What's for din? May 14th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (64202) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 14 May

I just pulled the ribs out of the oven—boneless, of course! I’m not really a fan of bone-in ribs; boneless ones are just so much easier to make and eat. So that’s what we stick with. To go with them, I made roasted garlic pepper...

Jim Bauer I forget what I ate, but your dinner looks delicious. I go for the boneless as well. Much less work cooking and eating.

The heat is here.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (77595) • Daytona Beach, Florida 17 May

Yesterday we saw a high of 96 and today promises to be at least 93. I'm hoping it's not going to be a dry summer. While I don't always like rain, we need it to keep fires from breaking out. We also need it to ward off hurricanes....

Jim Bauer We saw temps in the high 70s yesterday. It was perfect. But of course, the heat's right around the corner, although we have already had some days well into the 80s. The longer I can keep the windows open and the air turned off, the happier I will be.

Donald Trump doesn't want Apple to "Make in India"

Abhijit Bangal @abhi_bangal (5748) • Ahmednagar, India 17 May

Donald Trump is a mysterious character. I fail to understand if he is really a friend of India. Yes I can understand that he will first put the US at the top of his interests. But he isn't likely happy that Tim Cook is producing...

Jim Bauer Trump seeks fairness and is, as you said, of COURSE looking out for American interests. Look, the bottom line is this. America got screwed in the globalism deal, and as a result retail and fast food jobs, which are lower paying, dominate the jobs. We HAVE to...

Jim Bauer Yeah, Kentucky got hit particularly hard. Always a tragedy. St. Louis, near me, saw 4 dead. Luckily, the storm just missed us even though we were only 20 minutes or so from the devastation. Went right around us.

April @thislittlepennyearns (64202) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 May

It was kind of a "make whatever we have the things to make" night. So I made homemade mashed potatoes and made a homemade shepards pie. Now for a lot of people, I make shepards pie wrong. Either that or I don't put enough or the...

Jim Bauer Yeah, I make mine a bit different, but I think yours works. So long as it tastes good, when it comes to cooking, that's all that ever matters to me. As for our dinner, I fired up the grill and made hamburgers and wifey made a little cold salad with orange and...

What's for dinner?

TaxiLady @Ghostlady (1722) • United States 17 May

I fixed cube steaks and gravy. Tom had to come in and help as I still can't open most of the cans even with my rubberband trick. And since he was already in the kitchen he finished up the gravy (he makes gravy better than I do)....

Saturday and a Walmart Trip

Kareng @kareng (74214) • United States 18 May

Jim Bauer Gas has pretty much been stuck on $3.49 now for over a month. It's unusual not to see it budge at all, but not budge at all it has.

Jim Bauer Not sure what time the restaurants close around here actually, now that I think about it. I would assume around 10? But who knows? We don't eat out often enough, I guess, and if we go we're generally in one between 5 and 8.
