What is padel?

Sort of a cross between tennis and squash. Tennis type court but enclosed so you can use the sides. Mostly played in doubles.

Mmm sounds good!

Green or yellow squash? Butternut? Spaghetti?

I would SOOOO love to do this for my friend who is in rehab. He’s having a rough go at it and for the first time I’ve ever seen him, he is quite down.

The gravity of his situation I think is hitting him…

Even though he is a dog person, I would love to dump a box of cats on him to make him laugh.

I did get a couple chuckles out of him yesterday and brought him some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee.

Mission accomplished.

I decided on a test batch...
I made 8 cookies and still have a little more than half the dough left. I like smaller cookies.
I'll tweak the size and cooking time a bit but these are yummy.
Slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy insice... and a pleasant taste of ginger that keeps increasing and building even after the cookie is gone.
Did I mention I added more dry ginger, too?
They look flat as a pancake because the photo was taken from above, but they're thicker than they look.
I took a side view with a mustard and ketchup packet for scale.

Looks and sound delish. My mom used to make cookies with real ginger root or orange peel and stuff.

That is the first time I’ve ever seen a mustard or a ketchup packet used for scale!

Breakfast today will be Hot Bananas: pan fried with butter, honey and caramel sauce!
On toast.
Bacon is an optional extra!
Great way to start the day before two hours of pickleball, followed by two hours of padel.

Wow, you’re really busy and stay very active!

Love it!

It was a decent day here today. In the 50s and no rain til tonight. My friend and I braved the mall for some shopping.

Why would you do that on a Weekend??

JK. I bet with more and more online shopping, the malls are actually fairly tolerable this time of year.

Hope you had fun!

I don't like it when so much frosting is added to cakes and cookies. I usually scrape it off.

I will if it’s overly sweet or too buttery.

Sometimes too much is too much.

Send the frosting over to me. I love it straight up.

Funny, unconsciously, Bro' and I independently of one another did differently than our parents did and we like the results a lot.

Paving one’s own way thru life is priceless.

Forge your own path!

(I say that like I didn’t take quite a bit of my parents advice, or got stuck with some of their psychoses)

All yours! A little bit is ok.

Buttfruit!

If you’ve ever had chickens and collect your own eggs, you know!

Well speaking of parents, when my mother baked I would sit in the kitchen and watch. What ever was left over in the bowl I got! The batter was good and the frosting !!! Yum!

I went to the garage to get my pickup, it was in for some work. They had a 61 Chevy Impala on the lift. That is not real old but it was the car I learned to drive in. The garage was an older gas stattion at one time before Wawas where I spent a lot of time in my formative years. it was almost like i steped thru a time warp.

Love that!

My wife took her drivers test in a dodge dart.

I worked on my uncle's small farm as a kid. It was my job to collect the eggs.

I remember them.

Reminds me of where I lived in PA. It was out in farm country and sometimes the roads would get drifted shut. A couple of times they had to bring in backhoes to clear the roads. There were a couple of times we could not go anywhere for days.

We were about 100 miles north and east of you, but I certainly remember a couple of really crazy winters and crazy blizzards.

I think 77 or 78 or 79…

Then that crazy blizzard 94 or 95. 30 something inches and then it snowed another foot about two days after that.

I know, I know it’s not too bad if you live in the UP or in Alaska, but this is Jersey and PA.
