Well, you've read the notes, the notes were like an out-of-control wombat, and now it is time for you to post until the out-of-control cows come home.

I slept well, although there were several rounds of discomfort, thanks to that damned pinched nerve and my left hand. All three cats made appearances, but I do believe that my bed is now officially Thatch's as well.

My family's first pet was a beautiful, golden  collie-German shepherd mix we named Sandy when I was around seven years old. I don't think I'm too nostalgic, but thinking of that wonderful dog still brings tears to my eyes. He very quickly became not just "our" pet but the pet of every kid with whom we played in the neighborhood. He was loving and very protective. One of the neighbor mothers told mine that she felt her son was safe from anything with Sandy around. AOne day, aer several years - I can't tell you how many now - out of the blue, he attacked the postman he saw almost every day since he joined our family. The postmas was not seriously hurt, mostly frightened, but the next day Sandy was euthanized.

I have to leave now and have a good cry.

We had a Dalmatian named Popcorn. I was so little I could only call him “Kah-corn.” Not sure why they decided to re-home him at some point. I think we were moving and my mom was preggers with #6. I just recall sitting in the driveway crying while my dad and brother drove away with Kah-corn.

I’ll have to ask my mom what happened. I’ll be lucky to get a straight answer as most family history through her eyes is hilariously revised to blame my dad.

DR RODZINSKI it was a good game.  The Pacers were ahead for the entire game.

The Bucks almost turned it around in the 4th quarter but never got closer than 12 points.

The Gainbridge is huge but it is fairly easy to navigate.  It would be more so if I could do stairs like in the old days.....but had a drink and snack at Pier 48, a part of the Hyatt on Delaware street across from the parking garage - that cost $40 to drive into.

I had a gimlet for $13 and a chicken slider for $7......

This recipe is branded as "The World's Best Party Dip." Proceed at your own risk.

(https://thetipsyhousewife.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/img_8140-1-735x980.jpg)
The World's Best Party Dip is made with baked cream cheese, cheddar, crunchy water chestnuts, red pepper, green onions and then baked until bubbly and delicious. topped with buttery crackers, pepper jelly and bacon. This dip is addicting. It will be the hit of every party that you bring it to.

Ingredients
2 8 ounce packages of cream cheese, softened
6 green onions sliced very thin, both the white and green parts + 3 green onions sliced for garnish
1 cup of mayonnaise
1 red bell pepper diced very finely
2 8 ounce cans of water chestnuts, drained and minced
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 teaspoon of celery salt
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 sleeve of butter round crackers (Ritz)
2 cups of cooked chopped bacon (or you can use real bacon bits)
1.5 to 2 cups of Pepper Jelly
Butter Crackers for serving

Instructions
Add the cream cheese, mayo, 6 green onions, cheddar cheese, red pepper, water chestnuts and all the seasonings to a bowl, use a hand mixer and blend on medium/high for 2 minutes or until all the ingredients are well combined.

Spray a 9 x 12 casserole dish with non stick spray and spread your cream cheese mixture evenly across the dish.

Heat your oven to 375 degrees. *all ovens are different so adjust the time and temp to your oven.

Crush up the sleeve of crackers into smaller bits and pieces and sprinkle across the cream cheese mixture evenly.

Bake for about 35 minutes. All ovens are different so keep an eye on this the first time you make this. It is done when it is golden brown on top and bubbling up the sides.

While the cream cheese mixture bakes, add your pepper jelly to a small sauce pan and heat on low until it is a liquid like consistency. Whisk or stir it while it heats, make sure it doesn't burn.

When the cream cheese is baked and bubbly, pull it from the oven, while it is warm, pour the warm pepper jelly over the top evenly. I drizzle it back and forth.

Then top the whole dip with the crumbled, cooked bacon and finish this with adding the rest of the green onions.
Serve warm with the butter crackers.

From there we walked to the extremely crowded Grand Bazaar.  I was curious see this and while it was very pretty we had to get out of there after 5 min.

:( That's too bad.

Not at all.   I was lucky that Keith agreed to go in at all ;D

DR RODZINSKI it was a good game.  The Pacers were ahead for the entire game.

The Bucks almost turned it around in the 4th quarter but never got closer than 12 points.

The Gainbridge is huge but it is fairly easy to navigate.  It would be more so if I could do stairs like in the old days.....but had a drink and snack at Pier 48, a part of the Hyatt on Delaware street across from the parking garage - that cost $40 to drive into.

I had a gimlet for $13 and a chicken slider for $7......

Great win, great day of frolicking for you!

Lava Queso:

Served with your choice of side. Topped tableside with our rich, cheesy Queso Fundido with house-made chorizo oozing over chipotle aioli, caramelized onion, grilled jalapeño and tomato.

I must say that it was good, but not great.  It wasn't incredibly flavorful, and I really didn't taste chorizo in the cheese sauce.
