The sun must have come up on Thursday, but I couldn’t prove
it. It was gray and overcast.
Sidebar: When did grey turn into gray? I’m still confused!
But, it was still warm and I walked outside in the morning.
I went to Ten Yen for lunch and got my usual (Chicken Sub
Gum) with Won Ton soup, hot tea and chopsticks.
Sidebar: I’m getting better at the entrée, but still had
trouble with the rice. I eventually gave up and ate it with my fork.
I did Google this and Asian rice is made with more water, so
it’s sticker than ours and they can grab a hunk. Apparently, this has been lost
on Ten Yen…
Sidebar: My fortune cookie said, “Magnanimity will bring you
universal respect.” I thought about it and decided that I was magnanimous.
I walked outside in the afternoon, but it was windy and
smelled like rain. Sure enough, it started sprinkling around 4:00 p.m.
So, I drove home in a light shower. But, it was enough to
dampen (see what I did there?) my enthusiasm for working outside as I’d hoped.
The damn cat threw up on the bed again. So, I picked up the
hairball, treated it with Shout, and stuck it in the washer.
It was raining harder, so I thought I’d address the rust
problem on my bird bath. It’s a metal birdbath with a little fairy in it that
Jake and Carla gave me years ago. But, Michigan weather has not been kind to
it. So, it’s rusted in several places.
So, I got out my drill motor and two wire brushes. I spent
about an hour in the garage, just on the bowl!
When I came inside again, it was 7:10 p.m. The news was
over, so I made dinner. I made the exact salad as I had two days ago. But this
time I used the yogurt blue cheese dressing.
Note: the Bolthouse Farms (the yogurt blue cheese dressing)
is not as thick as my Wishbone, so watch it when applying!
Taste-test result? As Jake claimed, the lighter yogurt
really lets the blue cheese come out. Combine that with the fewer calories and
I think I have a new favorite!!!
I finally got the bedspread dried (it’s thick and usually
takes two times), so I made the bed. I watched TV until I got sleepy and then
went to bed.
Is the bird bath after pic waiting on you finishing it completely?
ReplyDeleteYea, I forgot to warn you about the consistency of the dressing.
"The distinction between British grey and U.S. gray developed 20c."
ReplyDeleteThat’s not from Google; it’s from a dictionary.
@ Jake: No, I plan on showing it when its finished being wire-brushed and then again when I paint it. I'm gonna try and match the original paint as closely as I can with Rust-o-leum.
ReplyDeleteThe yogurt salad dressing did come out a whole lot quicker than I am used too. But, I caught it in time!
@ Jyl: Thank you. I am not sure but I swear it was grey when I was a kid...
