Well, I have just returned from my daily morning walk and picked up some bagels and milk on the way home. Now I'm trying to get an online course organised, which starts next week. The usual household chores need to be done, the dog needs to be attended to with love and kisses, and I think that's about it for the moment. Hoping the weather clears up so I can go out later on...I want to find some more berries in the woods at the back of my house, but walking through long wet grass doesn't appeal to me.

co-incidentally, I have woods behind my house too..:D(y).
 
Framed and hung my picture now.. it suits the room I think... the pictures to the right are the ones I've taken myself of the local area and framed... years ago.. altho' the window is reflecting in them now. To give you an idea of size.. the new one is 3 feet long and 2 feet wide ... the big one to the right is 3 feet wide.. and 2 feet long

Since the demise of my thumb and other debilitating areas I am not using stovetop, pots, pans too much but do miss some fried stuff like
nice crispy bacon and egg.

So later today I am going to try this new way for me to get crispy bacon

Anyone ever done it this way?
Any comments welcome before I do the deed...
Thank you

I have made bacon in the microwave for many years. I like the health benefits, however it doesn't always cook evenly. Watch out so that you don't have spots that are burned.

Good luck!
(I'm thinking of trying to oven method next)

Yes I checked out oven method too but I use small toaster oven so would be afraid of fat sparking off fire:unsure:

We had torrential rain through the night, much needed rain , and fortunately now, our very arid yellow grass has turned back to Green...

I had to climb on some ladders this morning in the garden to clear some guttering of leaves and Moss in the barn and shed.... before according to the forecast the rain will return later today..

I've also framed a new poster that I bought from Etsy... for the office room above my desk..

The pictures I have framed there are one I took myself.. , so this new one will be the only standard generic picture on my wall.. but I like it... so as long as something brings me joy I don't mind where it came from..
I've just got to hammer a picture hook into the wall and hang it... ( we have concrete walls)... and when I've done that I'll take a pic and show you ...all :D.. you know me , any excuse for a piccie..

Got an Amazon delivery of Duck feather cushion inserts coming today... otherwise there's nothing planned for the rest of the day

Got rid of another one this morning……off to fly heaven to join his buddies. 😉😊😉.

Got to the end, and woke up to its actual meaning! :LOL:😁☺️

I haven't done these things so I have no words of good advice,
other than I think it's great for you to try new and different methods!
I hope it turns out the way you like it!:)
 
Yesterday was a busy day...not so much today. We picked up our new snowblower from Lowe's yesterday. They assembled it at the store (free) and we picked it up. Hubby had to rig up his come along winch to lift it out of the bed of the truck since it's just the two of us old birds that live here. Haha. Hopefully, we won't even have to use it. Ya...right :)
 
Late morning, drove 16 miles to the Shoreline Amphitheater concert venue boxoffice in Mountain View and bought a special $25 Will Call ticket for their Friday 9/9/22 Sammy Hagar and The Circle plus George Thorogood & The Destroyers (Bad to the Bone) concert. Although I could have purchased a mobile ticket online, they would have charged another $20 or so in fees. As it was, spent $6 on gas. Livenation now is forcing people to carry in smartphones to enter all venues that as an old rock dancer, I dislike anything bulky or weighty in my pockets. First time I saw Hagar was in the 70s when he was with Montrose. They played a concert at The Cow Palace with The James Gang, Joe Walsh's original band. Sammy aka "The Red Rocker" has always been a rowdy rock performer that fits my style. Rest of the day in this last day of 3 digit heat will be here at home reading.
 
I've been working on reconfiguring my barn, now that I no longer have horses I want to create a nice shop area so taking down walls and opening up the space. Thirty years ago I built that barn board by board, hand nailed everything with twist nails and big sinker spikes. Good gosh it's harder to take apart than it was to put it together!
 
Attempting to re-create a deep fried, stuffed prawn recipe that I remember from New Orleans circa 1968. All in remember other than the flavor, is that they came frozen and the restaurant deep fried them.
So far my efforts have failed.
