The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 3

Hi there. I’m blogging again. I was on my back for most of ten days as I had not one, but two kidney stones. Yes, I am an overachiever. I’ve been to urgent care a fistful of times in the last year. Thank goodness, I’ve kept my Urgent Care punchard. I’ve already earned one free cheeseburger and am only one visit away from getting a second one. Anyway. I’ve made some progress on my Cats Latch Hook Project. Full speed ahead

And here’s what I’ve done.

The Safari Sure Doesn’t Trust Jambo

I recently went to Safari Park. I had thought that Jambo had been by various police forces on the East Coast, he had lived a clean life out here in Southern California. I had even chatted briefly with him. He likes cooking, baseball, and avoids politics. So okay.

But now his dodgy ways have contaminated the pristine life of San Diego County. So much so that there’s a sign just for him at the entrance to San Diego’s Safari Park. As you can see in the photo below.

It says, “Jambo!”

“Please Stop At The Toll Booth.”

Jambo has been warned.

The photographer has been fired

Air Fryer Eggs

American Breakfast

­

AIR FRYER FRIED EGGS

­
INGREDIENTS
­
2 eggs
­
SPECIAL UTENSILS
­­
air fryer
parchment paper*
2 mini-cake pans
­
* = Parchment paper should fit in min-cake pans
­
PREPARATION
­
Preheat air fryer for 4 minutes at 360 degrees. Line  mini-cake pans with parchment paper. Add 1 egg to each mini-cake pan. Place mini-cake pans in air-fryer basket. Set temperature to 360 degrees. Set timer to 7 minutes. For over-easy eggs, set timer to 4 minutes. For more well-done eggs, set timer to 8 minutes. (Times vary between air fryers. Check eggs when they should be nearly done. Use oven mitts to remove mini-cake pan from fryer basket.)
­
Eggs should come out of the min-cake pans when tipped over. If not, carefully remove the egg with a flexible spatula.
­
TIDBITS
­
1) Cleaning up with this recipe will be a snap compared to the alternative of frying eggs with butter in a pan. Or even, frying them au naturel. I mean by that, not using butter. I would never suggest frying anything in the nude. Particularly bacon. Oh gosh, no.
­
2) As I write, the price of eggs is at an all time, maybe double the cost of a year ago.
­
3) Some people think the high cost of eggs influenced the last election.
­
4) There’s something to this fear. The crushing  cost of bread and the ensuing riots precipitated the French Revolution.
­
5) This fear has not gone away. The French government heavily monitors and regulates bread prices.
­
6) If your last name was People, wouldn’t you be sorely tempted to name your baby, Some?
­
7) Then everything Some says could be repeated as, “Some People says this.”
­
8) Remember when eggs were so cheap that trick-or treaters would egg peoples houses?

The Mysterious Staple Remover

It’s about to turn into a staple.

How many times has this happened to you?

You stapled a stack of papers, but you need to take out that staple because it twisted into an impossible shape that wouldn’t hold two pages together, or you need to remove it  to insert a new page into the middle of the stack.

You look for your staple remover that always occupies pride of place on your desk.

It’s not there! What the heck?

So you remove the offending staple using your fingers. This happens all the time. Life is truly hard.

But then, BUT THEN, as soon as the staple is thrown away, the stapler reappears in the place it had always been. Can this problem of the disappearing stapler be solved?

NO.

But I can explain why this occurs. You can have a staple to be removed OR you can have a staple remover. But not both. Staples and their removers are merely two  forms of the same entity. It’s kinda like Clark Kent and Superman(tm). You never see the two of them together, because they are the same being.

I hope that this, at least, solves the mystery. Carry on the best you can.

The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 2

Hi there. I’ve made some project. As you can, it’s going to be two cats. I’ve sorted enough of the yarn to progress more quickly. However, the kit calls for me to use two nearly identical bits of yellow yarn. I just can’t tell them apart. I’ll see if I can get a better pair of eyes to tell the yellow colors apart. Then it’s full speed ahead

And here’s the inital progress.

Dear Healthy People

It’s depressing that this needs to be said so many times. We’ve heard so many times, “Have you tried …,” “Cheer up,” “but you look so good,” “stop whining,” “others have it worse,” and more. So, here is complete list of what to say to chronic sufferers.

The Second Great Latch Hook Project – Part 1

Hey! I’ve started a new latch-project. It’s early days so it does look like much yet. For some hateful reason, the makers of this new latch-hook fit jumbled all the yarn colors together. This made finding the right color, and thus the project much slower.

I solved this problem by buying DeWalt(tm) tool-sorting case. It was cheaper and better than the crafts sorters. It took a while, but most of the threads are sorted into their compartments. Beside, it looks spiffy.

And here’s my yarn-sorting case.

Everything You Need

I saw the following sign at the local nursery. It’s true as far as it goes. I, however, would add tacos and pets.

Heading to Walmart

Going to Walmart. Am I overdressed?

Due to horrible and concerted cirumstances beyond my control I shall soon be shopping at Walmart.

I know.

Scary.

I have only once made it through Walmart without muttering, “I hate Walmart.”

Is it because people constantly block aisles with their cart? Is it because the shoppers don’t watch where they’re going? Is it because the parking lot is packed to the gills and the drivers seem to think traffic laws don’t apply  there? Yes, yes, and yes. And yet Walmartians seem to thrive. More power to them.

Anyway, I’m going in. Pray for me.

All Day Consciousness

At first, I thought the following sign said “All-day consciousness.” Some days, I’d like that. Other times, not so much. The picture below is at odds with my rapid, out of the corner of my eye, scan. It kinda changes the message.
