LOL:

I had acupuncture after work and found some inner zen. 🧘‍♀️

Bedtime now. Hoping for a restful night because tomorrow will likely be just as hectic. But at least TGIF!!

Sweet dreams, all!




Best wishes, ma'am!!!
