I found out years after he passed that a dear friend of our family was a major witness in the Warren Commission investigation. Was even a person (under a pseudonym) used by Stephen King in 11/22/63

Slice thick bacon and throw in a big cold pot. Make it hot, render out the fat and fish out the bacon
Season cut up chicken thighs in salt, pep, poultry seasoning of choice, brown em in the bacon fat then fish the chicken out
Render onions or shallots low and slow in thr porky schmultz until half carmelized
Add 2/3 the mushrooms and a knob of butter, grind some pep
Simmer until shrooms have browned and onions are biker colored
Add wine/ale/cider/vermouth/wtfever I'm drinking at the time, then reduce
Fuck it another sliver of butter
Add carrots/celery/peppers/turnips/whatever and the rest of the shrooms
Season? Don't neglect the nutmeg and heat
Flour
Roux
Brothy milk
More alcohol
Simmer til it's right
Add cream of choice until properly creamy
Add bacon, honey, spicy mustard and soy sauce, or lemon juice and zest

You can't describe the sauce without describing the process, which is why i chose shorthand initially. Chicken ala keeeen

Scorpio, good swimmer, like building stuff, i was rather fond of explosives in the Marines. I can cook, I am not the greatest about cleaning, been smithing for over 2 years now, i have 2 wakazashis, 2 xyphos short swords, and that crusader sword and maybe a dozen knives all unfinished. The ADD makes it easy to start new projects and hard to finish them. Always wanted a garden and hated the shear waste of having to mow a lawn, started my garden this year. The blueberries, raspberrys, and grapes are getting planted this year. My house is fairly spartan. I have furniture downstairs but other than my bedroom the upstairs is empty.
Got married young, had the kids going and now in my mid 40's I get to have fun. Any questions?

Your trivial pursuit thing reminded me of something. There's another trivia game called Scene It. It's a board game with a DVD component. It comes in different version; there's music Scene It, movie Scene It, Disney Scene It, etc.
So, I'm at a party once and somebody breaks out music Scene It, which I had never heard of til then. My turn was third. You get to keep going until you get a question wrong. You see where this is going. My weaponized autism-level music knowledge meant my first turn was the last turn of the game. For ten straight games. People were getting irritable.

So, that year for Christmas, a cousin or friend or somebody, I forget who, bought me music Scene It for Christmas. It's still sitting in a closet, unopened, because nobody will play that fucking game with me.

So we're having the BF's family up tomorrow for Mothers Day brunch. He's making eggs Benny, eggs florentine (SIL is a vegetarian), blueberry pancakes by me and PBJ tea sandwiches for the lil boys and a charcuterie cheese board!!

Of course I've been cleaning like royalty is coming.

What are y'all's plans this weekend?

I’m watching a rom com in a hotel bed with the gf awaiting a flight to Vegas to celebrate. 4 nights there followed by 4 nights in Seattle.

I plan to flirt with a BAC in the double digits for most waking hours. If I win at the craps table things will take a turn.
oh snap!! have fun! any shows in Vegas or just drinking and gambling? Are you gonna hang out with Hawk when in Seattle?
Comedy club tonight. Driving on a race track tomorrow. Going for a hike with a local friend Sunday.

Squeezed in about an hour’s gambling yesterday before dinner. Our hotel had no casino. Walked to the closest one and the only open table was $25. Went down about about $300 almost immediately but came back and walked out with about $250. It’s a funny game. If I had told the dealer to take all my odds bets down before I crapped out I would have made over $500. You just forget how much is out there …

I can be a cheapskate so this fight or flight thing makes gambling quite the thrill.
