Yesterday: bought a whole chicken on sale ($5). Roasted said chicken. Ate it for dinner.
Today: Chicken salad for lunch. Then made chicken stock from yesterday’s carcass. Then made chicken tortilla soup from that. Tomorrow: two more soups from that stock.
Cooking-wise, 2018 is ending on a pretty high note.
So.
Things got weird at the office Christmas party last night …
I spoke at our quarterly company meeting yesterday.
Afterward, a coworker called me “charismatic.”
My response: “No. I’m aggressively not.”
My wife’s response to this story? Aggressive laughter (and not at my response)
Smaller #Fallout76 detail for a native West Virginian. The sign for Flatwoods is immediately recognizable and perfect to real life.
I quit smoking a year ago today.
Notes from that day:
Today was rough. Very distracted. Many cravings. I persisted.
And did for 364 days thereafter. 🎉
#Fallout76 is especially fun as a native West Virginian. Last night’s session involved the delightful discovery of The World’s Largest Teapot.
In the real world, that landmark is located in Chester, WV, the northern most city in the state.
At the Ohio State game I went to a few weeks ago, I told Buckeye fans around me that this defense would lose them a game.
Looks like tonight’s that night.
🏈 #BoilerUp
Had anticipated this game being a rainy and fairly miserable experience, but it seems the rain’s stayed north of us and it’s a perfect fall day. Bonus: The home team is also winning.
If this game has an instant replay, there’s a very good chance Lauren and I are making the (ESPN3 Streaming) broadcast.
One more stadium to close out the birthday month.
Greetings from The Glass Bowl, home of the University of Toledo Rockets. Featuring: A special guest.
More photos from a crappy WVU game, but a top-notch game to catch at Iowa State (as in: as a CFB fan, you get one game in Ames? Make it a night game upset over a top ten opponent).
Sliver lining: I was here for a patented Saturday Night in Ames. Shame my team on the receiving end, but here’s to Jack Trice Magic.
Whelp. This sucks.
Another week, another stadium. Greetings from Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, IA.
No rooting for the home team this week. Let’s Go Mountaineers!
More photos from the cheap seats at Ohio State’s win over Indiana today.
When I do these stadium visits, I have three rooting interests: WVU, Chaos, and the Home Team. In that order.
Late in the third quarter, and Chaos is still very much in play.
Kicking off my birthday month with another stadium off the list (100 or so to go, next up Ames, IA). Greetings from The Horseshoe.
I doubt they flew from Chapel Hill, but does UNC find an airport tarmac to fire Fedora at just on principle? Woof. 🏈
I’m not a gamer. I suck at video games. I just bought an Xbox One (mostly for the kid). I have a GamePass trial. What should I play?
🏈 I tear up a little every time.
