I’ve been wanting to make my own pot pie recently. You may have inspired me, ChasSmith.

Does it call for using an immersion blender?

The Marie Callander Cheesy Bacon Chicken Pot Pie is my favorite.

That Chewy.com order they were replacing arrived around 9:30 this morning, so I went down this morning to pick it up. I decided to unpack it in the lobby and then take the large carton to hte basement. As I was unpacking it, the workmen entered the building and told me they would give me 10 minutes to get the elevator to three before theuy cut the power. I asked them if they would mind dropping the empty carton in the basement, and they kindly did. I rode up to three, then I turned off the computer, and waited for the power to go off. Well, the power in the hall was off for about an hour, but the power in the apartment never went out.

Monday afternoon greetings! We discovered quite by accident Saturday morning that we had no wi-fi. Richard called Spectrum and they said a technician would be here Sunday morning, so we were off the grid (so to speak) for about 24 hours. I did sneak online a bit using my cellular, but I suspect that costs a fortune. The tech was here for more than an hour yesterday morning, replacing the modem and working on the outside box and wires. Things worked smoothly until evening when Richard had to restart the modem and the router to remedy a minor hiccup. So far, so good today...

That’s a recipe for a culinary slasher flick. BTW, has their been a horror flick with some lunatic wielding a jacked-up immersion blender? On an extension cord?

Welcome back, Ginny. Did you bring your immersion blender with you?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #39 on:** March 08, 2021, 09:57:16 AM »

I wonder if the immersion blender can serve as a reasonable substitute, in a pinch, for Dr. Who's sonic screwdriver.

Thanks, DR ChasSmith! We didn't get a newspaper on Saturday, either, so we were really disconnected.

I like Faye Dunaway. In addition to the movies mentioned, I would add:

Barfly
The Eyes of Laura Mars (bad movie, good performance)
Three Days of the Condor
Don Juan de Marco

Thanks, DR John G! No immersion blender here - do I need one?

Good Morning - My day started out with such a rush…. 2 in-person classes in a row - 1 with kids I haven’t been in real class with since last year. Classes from 4-8 or half full with the other half on Zoom. In the afternoon, they switch. So, it's basically an entire school day. Not like, got to school for 3 hours and then have a few classes here and there when you're home. We had kids not showing up to classes and such, now they have to be on Zoom for the entire 3 hours. We'll see if it works.

I just heard chewy.com got bought by Petco. I hope that doesn't change too much for you!!

I have been thinking all morning about Richard Rodney Bennett's wonderful opera about the 18th century plague, a ghostly acting troupe, and murder, The Mines of Sulphur. I highly recommend it.

My new leather jacket arrived from India today. The zipper opens on the right side, not the left, and I am not happy about that.

Did you order a "ladies" jacket? I got a hoodie with a logo for Marvel's Black Widow a few years ago and it had that kind of a zipper. I knew that it was supposed to be a "ladies" hoodie, but I got it because it was so cheap.

I'm up, I'm up - over ten hours of sleep and that's quite enough of that - eight hours will be fine.

I didn't know about the Bennett opera - it's never come up in a search. Will have to get it.

Eye exam vibes for DR JANE.

Thank you. My 2 hour appointment is done and we have gone for a walk which made me feel better. I won't be staying at the computer long.

I was not able to order new glasses. She is having the staff look for something that might be a better fit, and provide better vision. I had wanted to keep my current frame, though her problem with it might explain a few things.

She cannot actually improve my vision. She is reducing the strength which hopefully will reduce my eye strain & fatigue.

For my more serious issue I really need to stop using my tablet at night.

Every miner in the mines of sulfur is issued a standard-grade immersion blender as part of their base equipment.
