How's Your Day? - May 2013

He gave them a box of bananas afterward, so it was worth it for them. I'm just worried about the food hangover they might be having by now. A hungover minion is not nearly as entertaining as one might think.

 

Yeah, hungover minions get really aggressive!

 

But then again, that doesn't last long. Soon they make up again.

I'm finding that incredibly funny for some reason.

 

Good day so far. Just prepped a couple of racks of baby backs and put them in the fridge. I plan to put them on the Weber charcoal grill about 2:00. Got a couple of pounds or bratwurst for the family members that don't like ribs. I guess I'll need to run to the store and get some beer, I don't know if I can barbecue without beer.

 

Rubbed the ribs with some Red, Hot and Blue dry rub yesterday afternoon and put 'em in the fridge. Got the coals going at 8:30 this morning, ribs went on at 9:00. Smoke for 4 hours at 250-275, wrap in foil and another 2 hours at same temp.
Stuffed jalepenos and some sweet onions will go on about an hour before the ribs are done. Bush's Grillin' Beans and some coleslaw on the side.

For the onions, cut in half (horizontal), take out a few center rings to make a small pocket, place one beef bullion cube along with a tablespoon of butter in the pocket, wrap in aluminum foil, place on grill (away from heat) for about an hour.
And my beer of choice for the day will be IBC Root Beer

 

Now that sounds delicious! Enjoy, mate!

I don't complain though on SWMBO's cookery: pasta salad with cucumber, spinach & saté sauce. Yummy!

 

Yeah, even when they are mischievous they are cute. Ahh. Minions....

 

Listen up children, this is why we don't horseplay in the house:

Was goofing around last night and accidentally kicked this old metal milk-crate full of books. Right between the toes. Fell to the floor in pain, thinking I had likely broken my toe, and when I looked at it--blood. A lot of blood. Apparently I cut the side of my toe right next to the toenail. Sooo... today I have a limp.

On an up note, TWGW and I didn't get to do our bookbinding course last week because of weather, so we took the refund money and bought an online course; Yesterday we made our first coptic bound books! I think they turned out pretty good, even if we made a few mistakes.

 

Ouch and cool at the same time.

 

Yesterday, not so good.







Wind blew the neighbor's tree over into my my house, pulling the power line down. Damage to roof, I'm not sure yet.

 

I have plans of brutally dissecting the tree and making some shave things out of it. Bark on shave brush handle, carved brush handle, carved bowl, etc

 

mom always said don't play ball in the house. : eek:

 

Yeah... I'm really thinking I should have flushed the heck out of it with peroxide. Also, I think I may have broken the toe as well as cut it.

 

o

yeah and tetanus booster too!

 

Well, my jaw hasn't locked up yet... so I think I'm probably okay. (I know, I know, incubation periods, etc. I'll keep an eye on it.)

 

Bummer with the tree, but great plans! I sure hope the house structure still is allright!

 

Okay, so here's a scenario that needs some figurin' on...

Say you took your van camping at a state park. Sites are first-come-first-serve. You don't plan on using a tent, but rather plan to stay in your van. During the day, you want to get away from the campsite and see the town. Too windy to just put up a tent and leave it. How do you ensure that a claim jumper won't come in and take your spot while you're out?
