Thank you.  I will look up now and bookmark it to try.🤩

I always prefer warm sandwiches.

 

I've made a lot of her recipes. All gave been excellent.

To bake:

Lightly butter outside of bread slices. Bake in a jelly roll pan at 350 for 20 minutes; flip and bake another 15. No need to grease pan as the butter sides will prevent sticking.

Update on cat food.  I went to pet supplies plus and they had limited supply of their own brand but no fancy feast.  So I bought some and they said if my cats dont like I can return unopened cans, next I tried Targggete (aka Target) no luck then I went to Walmart, a store I usually avoid, and found some of their favorites and bought a bunch of them.  Had to leave some for other kitties.

If the cats like the pet store brand and what I got at walmart I should have enough for 2 weeks.  

Vet doesn't want me giving them hard food but I grabbed a small bag just in case.  

 

Cat food is hard to get, Our cats eat mostly Friskies which my Wife orders from  Chewy.com, but lately they are out of stock.

She sent me out looking for cat food couple weeks ago. Walmart has next to nothing. Did have some luck at Tractor Supply, Rural King and at Pet Smart.

I never had the nerve to dive in. The water looked.......very murky. I did have some success crabbing. Another reason I never dived in.  Not sure what was in there. lol

Exactly why his Mom always yelled, wasnt water I would want to swim in either.  Plus she didnt like boat traffic and not knowing when someone may come or go.

I'm not sure if I'm seeing it right but it almost looked like each house was right on it's own beach? Must be terrible though when a storm blows in there and the tide rises. Maybe all the houses are built up on pilings.

Yes it does look like they have their own beach area.  I wonder how hot it gets and if they have any ocean breeze.  Hard to tell if built on pilings.

 

 

I do see a small staircase to the beach in front of each home. Doesn't see pilings pilings but a small seawall so the houses are raised up from the beach. Hard to tell how high.

Can you add some broth to make it softer?

Seems like it is hit and miss.  I usually do chewy auto ship to come every 5 or 6 weeks.  Then grab a couple cans at food store.    Guess I'll check out some other places this week as people at stores are saying it is only going to get worse.

That is the back of the houses isn't it or do the houses face the street in between the houses? Weird set up?

That might work.

Eva isnt allowed hard food because she has a history of UTIs

Sparky gets upset stomach and occassion runs if he eats too much hard food.  

I havent tried mixing with broth but will try if we get desperate and have to eat it.

That's  exactly what I was trying to say but wasnt sure how to type with french accent🤪

I'm getting tired of supply chain issues, is it ever going to end.  We go thru cycles it seems.  

I see French target is not unique😀. Took 9 months to get our two sofas last year.  That was epic.  At least our supermarkets are fully stocked again after a few weeks of no meat/chicken

You are correct, it's the back of the house. I'm not really paying attention to what I'm writing as I have one eye on the game.  Watching on tape-delay so no spoilers, please. Coming up on half-time show.

Half time? There are about 2 minutes left in the game.

I just checked a different website and it looks like the front of the houses face the water.  

I dont see any pilings so maybe the water is calm there.

Here is a link for a rental, if you click website you will get up close photos of inside and outside of the home.

This home rents for about $10,000 a week in USD.  Saw another one for sale for $2.2 mil.   Similiar to some homes on our coast line.  Some have swimming pools.  Most of them are right on top of their neighbor, prime real estate.

I watched part of half time and am not a hip-hop fan.  I had no idea Eminem was still popular.  Goes to show how much I know

I never watch the half time shows because to me hip hop is not music and many of the performers belong somewhere other than on a stage.If you do not know what I am referring to just Google them.

I still can't tell which is the front or the back..... I'm not sure I'm looking at the right listing.

This was the first Super Bowl I watched since 2007 .I was on a cruise when Philadelphia won a few years ago and watched a portion of the game.

The only reason why I watched tonight is because one of the Coaches on the team I rooted for played for Canarsie HS in Brooklyn and I went to watch him and the team many times.

Not a fan of West Coast hip-hop? I'm assuming it was West Coast since the game is in LA. i don't know the difference between West Coast & East Coast hip hop. I'll have to phone my nephews & nieces. 😉

 

It was ok, nothing special. I've seen better. I will say I think Snoop Dogg is the coolest dude this side of Ray Charles.

I was watching on DVR-delay. That way, I can fast forward thru the boring parts. I can watch a 3 hour game in 15 minutes.

I fast forwarded thru those as well. I'll wait until the reviews are in tomorrow & watch them on YouTube.  It's not like the old days when people would watch the Super Bowl just for the commercials.

Totally agree....I hate any sort of rap or whatever type of "music" you'd call that.  The 2nd half of the game wasn't a whole lot better either .. Zzzzzzzz    

B O R I N G!!!  With 1.30 left and two timeouts, Brady could have easily pulled that out - no reason the Bengals shouldn't have taken the team down the field at least to field goal range. Burrow sacked, what, 8 times? And basically their last play of  the game was also a sack. Pretty pathetic 2nd half for the most part. Neither team looked like super bowl caliber tonight.

I liked the commercial with Arnold playing Zeus, but there were not a lot of really funny ones. I didn't like the half time show at all. And I thought the game was kind of boring, and that the Bengals actually had more interesting plays.
