The trailer carries the same comic but pensive tone as the shorts. I hope this is different than the usual ROAD TRIP! Hijinks.

If you have no cans, soak the beans over night and then boil them for dinner. You don’t have the can’s spices, but those include salt. Instead, pour on some of the fixings mentioned above.

(Sings): I’m a bun,
I’m a bun,
I’m a tasty little bun . . .

Alternately,
1. Enrich your dirt with a composter (a home-made composter is possible) and with hoeing. The latter is a lot of work, but it is better for the soil than plowing or rototilling.
2. No argument with hand watering. But, if you have school-aged kids . . .
3. It is easier to do plants now than seeds, with the…

I tried seashells, but even with the ground covering, there were too many weeds.

We can’t eat beef, and we can only have a few fish. Shrimp is our mainstay right now. We’re having it cooked in the pan with some pasta and veggies and spices.

When is the finale of “Amphibia”?

Muppets tonight is on Disney Plus already.

I feel all cute is stupid.

Or at least cruel. On an ad, when some little kid falls down and starts crying, the response shouldn’t be, “Aw, how cute.” The response should be, “Go comfort that kid!”

It seems like a small list. I feel as if this is more “most popular mainstream English-language pop music of the last few decades.” 

I would disagree. For me, it would be more interesting for a stranger to the Quantum Leap project to “become Sam”.

They could counter this in the new series if they allowed the Leaper to visit other countries.
