Eating This Plant-Based Christmas Dinner Could Cut Your Costs By Up To 50% #plantbased
I wasn't terribly hungry tonight so dinner was cheese, crackers, and chilli jam. Pretty tasty. Oh, and a glass of pink moscato just because I felt like it.

Here is a note on a friend who died two weeks ago...
I will always carry the image of Joel wearing his Sherlock Holmes cap and short cape.
Joel spent many an hour explaining current cosmological theory to me. He explained general relativity at our dinner table and gave me a deep lesson in astrobiology during a trip to Aspen. I wish I had had more teachers like him.

My son has created a primitive pillow fort. My daughter, unable to break her way in, has wandered to the kitchen and is eating his half-
finished dinner while he screams "No! Mine!" from behind his walls. I could stop her, but I think it's important to let children learn important lessons like "When the enemy's fortifications are impregnable, pillage the countryside until starvation forces them out."

I think this may be the thing that truly kills the last embers of any passion I had for tech. I knew it was coming when I coined WYSIAYG (what you see is ALL you get) and here it is, only 40 some years later, and while services halting inexplicably is is a fact of computing, WYSIAYG means the software won't even try to explain, intelligent logging and troubleshooting wasn't in the Business Requirements because we all know software only ever works perfectly. If you really must know, use gdb.
It's like the old joke, spouse buys a parrot, leaves it as a surprise, arrives home to find it cooked for dinner; how could you, it spoke 12 languages! then it should have said something.
I don't think allies under or overestimated Trump. They are regular people who don't know what to do with a 6 foot 4 child who is unpredictable, willful and uncontrollable. Will he throw a tantrum in public today? Will he torture the dog? Will he pretend to be friends with the new kid and then call him names and throw mud? Will he be all sweet and behave and eat all his dinner and then poop in the corner? Time out we yell and he laughs in our face. How to deal with that?

Back from dinner at our favourite fish and chips restaurant, just a short walk from our daughter's apartment. Now we're chilling until midnight and I'm hoping to get some pictures of fireworks over the skyline visible from her balcony.

You could like, embed a tablet screen under each place setting.
Would make it more awkward to serve dinner off of. Might need a glass or plastic cover. Lose the touch-screen sensitivity.
The reason all my domain names expire this time of year is because it's so common to have these hair brained schemes between xmas and new year.

I've never seen this outside of my family in the wild (some research shows there are other people online who've made it/have recipes).
We make “turkey roll" with leftover turkey dinner. I chop turkey, veggies, and stuffing up into small pieces, fry up some fresh onions celery garlic, and stuff it into biscuit dough, then bake.
It gets a "sauce" of either leftover extra-thickened gravy or a béchamel-ish white sauce. It's pretty tasty and the fresh bi…
We don't allow cats on our dinner table, and they full well know that (their punishment when caught is corporal cuddling).

this wine tastes like everyone at the christmas dinner table wants to know my opinion on israel
Every so often I'm reminded how bloody difficult it is to come and live in this country.
We were due an electrician to visit today but earlier he messaged my wife to say he couldn't make it and could he instead come "around tea time tomorrow".
My wife, who did not grow up in this country, asked me "when is tea time?" to which I replied "probably about 4-ish".
So then she said "But I thought tea time meant lunch time" and then the conversation went that although dinner time might mean lunch time and supper time might mean dinner time, tea time is always tea time even though it's highly unlikely anyone would be drinking tea. Unless it's afternoon tea which can be at any time but is definitely not tea time.
Bloody hell England, you don't make it easy do you!

My cousin came over for Christmas dinner and when he saw my beloved Thinkpad, he said it was an "old brick" compared to his Macbook. If I'd had that Macbook handy, I would have smashed it over his head.
"I feel increasingly alarmed by what’s happening politically in America. And yet, even in light of everything in Minnesota, some of my friends seem very apolitical. Instead of talking about ways to get involved, they’re going on with business as usual — hosting dinner parties...
My strong intuition is that we’re all obligated to play some role in this. But I don’t know how to convey that to them or how to articulate exactly what that role should be..."
Senate Republican Ron Johnson (Wisconsin) has said that
the U.S. “can’t afford” to implement Donald Trump’s proposal

Headed to Salzburg in the am! Walking back from dinner tonight my daughter asked me my fav song from Sound of Music. I replied “Favorite Things” my wife of 30 years, Collette said “He’s wrong, it’s Edelweiss.” Which is A) WRONG, and B) such a Collette thing to say.
That she would say it with such confidence is one of the many things I love about her.
DHS ICE plans to serve breakfast for lunch and dinner sometimes? Like they failed a word problem in grammar school.
Ordered: 16K breakfasts, 26k lunches/dinners.
Intending to feed people 3 meals/day, contract covers 16K breakfasts, 13K lunches & 13K dinners.
So... 3K person days of only 1 meal that day or breakfast for lunch or dinner?
42K meals, but odd way to order them.
Contract already awarded:
@… it was all new information! we were doing some conversation cards at dinner and one of them was about bullying
Nobody at the family dinner wanted to talk about Japanese Bond Yields, and I don't blame them.
This is the level of prep my wife brings to Christmas lunch. Can you tell she's a scientist? As you can see, it's going well. I've been assigned a few tasks, but she mostly wants to do this herself, it seems.

Hummm.
So I was thinking about how with a couple of caster-boards and straps, the bed could be upturned and stowed in the studio. Probably? I should have figured for a fold-away really.
Still. Could work...
Then, without a bed in there, the place could turn into a dining room.
I was thinking about a shape of a table for a dinner party in there.
Oh my god.
This semi-circle table curve of wood and attachable table-legs and fold-able stools might just fit, like, under the bed normally?
Looks perfect for a card-game or a Dungeon Master setup.
Could that table and it's legs and it's chairs all fit under the bed? Probably not at it's current height. But I want to raise it a bit anyway.
🤔
Oh my god, look at this though. The projector is pointed at the wall behind the throne surrounded by the seats for the council of seven.
This could be built.
Not right away, but eventually?
my brothers and i have communed and determined that dunch is the word for our upcoming dinner lunch because lunner sounds sauceless and dinch sounds meaner

Excited cook and ruin dinner tonight
Going to England later this week. Got a call from the hotel who wanted to know if I wanted to book dinner. I explained I was travelling for a family funeral so there’ll probably be a party afterwards.
English hotel lady: “…”
Having dinner on Lake St hours after the big protest, we saw not one but two smaller anti-ICE protest groups pass by. The atmosphere tonight is restless, jubilant, nervous, empowered.
Digging around in the cupboards trying to figure out what to have for supper, we came across a can of confit de canard. How could we have forgotten about it?!? Duck for dinner!

Happy Tibb's Eve to those who celebrate.
(Tibb's Eve is a traditional Newfoundland celebraition when you get together with your friends for drinks and to enjoy the holiday before you're required to get together with your family. We've been hosting friends for dinner and drinks for a few years now, and I think it's my favourite night of the year.)
Good Morning #Canada
No nonsense news or fun facts this morning. I'm taking a few days off due to a busy schedule and a compressed family gathering. My oldest daughter has scheduled radiation treatments this morning and early on Boxing Day, so we're having a Christmas Eve dinner and exchanging gifts early tomorrow. I might post if something snark-worthy pops up but otherwise look for the next Good Morning post on the 26th.
I hope all Canadians have a safe and happy holidays.

On July 18, a mild, overcast night in Nairobi, Kenya, a team of Donald Trump’s top foreign aid advisers

their luxury accommodations in the city’s diplomatic quarter,

To press the urgency of the situation in East Africa, the embassy officials enlisted Dragica Pajevic,
