They were dropping some Jean Baudrillard talk in the article.
(My mind always goes back to Rick Roderick when Baudrillard comes up)
I was chatting about steak cooking in a Discord group(migrating soon). Brought up my dad's slow cooking and low heat steaks until well done. So I grew up eating it with A1 or other generic steak sauces.
My wife is a great cook and I like to grill but we have been going more flex with meat. Thinking about this, I recalled my dad always used Tiger Sauce but I never tried it. It was Dad's sauce growing up.
Saw it at the store today and grabbed it. Looks like sweet & sour sauce with pepper flakes. Going to sample it a bit tonight.
My Covid E-bike purchase has damaged wiring that I don't want to pay to replace or learn to fix at-the-moment.
It's Lent and I'm chunky as heck not to mention the cost of things due to a cruel and probably unjust conflict. So, I finally brought my old Hybrid Giant Escape 1 bike out of storage that is the same age as my teenage daughter. New tires/tubs and chain.
It needs more love & TLC but I think it can get back to road worthy status. Taking the egg beaters off, my still good friend Ken got them for me back in the day. I just want to commute.
It's 13 miles+ one way but I got the bodily reserves a plenty. E-bike was nice but It wasn't helping drop the body fat.
Burn loads more calories, lengthy ride for more Lenten reflection, save money for them alms.
Started watching the series The Trades and after Tom Green then I noticed this face.
Glad to find out a man can move up from factory work to running a Military Academy for Space Cadets.
That little budget fall garden still producing. The turnips were added after Radishes. Quick pickled some of those radishes. Enjoying them still for breakfast and snacking.
Dragon Tongue Bush beans still yielding. Started later is Zucchini, Yellow squash, rainbow chard, and baby Pak choy. There is a patch of onions but that will have to winter over I believe & it came up patchy.
We are having cold nights and that first frost is coming up. Hayed up the Zucchini & squash along with covering a row. Bugs were getting bad as we harvested the Baby pak Choy.
Hoping we can get at least two harvest out of the zucchini and squash. Picked one Zucchini and first batch of everything is almost there.
Ugghh, got to think about winter prep and some planting then what we will plant for the spring.
I'm so thankful for this bounty especially with the scary fact that if this shutdown continues many face no paycheck & SNAP not reloading.
We are donating to our local food bank and seeing about volunteering.
The Bush Beans are coming along but no pods are growing yet but the radishes are getting there.
We had some older seeds of various types we tried growing but they never sprouted.
So we expanded the garden some and will try to re-plant some more items for the fall.
These beans don't play around with sprouting. They just burst out of the ground.
Getting to enjoy a few days off on watering with some recent rain, and its the same time the seeds started sprouting.
(Gambled on planting some really really old seeds & they are MIA)
Since the hardware store had a sale on its last stock of cow manure compost and was clearing out an old electric rototiller, I decided to try for a late planting, especially since I had some old seeds and had neglected the weeds this summer.
Guess we will see if I have any success. Worse case its somewhat managed for a Spring patch.
Next I will probably try clearing another patch for a bunch of potatoes in the spring.
Nothing profess and a bit haphazard but just trying to have some fun.
