Just because I can’t eat doesn’t mean I can’t cook! I made a batch of infamous potato soup today, using a whopping three ingredients this time (potatoes, chicken stock, and broccoli). I left one bowl in the fridge and froze the rest.
My brother asked what I wanted waiting for me when I got done with the colonoscopy tomorrow. Naturally, I said, “Chuy’s!”
In truth, though, I’m going to take a chocolate fudge fiber brownie with me (to taste something that isn’t liquid). Before I started drinking the goop I went to Subway for a turkey sub, so I’ll have a good lunch tomorrow.
Tonight’s Weather Brains was terrific, all about rip currents. They pointed out something very accurate: when you have people visiting the beach on vacation, they may have no clue about what a rip current is, or how dangerous it is.
Also in the weather department, as I type the Reds game in Cincinnati is in a weather delay. We have no severe weather here in town, which is great for the concert. Beyoncé is doing an outdoor show at the football stadium. I couldn’t name you five Beyoncé songs if you spotted me four and made the fifth a multiple choice, but I certainly don’t want to have anyone’s evening ruined by a severe thunderstorm.
The photo is from my recent trip to the Louisville Zoo.
I’ve already written the “banned song” for tomorrow, so in case I’m loopy at least the discussion will make sense.
Y’all have a great evening!!!

"In case you're loopy...." So that will be different from "normal" how?

My apologies. I should’ve said “loopier than usual.”

@DaddyEvil — FYI, I woke up from the procedure spouting country music history to my nurse. I apologized, then told her I was always like that.

@FourWalls On the plus side, that means you missed Ace of Base.

@AmbiePam — are they the ones who backed Tom Jones’ version of “Kiss” (the Prince song)?

You’re one up on me there, too.
I gave up on popular music in about 1986.

We had severe weather in the area about 12:30 in the morning. I think the concert was over by then.

I hope your colonoscopy is over soon and that they gave you enough anesthesia. They don't give much of anything here. Nice turtle. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day AFTER the procedure.

First thing I did when I got home was open the freezer and get a yogurt bar. Oooh, did that taste good.

@FourWalls Yay for food. Vince has this about every second year I think. He is always hanging out for food too.
