    The Tortured Poet's Department- anyone else listening?

    I have not listened to it - just a casual fan. But, my FB feed is FULL of people raving about how incredible it is! I am glad it lived up to the hype - she is a pretty awesome chick!

    slo’s FRIDAY 4/19 poll - Green Olives vs Black Olives

    One of my most favorite foods! I will eat them any way I can get them - I typically have my Norwegian crispbread with some kind of dairy spread on it and then sliced olives. At least a few times a week this is my brunch.

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    This sounds like something my males would love. Recipe? Last night I threw the rest of the shredded roast/gravy over mashed potatoes, topped with some carrots I roasted on my lunch hour. They had buttered bread with it I had a scoop of potatoes, with the rest of the carrots. And then I had a...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    I threw a roast in the CP with some tomato paste/beef broth/onion soup/onions/brown gravy and cooked it all day. Threw on grilled sour dough buns with provolone for them. Roasted potato and carrots on the side. I had sweet potato tacos with avocado spread, jalapenos, onions.

    slo’s TUESDAY 4/16 poll - Jelly Donuts

    LOVE them! My kids, their Saturday morning sports league, a local bakery used to provide the snack each weekend - it was always fresh donuts. So good! Jelly filled were fantastic. Since that league ended a few years ago, I don't think I have had a donut since :(

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    We took some burgers and steaks out of the freezer to grill, but I think we will end up getting Pho tonight and save the grill for tomorrow and Sunday when it is supposed to be spectacular outside. Friday night of a long week requires some comfort food.

    What are you thinking Rashee?

    Too much money to buy common sense with these people, apparently :(

    Natural Deodorant and my Armpits are on fire!

    I have tried a ton, too, and the only one I have found that doesn't affect me OR make me stink in a few hours is Little Seed Farm. They are a small batch goat farm and I cannot recommend them enough. I get my deodorants, skin care, lotions, etc. from them. The nice thing is, you can go to their...

    What are your go to/favorite foods and drinks to get at a bar, pub, or tavern?

    A bar we used to go to HH at had one that was a PBJ - pb whiskey with cherry bitters and you just sipped it. It was SO good. I am sober now, but my drink of choice was always something with gin. I got introduced to it when I turned 21 by Tanqueray/cranberry drinks. Then I moved on to gin and...

    OJ Simpson Died

    Hm. Not sure how to feel. He was a trash human for the second half of his life, but him being the trash human defined a large chunk of my teen years since everyone was wrapped up in that. I remember listening to the verdict come in, in a basement chemistry lab, with a radio the teacher whipped...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    I still have like 6lbs of meatballs and sauce, so I am going to use my lunch hour to throw together (another) pasta bake. And then have that with salad. Will freeze the rest of the sauce. The pasta bake will be good leftovers for lunches and late-night snacks for the teen after he gets off at...

    Solo Amtrak travel

    This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear! I NEED this kind of experience to clear my head of some stuff. I am very good at just sitting and watching and thinking. And, my hope is to do some writing and such along the way. I appreciate you taking the time to give me some advice!

    Solo Amtrak travel

    FUN!! Thank you for the first hand info. I assume you feel safe on it, as a solo traveler (and woman..), to have done is more than once?

    Solo Amtrak travel

    This is what sparked it. I am at a point in my life where I just need someone else to "do the driving" while I just take in beautiful scenery. I am at a crossroads as far as my job, my education, and now my kids have decided to grow up, too....so, just want to take a break from everything for a...

    Solo Amtrak travel

    Hello people! I have far more PTO than anyone else in my house does and I am ready to travel again. I used to take the train 2x a week to/from my college town. I loved it and always felt safe. I am considering taking myself on a cross-country trek, via Amtrak. Just LITERALLY riding the rails...

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    Made it for a late lunch since my kid works so early...4...and doesn't get home until 310. So, I marinated shrimp all day in lime/garlic and then threw it on an indoor grill. Also marinated sliced zuchini in a similar marinade. Also grilled those. Served with warmed corn tortillas, chopped...
