Not anymore, R2.
Our salespeople makes oatmeal in the microwave and it alwasy boils over. When you open the microwave, it smells like brown sugar and cinnamon. Why don't they boil the water in the microwave and then pour that into the bowl? You can let it steep for a few minutes until it's to your liking.

Ugh, enough talk about oatmeal.
Ironically, my mom grew up eating oatmeal practically everyday but she never once gave us oatmeal to eat as little kids. I’ve never had a bowl of oatmeal prepared by her, either made from scratch or the little flavored envelopes.
I made steel cut oats once, soaking overnight and everything but I never made it again. I did like it. It was an Americas Test Kitchen or their other shows’ recipe. It was good.

As I age into senescence I discover I prefer my oatmeal savory rather than sweet. I make it with unsalted vegetable and chicken broth.

I’m having oatmeal for dinner. Rolled oats with a lot of cinnamon, a dash of allspice, walnuts and some cut up apple.
I turn the heat off once I add the oats to the boiling water and put a lid on the pot and let stand about 10 minutes. No boiling over. Not sure if this method works for steel cut oats though.

I just got back from the Aldi without ambience I mentioned in the previous thread.
I got there at 8:10 and the store didn't open until 8:30 so I was the only car sitting in the parking lot. Then a very elderly man on a scooter with an oxygen tank came and tapped on my window and asked me to call 911 as a man had fallen out of his wheelchair in the woods behind Aldi and neither of them had a phone. In relaying the situation to the 911 I learned he was cutting through the woods to get to Aldi, hit a bump and fell out of his chair. Scooter guy was going by on his way to Aldi and heard his cries.
After the call, I began to follow the scooter guy to the back of Aldi. Before we even made it to the back ambulance arrived and I turned around left.
I don't understand why this guy was out alone in a wheelchair and not a scooter. Did someone dump him in the woods? Why didn't any of the joggers in that area hear his cries, do they all wear headphones? The Aldi is actually in a nice area surrounded by new developments, just an old store. The whole thing made me so sad.
Anyway, I got my profiteroles at Aldi and left. I highly recommend the profiteroles Aldi has this week, I get them every year.

Looky here Mr. Smarty Pants @r32, I went to the car wash that opened at 8:00 first, saw the already long lines wrapped around the building and said "forget that" and just headed to my next stop which was Aldi.
Obviously the universe arranged it so I could be there to make the call for the guy. More cars were only beginning to trickle into the parking lot as I was leaving with my profiteroles.

In the three years I've had this house my next door neighbor has asked me at least six times if I wanted to go to "the junkyard" with him. Each time I've declined.
My responses have ranged from "No thanks, not my thing" to "Thanks for thinking of me but not an interest of mine" to "No thanks" to "Oh no, thanks anyway" and the last time I said "I'd rather go to jail".
Yet despite this, today he came and asked me again. I responded with "Have we met?". He chuckled, tilted and nodded his head and walked away.
He will be back in a couple of months to ask me AGAIN, guaranteed.

My groceries were delivered almost exactly at 11:00 (yay!) They substituted Van Leewen's Vanilla Bean for their Honeycomb (everyone loves Honeycomb), but otherwise, the order was perfect. I had planned to tip the driver $10 in cash, but he dropped and ran, though the website states clearly that we have to meet the driver for "attended" deliveries.

r136, indeed, Van Leewen's Vanilla Bean is not as good as Van Leewen's Honeycomb.
Those are ice cream flavors, r138. Vanilla Bean isn't bad, but it's not Honeycomb, with its tiny caramel crystals. Both flavors are better than WFM's* so-called heirloom tomatoes, which have the taste and texture of any out-of-season tomato.
* WFM is the initialization for Whole Foods Market (for r138).

I was cleaning out a closet this morning, going through clothes before donating them. I’m retired and as timeless as most of my suits and jackets are, I’m never going to have to need business attire again. If I go to two weddings, two funerals, and two fancy dinners a year now it’s a lot, so two suits and a blue blazer are all I need.
Evidence of my former life in the pocket of a linen blazer: a ticket in the original AA jacket to Buenos Aires from December, 2005. If I haven’t worn that jacket for 19 years I don’t think I’ll miss it. Likewise some kind of winter coat with toggles my mom bought me in London 40 years ago. Still fits and we still have winter so I’m keeping that. But otherwise bags of stuff going out.
It’s not the death cleanse but I’m making a stab at winnowing the stuff down to the necessities.

R228, we are taking the 2006, F-150 in this week. We are in Pendleton, Oregon and the cost for a Ford, factory rebuilt transmission will be $5,200, plus and extra $400 if it needs a new fan(which it will, most likely need). It will come with a three year, parts and labor warranty and can be serviced at any Ford dealer. We've already spent close or lost $2,000 for two separate tows, a diagnostics check and a car rental. The truck broke down in Washington state Tri-Cities area so that is why we've already spent some $$. In Wa., they sales tax would have been more than $500 and their labor charges are $160 per hour. Oregon doesn't have the tax and the warranty is much better here. So we had to tow the truck a second time to get it home. I wanted to roll the damned thing into a ditch, but my partner insists it's worthwhile to fix as it has a newer, factory installed engine with 20,000 miles on it.

I've gotten into the habit of having a whole bag of frozen vegetables as my lunch once or twice a week. I get different mixtures, sometimes just a single vegetable.
It's not too low calories as I add a tablespoon of Land O Lakes Butter (the one in a tub made with olive oil and sea salt) and freshly grated parm.
"Good" parm makes anything better.

Plenty of self-courtesy flushes later, I have two or three piles ready for wash. This is when I plot out my bedding for the week. Fitted sheets can trap anything in the washer.

Did Hyman Roth know it was Michael that had ordered the hit on Mo Green?
Roth gave his little speech about how Green started Vegas and not even a plaque to acknowledge it.
Did he know it was Michael?
by Anonymous | reply 319 | November 10, 2024 8:07 PM |
Yes, Hyman Roth knew. He was trying to show Michael that this was all business, not personal. I.e., Roth had a good relationship with Moe Greene, Roth knew that Michael had Greene killed, but that's business. Roth's point was that he was able to move on, despite his good feelings towards Greene. Hence, Michael should be able to move on (from whatever nefarious deeds done to Michael & family), as well. Because: it's the price of business.

Of course Michael will not forgive. I wonder what made him so bitter and hardened. Was it because his first wife was killed? That his dad was also shot at? His days during the war? His brother also getting killed?
He just went scorched earth from the first movie on.
by Anonymous | reply 322 | November 10, 2024 9:31 PM |
R322, scorched earth is a good way to describe it.
Michael was black and white about a lot of things, e.g., family "loyalty." It was a strength and a weakness. He was able to make decisions dispassionately, like getting rid of Tom Hagen as the consigliere. I don't think he ever considered Tom a brother.
He got rid of a dirty cop.
The bad side was that he could have divorced Kay without removing her from his children's lives. He could even have had full custody and allowed them to see her.
