I broke into my bag of organic riced cauliflower. I bought it from Costco (frozen). It's made in Italy. Not bad. I spooned some "umami topping" (fried crunchy garlic in chile oil) and some soy sauce.
I haven't tried to make fried rice out of it. Fried rice is not something I normally make, though.
I do have some sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives plus feta cheese. I'll try that next.

Regarding the poster from the previous thread and their periodontal cleaning, I had an appointment on Friday but I was an hour early. I'd put the appointment in my phone for 9:15 am but it was actually for 10:15. I wasn't going to sit around for an hour and, with the snow we had Friday, I didn't feel like coming back. Ironically, the next available appointment is in May, which would be my normal appointment for my first cleanng in 2025.
I'm glad I switched dental practices a few years ago. At my previous practice, I was told I needed a periodontal cleaning every year. My insurance only covered it once every 24 months AND the practice was out of network for me. The periodontist was part of the practice and I now suspect they were telling me that so that he'd have patients. Since switching to my new practice, my dentist has not once mentioned a periodontal cleaning.

My gym fired the kid who was my personal trainer in mid-October. He was fun and I looked forward to our sessions. Now, Iâm 7 pounds heavier because Iâm pissed off and havenât gone back there except for a few sessions with a replacement trainer.
After that, although the new trainer was fine â professional and no fun at all â I finally just quit the gym in protest and then discovered that all the other gyms offer fewer of the things Iâm looking for; proximity, cost, hydrobeds.
I have no real choice except to get over myself and go back there but I wonât pay their exorbitant PT charges anymore.

I'm running out today around 11 am to pick up some last minute items. I'm hoping it won't be too busy but I'm prepared for the worst. One thing I can say about my local Shop Rite stores; they make sure they are fully staffed with cashiers at all lanes and the front end manager will direct traffic to make sure eveything runs smoothly. For people with about 5 or 10 items, Customer Service will ring up those purchases to ease the lines at self-checkot. The worst part will be parking but I like to park far away and walk to and from the store.

Earlier this year an airport in Japan shut down and 30 flights were cancelled and over 200 flights delayed because a pair of scissors went missing in a retail airport shop.
The scissors were found after a few hours as someone had just put them back in the wrong spot but it took several more hours before flights resumed as they had to first confirm that the scissors found were the same scissors that had gone missing.

Wow. The Kennedys have had a nice, long run with this romanticized "Camelot" narrative. When I saw "Ask Not," I thought it was going to be a book about public service. Tide has turned, finally.
Hope this is still underwhelming.

I'm not in Jersey but I carry my reusable bag through Aldi to place my items in as I shop since I only get a few things there. When I get to checkout (mine doesn't have self checkout), I unload my items on to counter and then place my bag in the cart the cashier has at their side. My reusable bags stand up so the cashier just tosses my few items straight into my standing bag, then I Just grab and go. I never get a cart.
I love that my reusable bags stand up, come in handy for curbside pickup also. They are the Veno bags on amazon.

Cioppino seems do-able (to make at home). IMO, it's got to have that *slight* anise / fennel / Sambuca / black licorice flavor.
I actually hate eating black licorice (plain), but I do like the taste of anise / fennel seed in sausage and in cioppino.

No, fennel needs to be snuck into pasta sauce. I have been accused of extreme mental illness when it comes to pasta sauce because of my love of carrot as part of my starter.

I used my snowblower last night when we came home after dinner (Thai: udon noodles and chicken, spring rolls, crispy shrimp, beef and broccoli, and veg gyoza. Fabulous pineapple sauce, too.) It was the first time in three years we've gotten enough snow to need more than a shovel to clean up. As usual, our sidewalk is the only one on the street properly shoveled and sanded. The work went really quickly with three pre-flighted and well-fed friends helping. They drank more when we were done outside and then went out to a bar for more drinking the rest of the night. They called this morning. They're OK .
It's supposed to be 4 degrees outside tomorrow night, then light snow Monday and Tuesday nights. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

Bobbie Gentry deliberately left the significance of the items thrown off the Tallahatchie Bridge open to interpretation, emphasizing the theme of indifference to Billie Joe's suicide rather than the objects themselves.

Just read an IMDb user review of the miniseries Merlin from the same year it came out (1998) and it was both strange and comforting, reaching into another time like that. I also chuckled because the reviewer said the director "even coaxed a great performance out of Martin Short!" Like a little bitch slap across millennia. Had no idea he was Frik, that character terrified me so much as a child.
