I slept in on Saturday. When I got up, I made a fresh small pot of coffee. Then I posted the Blog entry and started on breakfast. That one sandwich last night was clearly not enough!
As I was putting some bacon on my rack, a sudden thought occurred to me: I can't remember the last time I tasted Canadian bacon! Why not? It's as tasty as regular bacon and is much leaner.
Anyway, I baked the bacon (after applying a lot of fresh ground pepper to it), made some grits and two over-easy eggs. I put butter, salt and pepper on the grits (that's how I like them). I ate breakfast listening to Saturday Morning, Over Easy. Both were excellent, BTW.
By 11:00 AM I had cleaned up the kitchen stove and counter and began to clean the house.
By 12:30 PM, the living room was done (except for the glass surfaces), all the kitchen furniture was in the living room (except the table, of course) and the downstairs bathroom, the downstairs and the kitchen had been swept and wet mopped. My right shoulder is killing me from the mopping, BTW. Note to self: When everything else is dry and you do the upstairs bathroom floor, use your left hand, dummy!
Since I have to wait until the floors dry before stirring up any more dust or dirt, I thought it was a good time to take a break and check out the Saturday morning cooking shows. The only one taped that caught my eye was Tyler Florence's Ultimate Austrian dinner of pork schnitzel and mushroom and mustard spaetzel. Then I switched to the Turner Movie Channel and watched the Battle of Britain and then Disney's Long John Silver.
At 4:00 PM, I went back to cleaning... At about 5:30 PM, my friend B___ called. We talked for a bit, commiserated on the states of our economy, Obama's latest moves, etc.
After we hung up, I tried to think of something for dinner that wouldn't upset my stomach (I've been slightly nauseated since Friday morning). I had planned on either pasta with my sweet Italian sausages and hamburger sauce or BLT's. But, I was afraid the tomatoes in either would not go down so well. So, I settled on Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup and saltine crackers.
I watched the news until 8:00 PM and then found an uncut version of Pulp Fiction. I watch it every couple of years to remind myself what a strange, strange person Quentin Tarantino really is...
My favorite part of the many interwoven stories is the tale of Butch's gold watch...
The movie ended at 10:30 PM and I went to bed.
Just Tyler? You missed Mexican Made Easy with Marcela Valladolid. As far as Food Network shows go, it wasn't too bad.

ReplyDeleteWhen that flic came out, I was in High School, and I remember thinking it was really cool that my friends started calling me "The Wolf" instead of just Wolfgang.
The Wolf: That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
Cool. As an adult, in retrospect, maybe not so much.
@Jake: Don't fret! I taped it as it did sound good. Just haven't watched it yet.
ReplyDelete@jwg: Well, it is cool if you dispose of dead bodies. Not so much for an IT professional...
But I heard dead body disposal is moving to the cloud. Surely, there's a need for IT there...
ReplyDelete@Jake and @CaptainK: Love to comment, but it is overed under my NDA.
ReplyDelete@ jwg: Think about it man... Dead body disposal in the cloud? Got to be some security issues there and that's supposed to be your strong suit!
ReplyDeleteIf anything it'd be a bad ass beat poem.

In. the. cloud.
Secure-ity.
Existence.
Dis-a-vowed.
