Plans for today (2025)

I took out a pork tenderloin package (2 tenderloins per package) from the freezer (thanks for the reminder, Barriehie). Awhile back a local grocery store had a sale on pork tenderloins for $1.99 lb and I bought a bunch of them, this is the last of them. making Iowa State Fair sandwiches tonight for dinner on slider sized brioche buns. I will have a lot of meat, so will likely only cook on of them and will save the rest for a fried rice with pork tenderloin and veggies.

Oh and two days ago I moved the last of the stuff from my garage chest freezer into the garage refrigerator freezer (the one that used to be in our kitchen before we got the new fridge). That chest freezer is now turned off and has been wiped out. I found a beef brisket with the spices for corning it that I put in the refrigerator for a slow thaw. My plan is to corn it and then make sauerkraut balls. These are an Akron, OH originated thing that have spread out a bit over the years. I had never heard of them until I moved here. There are a variety ways people make them, but mine have corned beef, sauerkraut, cream cheese, and herbs, which I then roll into balls, roll in flour, dip into an eggwash mixture, then roll into Panko bread crumbs (then fried or frozen until ready for frying). My DH loves these things. I don't like them unless I am the one making them, usually people put too much sauerkraut in them and not enough meat.

Drinking tea right now and cleaning out my desk. I got my filing cabinets and office storage cabinets cleaned so this is the last thing to do in my office to get it right so I can clutter it all up again!

Certainly! You know those come 2 in a package but, where I get them, the sliced trotters are 6 per package, sliced lengthwise to make halves and then each piece in thirds to make 6 all together. In case you ever find yourself looking at a bin of trotters pieces... (Around $0.50/piece.) :whistling:
 
I quit in 2008 when my wife passed from lung cancer. She smoked and worked in a casino. She was on life support the last three weeks after they took her left lung out. Cancer is horrible to watch and big tobacco keeps playing on fools for profit.

I survived a ruptured oesophagus. Given 10 % chance survival.
10 days in a coma. Never touched a ciggie or cigar since.

Finally got my plans, cut the grass, done today after misses the last two. 👍 Had a gas station audit 50 miles round trip so I scheduled another one close by to make it worthwhile. Leaving the 1st one and the 2nd one is off my board! Checked with dispatch and they say it's been removed, like thanks for the heads up...
 
Apparently everyone acts differently while under and bringing you back.
Im.pretty laid back now. My daughter helped in the process. Her calm voice helped.

I was half kidding, really, as I imagine that as a teenager you were a bit of a hellion! I imagine you're just gentle with your grandkids. Well at least as long as they mind their manners!

Like most guys growing up I had my 2 years of rebellion. When my girlfriend got pregnant I had to put my big boy pants on. Even got 2 jobs. Hell kids nowadays boys find it hard to get up.
