• 635 taking a mule was ta

    I'm good at making vistas into impressionist
    mush; certainly that would be preferable to
    were injured on that trail.
    I was thinking more along the lines of your view over the ears of your
    mule.

    That, too. The whole slog would be bootless and
    fruitless and unsettling. Speaking of unsettling,
    any word on your Anchorage digs? I'd guess that
    at the least your carefully hung art will have to
    be repositioned. Another excuse to invite that
    pleasant lady into your quarters.

    I'm having a tough time finding dried posole here for some reason.
    That's peculiar, but then maybe te Havasu residents
    are too white bread for that sort of thing,
    Dunno. I went to WallyWorld, Food City, Safeway, Smiths, Albertson,
    Bashas and
    the little Carniceria. All with no joy. Although the Carniceria sells it premade over the weekend. I've been living on bananas and Roma
    maters...both

    There's Amazon, the grocer to the world except
    me. You also could try to special order it
    through your Mexican store.

    almost weekly on sale at 3lbs for 99cents. Almost bought some pork
    roast at
    97cents a pound today, packaging amount put me off.

    You might carve one into convenient 2 lb pieces
    and cook it 5 ways or so; or else go keto and
    eat nothing but a couple pounds of meat a day.

    brown sugar syrup (opt)
    Erk!

    I tried making brown sugar syrup by an old no-boil
    method once. It turned fizzy, which was kind of neat,
    but then it crusted over with mold, less neat,
    speaking of erk.

    As I've told others, the damage amounts to one broken lamp bulb. I talked to a
    guy there the other day, he said there were water problems mostly confined to the 3rd floor, sprinkler heads falling off. When I heard that I said "Oh expletive!". As to the prints, I'm glad that I took things down and replaced the single hanger with two. Maybe I could lure her in with a plea for assistance, that would be pleasant. BUT! She considers me to be to young. She told me that once, sniff.

    I'm having a tough time finding dried posole here for some reason.

    No, lots of Hispanics about. Lots of Tex-Mex places. Just no dried hominy. I'll ask my sister in law to keep an eye out in Denver. She was married to a Hispanic (father of my niece & nephew so we'll probably be over at his place on
    the 25th), plus Scotty and Rose are in Denver also (planning on a lunch with them). I fly out of Las Vegas on the 21st to Denver, returning on the 28th.

    I bought a 3lb'er, bone in, for slightly more per pound. They were selling cryrovac packages of 3 at 3+lbs each, I just don't have freezer space. Recall I'm living with a RV reefer/fridge, although I took posession of a shiny new suckiebagger late last week (still has that new smell even) and I'm watching Craigslist for appliances. The roast I bought is in the oven as I type, roasting in milk, with garlic slivers inserted, onion, carrot, and spices. Gonna roast some tiny spuds to go with it. Pretty much a SOSDD (based on the Laura Calder recipe except she uses rosemary/bay leaves, and I don't, and a pork loin where I prefer something fattier/gristlier), and I'll eat on it steadily until it's gone (adding fresh/frozen veggies to the mix, good selection of produce in the store).
