I love my ball dad! @French_Bulldog_ #FRENCHIE #frenchbulldog #Dog #bulldog

Lots of rain came through over the weekend. It was accompanied by some decent size hail. My garden is toast. I am so stupid that I left my backup plants outside. I have been hardening them, in case they were needed. My back up plants.

I have seen a whole lot of youngsters that felt cursing made them sound tough. You don’t sound tough, and you don’t fit in, by cursing endlessly. The majority of those youngsters realize this quickly after basic training. Obviously, some “adults” have some work to do.

It is just about time to kick off round two. Got to get all the herbs going. Need those to cook. All the flowers are beneficial to the vegetable garden. They add nutrients to the soil, attract good bugs or repel bad bugs. #gardening #garden

The dogs had a very long day! #frenchie

The bran muffins were all about simplicity this week. Applesauce, Greek yogurt and maple syrup should make them quite tolerable. 🤣 @SouthDallasFood @badhopper @ephoustonbill @homejames4 @b33r_g33k_55 @cedarflats

This meal was totally made for my wonderful wife. I am not a pork chop fan, and normally don’t care for cranberries. However, I can tell you that I ate every single bite of this meal! @SouthDallasFood @badhopper @ephoustonbill @homejames4 #food #cook #cooking

Getting ready for the garden this year. The raised beds have been prepped all year long. I am slowly building the stair step area for the potted garden next to the storm shelter. I can take my time there… Being as I simply don’t have the pots for it as of yet. #gardening

A little Shepard’s Pie this evening. Just about the perfect comfort food. The weather here has been full of dramatic ups and downs. @SouthDallasFood @ephoustonbill @badhopper @homejames4 @JonMontag #food #FoodieLife

Made some healthy, old people, blueberry oat muffins for the week. That, and boiled eggs make for an easy breakfast. @SouthDallasFood @badhopper @ephoustonbill @b33r_g33k_55 #food #FoodieBeauty #homemade

Yes, I am aware that avocado toast is a CA yuppie kind of thing. However, I love avocado! Next time I need to add tomato. Otherwise, it was fantastic. #food #FoodieBeauty #foodie #homemade @SouthDallasFood @badhopper @ephoustonbill @JonMontag @b33r_g33k_55

It has been a very long week. The bottle of @RedstoneMeadery Honey Wine with Juniper Berries is not even going back in the fridge. @badhopper @DRE_Go_Fish @ephoustonbill @JonMontag @Just4BeerLovers

Decided to go with a veggie approach this evening. It was really good! However, it would be better with Italian sausage. @SouthDallasFood @badhopper @ephoustonbill @JonMontag #food #foodie

Poor @jaketapper desperately clinging to relevance. You burned the bridge already.

When you get old, you learn to make bran muffins. 🤣🤣 They actually remind me of a time when I was young and fit. The cook at the DFAC in Germany made some amazing bran muffins. That, a banana and a half a dozen boiled eggs made for a great breakfast. @SouthDallasFood

Picadillo is a pain in the butt to make. However, it is amazing when you finally finish the prep. It is even better as leftovers. @SouthDallasFood @badhopper @ephoustonbill @b33r_g33k_55 @DRE_Go_Fish @JonMontag @homejames4 #food #foodie #Cooking

Terrible weather brought on some serious comfort food. Anyone in for poblano chicken enchiladas? @badhopper @SouthDallasFood @ephoustonbill @JonMontag @homejames4 #food #foodie #Foodies

I suppose I am just old, but what in the heck did @kendricklamar even say during his halftime show?

Drinking @903Brewers Trojan Horse English Style Barley Wine and thinking about this year’s garden. It is going to be stupid cold this week. However, one can dream. @badhopper @DRE_Go_Fish @ephoustonbill @JonMontag @homejames4 @HotSauceBlogger @sode_kate
