Oyster stew was my moms xmas eve tradition...she lives it. I will drink the broth but i cant eat oyster.... it is a texture thing.
I like fresh oysters from the shell, my mum used to shell them and eat straight from the rocks when I was a kid,mi didn’t like them until I was an adult though, don’t know if I could do an oyster stew though, maybe a good way to start is oysters Kirkpatrick haha
 
Everything looks like Christmas out there. Couple feet of snow, and then a few inches of soft powder on top of everything.
It was feeling like a good day to work on inside projects. So, spent the day on a little 'fun' project.
It is actually for fun, but not 'fun' doing it! Then I 'effed it up, but kept a cool head and found a way to recover.

So, I was thinking about movies today. Some of our favorites are The Matrix, Grosse Point Blank, The Whole 9 Yards, Thor Ragnarok (The marvel one), Equilibrium...

What are all of your favorite movies?

Suddenly, it feels like time to wind down and maybe watch the TV for a bit... :unsure:
Some of my favorites are Spaceballs, That Thing You Do, and Avatar (#1).
 
I was in a car heading off to go water skiing when i experienced …well it happened, it was a 5,8, one of the guys said he saw signs shaking but i didn't notice it ..it was a pretty big one, fair bit of damage to the city
That's a significant one! We had a 6.9 about 20 years ago. I was in the basement level of the hospital where I worked. I just thought that if the hospital collapsed, I would die instantly.

There was little damage in our area, none where I live, but Seattle had a lot of damage.
 
No Ma'am I don't, as I've never really taken enough pills to warrant one.
When I had the flu from hell, on the boat, I overdid it bye stacking way to many OTCc that all contain NSAIDs...
It was bad... one of the top 3 worst flus of my life and I still had to stand 12 hr watches and hard labor.
I was talking to people who weren't there. Lol
That's one you should probably have not worked! You have to be very careful when taking OTC meds, especially the cold and flu meds. Most of them have acetaminophen (Tylenol) in them. Ppl do what you did and stack meds. It's a quick way to ruin your liver.
 
Bad thing is, I caught it on the boat...
On the way to work, I got a text saying

"There's a little crud going around the boat that a couple of the guys have, so you might want to stop and get your favorite cough drops or cold medicine."

It should've said

"There's a deadly flu running through the crew, bring a HazMat Team with Fumigation Equipment!"
 
What did you bake?
I baked fruit cake number 2. A 1/2 cup each of pecans, walnuts, dried cherries, apricots and dates. The batter just holds all the good stuff together. The small amount of Scotch just helps the flavor and orange juice marinade will keep it moist! Recipe ?
I have some pecan pie cheesecake. Will that do?

I think my blood sugar rose by 20% just thinking about it 😂

Sometimes, I have arguments with people who aren't there.


I'm getting better . . . .
 
Good morning Wat, MissK, Kathy and Wonderer. The diner was open when I woke up. So I had blueberry coffee cake and slice of cheddar cheese with my coffee ( bad ass woman roast by local roaster).

My plan: hunker down, let the snow plows work, shovel a path out back for the dog, rest and coffee again, bake. I am tired already and have not started yet! 😂
I remember those days, shoveling a path for the dog. Actually I used the snow blower and she would would run laps! Then when she was tired she would find a drift to lay on and take a nap!
