I woke, ready  to go, and wondering why the alarm had not rung. Then I looked at the clock. It was 11:15, and I had been in bed for two hours and forty-five minutes.  Completely chagrinned, I went bvack to bed and slept rather well until the alarm rang at 5:30.

I've been doing that recently -- falling asleep, waking up thinking it's surely very early morning and I wish I had more of the night left, and - voilà! - I look at the clock and it's 11:30 or 12:30.

I've also tended to fall asleep with the TV on, and at some point its light and maybe a little sound wake me and I think it's daylight...

When it's sn*wing outside when you wake up momentarily in the middle of the night, it's seemed to me there can be an illusion of light outside through the blinds. 

But then, when you look at the time, you realize it's still the middle of the night.

I think it's still around. For the fancy burgers, there's a really nice version in San Francisco at Marlowe and The Cavalier. Plain is great, but good cheese, bacon, and caramelized onions all make fine toppings.

Speaking of pesto ...

Preppy Kitchen just uploaded a video about how to make gnocchi.

I’ve done that once. Never again.

Really? What went wrong? I used a fork. They didn't need to be perfect. My daughter and I were the ones to eat them, so I'm sure they were quite ugly.

The recipe made enough to feed 400. I was so tired of them after freezing them, thawing and reheating that I never want to think about making them ever again.

I am amazed at the turnover speed. I emailed my tax information yesterday to my new accountant, and I just got the completed forms for my electronic signature!

Are you able to look them over, since this is your first year with a new accountant?

So, there’s a protest planned for noon Monday. People are supposed to call their congressman and rage against Trump, Musk and Putin. But it’s a federal holiday Monday and people supposedly won’t be working in those offices that day.

Our side is soooo organized!

My local Indy news just reported that a planned school shooting in my town scheduled for tomorrow was thwarted because someone told the FBI of the plan.

In late 2023, he released a book of his poster art.  I first saw the Amazon listing on Monday, and they were selling this $45 book for only $9.77!

I added it to my cart and saved it for later, and didn't order it yet.  The next day (Tuesday), the price had gone up to $10.26, so I thought that I'd better get it, and I did!  It's supposed to be delivered next Tuesday!

Here's the listing:

POSTER CHILD: The Psychedelic Art & Technicolor Life of David Edward Byrd (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1949480402)

It's now up to $19.06.  Get it soon if you want at least a 58% discount!

When I was young we had a Polish woman working for the family who made incredible Chicken Paprika.  The only problem was that she only knew how to made it for at least 50 people at a time.  Fortunately it froze well, and with a family of five we never tired of it.
