A friend of mine got a Maine Coon kitten just before Christmas. He’s all black and in the three months she’d has him he’s grown considerably. I’m not entirely sure she realises just how big they can get. Watching him eat is interesting, not so much for quantity, which is roughly the same as her other two, but just how…

I’m not so sure how well this one would work. During the big ice storm I lost power and decided to boil some water on my grill, it took so long to get up to a boiling temperature it was ridiculous. I had a lid on my pot of water and the grill closed and it still took well over 30 minutes. Sure it was cold outside but…

Run! Run soy far away that they’ll never catch you!

I’m on the run from the law!

I always just snap off as much ginger as I need and buy that, leaving the rest.  Nobody has ever stopped me.

I approve of all of this, especially Nacho!

Bobby talks about Nacho all the time.  And Nacho has an Insta.  I am ashamed to know this.

Two things. First, the Bush’s Beans Visitor’s Center in Tennessee is surprisingly awesome. We stopped there on our way to Myrtle in the Mountains a couple of years ago and had a great time. There’s even a restaurant there that has some interesting bean-based or bean-augmented foods - I had a burger that had beans…

I think there’s a law against this many puns in one blog entry.

Ham...bur...ger...buns?!?!!!! I accept that you’re not going to find pain de menage at the grocery store, but a BURGER BUN? Even a “best-quality” one is going to be one step up from Wonder Bread for this use; shopping by that metric you’re likely to end up with a brioche bun if anything which would be catastrophic.

Honestly, any packaged frozen stuff that goes in the oven ends up quite good. Hot Pockets, frozen fries, fish sticks. It really shines with any vegetables you’d want to roast, and things like fresh fish and chicken rock too. The world is your air fryer.

Something tells me this is an “If I can’t enjoy myself, NOBODY gets to enjoy themselves” kind of dad.

“Still in jail, huh, honey? Too bad. Did I mention the room service at the resort? I did? Well, we get room service. And we went on all your favorite rides, twice, because you couldn’t be with us and it made us feel close to you. In a way where you weren’t actually there.”

If it was actually Disney Springs then that makes sense how he inadvertently went in through an exit, bc as someone who goes at least once a year, and of just being there a few months ago, I couldn’t fathom how anyone could go in to a park through an exit. Totally possible at Disney Springs although it’s harder to…

On the plus side, the rest of the family went on to enjoy a four-day overbearing-Dad-less vacation of a lifetime!

I’ll never understand how Cheetos somehow became associated with gaming. Cheetos are one of the worst gaming snacks. The last thing you want to do is get your fingers covered in radioactive orange 45 Cheeto dust and then grab a video game control.

It takes VERY little for Disney to ban someone for life, too.  There’s no downside. There are people waiting in line to replace this guy’s $15k with their own.

When the man, Kelly Sills, was confronted by security at a Disney restaurant about missing the safety procedures required to enter the park

“Covid is a very serious thing,” Sills said to the Post, “but so is my vacation with my family.”

It would have been better had Kathy been off this mortal coil before the show started--watching her slooooowly head towards the light I’m sure was for drama (and the actress got one last paycheck) but it also makes the viewers feel like they aren’t exactly murderers but kinda...passively complicit? “Seriously bummed,…
