Life is too short to eat bland food

But did he miss the squirrel?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was bound to happen.  After nearly 63 years, eating super-spicy foods has caused my digestive system to revolt.  

I love jalapenos and Tabasco and all sorts of combinations of spices that give food a kick.  Life is just too short to eat bland food, but apparently I've worn out my esophagus lining.  Yesterday my doctor gave me a new pill for breakfast.  All I remember is it starts with Om___.  He said to go ahead and party on.   "Better living through chemistry!"

For a nation that professes to be "Christian", we're sure not showing any compassion for Paula Deen, are we?  She said she was sorry, that it happened a long time ago, and I haven't heard anyone come forward to say that's the way she talks or acts today.  So is she going to be an outcast the rest of her life?  Apparently peer pressure and political correctness trumps "forgiveness".

What to do?  There's a big car show tomorrow at the Frisco kickball stadium.  Who in their right mind plans a car show....outdoors.... for this time of year, in TEXAS?  From noon to 5 pm no less.  Didn't they get the memo about global warming?  (You know I'm gonna go anyway, right?  ;)

Have a great weekend everyone.  Stay cool.  ;)

"We just can't have nice thangs!"

I do almost all our grocery shopping and pride myself on never running out of anything.  I know when we're getting low on something and add it to my weekly list.  When we empty a jar of something, for example, you can check the pantry and 99 times out of 100 you'll find another new one ready to go.  "Always Prepared Scott", that's me.

A few days ago I fixed something to eat and couldn't find the Tabasco.  *Gasp*  I know....Tabasco is considered legal tender here in the south, and I had NONE.  Hmm....

Today I was going to fix myself a quick PB&J for a snack on the run and found we had no J.  No jelly?  How could that be?  No strawberry, no grape....none.  What the....?

That's when my CSI-like mind deduced K had been on a refrigerator cleaning spree again.  And I don't mean clean as in "dirty" (it's spotless), but clean as in "I'm tired of looking at this stuff".

DOH!

The next time you get the urge to clean out the refrigerator, dear wife, don't, OK?   JUST DON'T!

Make your list of what you deem not fit for purpose, and I'll make mine, and then we can call in trained negotiators to decide.  

And just for the record, Twinkies have a shelf life of at least 100 years.  Don't even think about it!  ;)
