What is Tiramisu?​

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert, comprised of layers of sweet mascarpone cream and Ladyfinger cookies that have been soaked in espresso and liquor.

It has a luxurious spiked-coffee and cream flavor, with a touch of chocolate from a dusting of cocoa powder over the top.

Make yet another trip to my SO's doctor to try to get her primary med script straightened out. Dr wanted to change med to something that is no longer available. Been working on this for almost 2 weeks. I'm getting pi$$ed about it.

My lovely second wife (may she rest in peace) loved Tiramisu, and this brought back a pleasant memory or three, Thanks for posting.

My o/h likes that ( or did before he became Vegan)..I've never liked it)
 
When I took my early morning walk at 7am it was 25 a bit breezy,felt colder brrrr!
This morning,my 2 friends,Thora&Jean& I went to local grocery store,TOPS. It wasn't crowded at all at 9:30,we were finished in 20min
I was planning on going for afternoon walk but it became a bit more windy I opted out,even though its been a beautiful day here.I read NYT,Bflo News instead,tomorrow will be warmer
 
Listening to some music (Scott Walker right now) and earlier I answered the door and my neighbor brought me a chocolate Easter Bunny. I may be gnawing on some chocolate later after it gets nice and frozen in the freezer. Had my lunch of a nice sized avocado sandwich, watched some News.
 
Went to the hospital I like and told them I had not been called for my scans and can I make an appointment? She says oh sorry you haven’t been called let me look. Yup, we have both the orders. If you want to wait an hour or so, we will work you in. YAY!

So I wait. The mass on the left which I posted a picture of is a fatty tumor if it gets much larger I can have it removed. That scan has been read, finalized, and reported to my health so I could read it.

The mass on the right, the worrisome to me one, Nope. No report on it yet. I looked at the scan of that one, tech showed me the scan of the larger of the two. It has clearly defined edges. They used contrast so they could see it. Now I am just waiting.

While I waited I sprayed the grass seed and Bella ran in and out of the water, barking, and occasionally jumping up to trying to eat my hand or, yup, butt. But, 😂, got gloves on Bella, so there! The bicycle gloves are working very well. I put them on backwards, the thick part on the back of my hands, and those sharp little teeth are out of luck. Tuesday she goes to board and train.
 
A successful day...

I figured out how to print and scan from our new smartphones to and from our HP Deskjet 8630 printer over wireless. So now I can print sheet music that I am working with, and my wife can print pictures she takes. :)

The printer is years old, so I was a bit surprised that it would support this. Of course, as long as the driver on the smartphone supports that printer, that is all that matters. Kudos to HP for providing that level of support.

Since I paid our property taxes online yesterday, I was able to just print the email receipt right from my smartphone. I think my need for a laptop is diminishing, though I doubt it will ever be obsoleted.

Ok, I am going to live, the report was corrected, 🤦🏻‍♀️, the left side is just some extra fat padding on my ankle, but not a fatty tumor; the right side is a small fatty mass, no fluid in it so the ultrasound was read wrong, and it has a varicose vein running underneath. So whatever, it is nothing to worry about so I worried for nothing 😂.
 
My water heater finally gave up the ghost and leaked a good amount of water onto the basement floor. If I had not gone down there to do some laundry to find it, there would have been a whole lot more. This was at 10:30 AM. I called my usual plumber and they sent one guy over in about and hour and a half, and he proceeded to pump the water out of the heater and disconnected it from the plumbing, while two others arrived not much later with the new water heater. They left with the old heater and the first guy got it all hooked up and connected. The whole thing took 4 hours and I consider that pretty darn good. I took a hot shower and washed away $970 worth of tears.

On my early walk at 7am this morning it was 25 but no wind,quite refreshing,sun was making its appearance
This morning,I'm strolling over to my close friends,Marcia&Dave's house{they live 2 blocks away} for a brief visit.We haven't been able to have our weekly Sat visits since the pandempic started .I see more of Marcia than I do Dave or son,Alexei{my movie buddy} they both are school teachers/working,she is retired. I'll also get to see family dog,Aker{pharoh hound} my 'buddy boy' who still remembers who I am{even with the mask on}.It will be the highlight of my day
I'll probably take an afternoon walk after lunch
 
Not a lot to do today... it's Easter weekend and everything is still closed, so nowhere to go except maybe the park or down to the boat and it's too cold for either, plus I'm not the most well I've ever been so best to stay close to home.

I did clear out a sidebaord this morning. I keep everything in nice baskets, so I'm able to clear out one basket at a time if that's all I feel like doing.. and I found a whole load more loose postcards that haven't been added to my post card album, that people have sent over the years, so I may get that done this weekend

The other day I went to make Tiramisu from an Italian mix. It called for lady fingers and I couldn’t find them in the package. Finally saw that they weren’t included. I’ve been to two stores and neither carry them.

Planning on making mini cherry cheesecakes today using Nilla wafers as the base in cupcake paper. Just had a thought that maybe I could use these in lieu of the lady fingers. Doesn’t have the same appeal though.
