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

Yes it does... no trout, but perch, bream, and smallmouth!

I prefer smallmouth to eat. I acutally do not like trout, just my taste.

Finally caught up! I had an eventful weekend.

Friday - gym day with a new trainer. My trainer was fired for a bullshit reason and now I have to break in a new one. The one I worked with was fine, but not the same.

That’s a bummer… maybe you can find her and see if she will do personal lessons.

Then, I was ABDUCTED by my friends and forced to go to a pub we frequent. A really good country band was playing. I danced my ass off!

How much arm twisting was there really?? Sounds like a great time!

Saturday - woke up late. Sore. Tired. Unfortunately, I was abducted AGAIN to the same bar! A local hair band was playing. They were really good! Aerosmith, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Van Halen, Def Leopard, Mötley Crüe, to name a few. Just great, great music! And they nailed all the songs! I danced my ass off again!

Fun x2!! Sounds like an amazing time and good place!

Sunday - woke up late again. More tired. A bit cranky. Sore. I was going to go to a friend's house for a superbowl party but decided to stay home with my dog. Since we live in Seahawks territory and people are fucking crazy here, I knew there would be LOTS of fireworks! I just couldn't leave her here alone.

No bar x3?

Good call though. It would’ve been a fucking shit show at halftime or at the end of the game. Sorry that you couldn’t watch the game.

Because I got rid of Comcrap and have dumb TVs, I wasn't able to watch the game. I was going to try to watch on my tablet but it was out of battery. So, I settled for checking the Google periodically.

Sometimes I like to listen to sports events on the radio. Your imagination does half of the work. Especially enjoy that with baseball.

I decided to bake and made a Bakewell Tart while talking with my gorgeous friend (Hi, K!). I used @Greylag's shortbread recipe for the crust, with some modifications. It took me a while to make it and my kitchen was a disaster after, but it turned out really good!

G has been my consultant on this. I don't like raspberry jam with seeds and couldn't find any seedless, so he allowed cherry jam. I like that better, anyway. I thought I had a tart pan but it turned out to be a flan pan. (IDK how I got such a thing!) So, I was just going to make minis in my giant muffin pans. Then, I actually DID find the tart pan!

The shortbread as the recipe is written is enough to make two tarts. I made one tart then rolled and cut cookies from the rest. I used what was left of the jam to make sandwich cookies called "Empire Biscuits."

Today - since I was baking late yesterday, I saved the tart for today. It looked great, cut well, and tasted AMAZING! G said I needed to have some cream to drizzle over top.

So, pictures!

Great consultation by Greylag and real Baker to make it reality! All those dishes look amazing +1!

Now you know why I wasn't on all weekend!

This girl is off to bed because tomorrow (well, technically TODAY) is gym day. And I have another new trainer. I better get some sleep!

Good night, you crazy spoonies! ️

Have fun getting trained!

Or training your trainer…

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My first rock band was called No Deodorant. (there were no umläuts)

We literally stunk. But then we got better and by 1986 we opened for DOA and Nomeansno. And a few other gigs.

We also had to change your name to skee ball youth when we opened for Half Life

I am fortunate still to have 10 fingers and 2 eyes. I am better at PPE now than I ever was. It seems that I have finally lived this long, and I'm still not sure how that happened.

I used to take safety pretty lightly. But now the older I am the more it matters.

dammit. I really thought I was invincible…

Sounds like a “fun” time in weasel town!

I am big on safety and safety equipment. I have done every thing from cleaning out milking parlors to working in steel mills and on nuclear submarines. Did you know two have sunk?

I do

I think I do too, not sure. I would sleep next to little boys progeny when I was in the AF.

I was teasing. I am not awake yet. I knew you meant the modern physics package

Little Boy was the code name for the second nuclear weapon the US built. It was the Plutonium bomb, as opposed to Fat Man, which used uranium.
