Happy Winter Solstice. I hope everyone is having a good day and staying warm. Today was also our little puppy dog Chardonnay's birthday. She would've been 18 today. We lost her suddenly just before her 14th birthday in 2020. She had more white hair as she aged, don't we all, but she was my little love and I was so glad she was. She kept me company in all the odd places that we lived around the world.
I still miss her. I pray she'll run up and meet me in heaven some day.
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.
Congratulation to @SGKusmertz, @bek1, and @wilbner. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Joe and the Panelists.
@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
**Congratulations to @jennybadger2. You correctly guessed pizza! I made a delicious pizza sauce using the tomato purée. Fabulous! Keep an eye out for an email from a Gutter team member.
UPDATE Not one correct guess yet. Below is a clue. First correct guess wins.
This dish has been making circles around their competition for centuries.
Birthday gift from Chris, @GGsister2:
Giadzy pasta, canned Italian tomatoes, tomato purée, olive oil, and a trio seasoned salts..
Well, I guess Chris is telling me to get cooking now that the kitchen is 90% done.
So…guess what I am cooking this weekend? First one to correctly guess the dish will win Gutter merch. Recipe may or may not use all ingredients shown.
Let’s see who knows their Italian food!
Awhile ago, I did a health check-in with a United Healthcare House Calls nurse that comes to see me twice a year. We went over my meds and medical history, she gave me paperwork on dietary improvements, chair exercises, and employing an Advance Directive - I'm leaning toward Do Not Resuscitate in mine - and after checking my blood pressure, breathing, heart, and memory, I did my weigh-in.
And guess what?
August 2024: 360 lbs.
Today: 230 lbs.
God is good. 😊
