Bean Soup I
If I am not taking pictures or writing it could be that I am depressed, but also there is a cycle in creativity, unless you are a manic artist. It seems sometimes that the extremists are the ones who get anything done. You have to play life like a hockey game, give it your all, then take a restful [...]

Wishing for Sumner
The trouble with the pork chops is that they constituted a new form of substance, very good if you want to go on a diet without pork chops. Not so good for me. I don’t know how these things became tempered like steel, the spanish rice with them should have dissolved some of that iron.

Shrimp Poke Bowl
I enjoyed the last of the stuffed cabbage. The fridge was now bare of leftovers except for bean soup which was in the little freezer. I decided to make a clam florentine soup derived from a shrimp recipe.

Storm and Stuffed Cabbage
Not my clowns, not my circus. That is an amusing phrase, especially now. RFK jr in charge of health. The clowns come in, send in the clowns. It seems to be a recurring theme. If you put clowns in charge of government agencies, then you can take them down. I rant, but government is not a single [...]

Kielbasa Sour Cream
The Thanksgiving Boater's Feast is looming around the corner and I will be involved in vegetable prep again. I forgot what I made last year for the Pot Luck Dinner and went back in the blog and saw it was my ole mole chili dogs. Geoff had made 4 gallons of gumbo and enough rice to feed an army. At [...]

Red and Bleu
The 11 hour drive to St. Marys was punctuated by a couple of traffic jams, the last one occurring right at the exit for Laurel Island Parkway just North of Kingsland where the big submarine base is located. I chose to exit there and avoid the jam, although I would be on local roads for the last few [...]

It is now a week to go for my hip replacement surgery, so I am finding almost anything else to do instead of properly planning for it. My bicycle front axle was so loose the wheel was flopping back and forth so much that it was contacting the brake pads. I had meant to fix this recently but the skewer, the quick release bolt that goes through the axle and clamps onto the forks, was frozen with rust. Now I used 3-in-One oil to get things loose to remove the wheel and work on the wheel in the cabin while it was raining outside.
.
The clouds and rain bring gloom. I was able to tighten the wheel bearings and the skies outside began to lighten. The rain stopped and it turned into a beautiful day. The bike was now fixed and ready to go, but the wind came up and I didn’t feel like biking.

Taco Tuesday at the Legion, but the cook had left to be with his girlfriend in Ohio, the Legion was advertising for kitchen management, and instead of tacos we could have shrimp pasta salad, which was really shrimp louis with pasta on iceberg. I had ordered first and said the dressing tasted like Old Bay and mayo. The ladies didn’t want anything spicy. Earlier the commandant of the Legion had passed around southern style baked beans which were available as a special. Cuddily had that, I thought it was too sugary, but tasted fine.
.
The day had been almost perfect, mid 70’s, clear blue sky, light winds, biking was very pleasant. My sunset photo was featureless, I showed it to Teri, the artist, and said kind of like
Rothko, she agreed. Knowledgeable. The image is that photo.
.
The next day I continued my preparations for the upcoming surgery. I parsed out groceries so there wouldn’t be anything left on the boat when I went for the surgery. I would probably not be back on the boat for a couple of weeks.
