• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

Plans for today (2026)

I’m donating plasma for the first time (I literally have the needle in my vein right now).

I’ve donated whole blood over 80 times before, but this is my first time for plasma. It’s kinda nifty!
I used to do that. Now, though, I'm sure my arm would feel the rigors of a 16-g needle a lot more.
 
Plant to day is to donate stuff to my local Goodwill on the way to get my hair cut&dye.
Then in the afternoon, to do more gardening, not sure if the wind will die down or not, but if not, I can go through the pile ai took back from my sister’s house to remove names and personal information before I throw them away.

My only plans for today are to go and get a much needed hair cut and go to Marinos tonight for a Fish Fry, something I have been trying to do for the past 5 or 6 weeks but have been foiled on each occassion. Chances are, if the wind doesn't die down - I'll be foiled again :(
 
Well - Fish and fully loaded baked potato anyway :)

But yep - Good Fish and Chips covered in salt and vinegar are second to none - but damn expensive, especially when yu gotta go to the UK or Oz to get em - :) :) :)

I've never understood that vinegar part.
So you got nice well done fries and you make them soggy with vinegar :shy:
