I’m the same with refried beans. Grind pintos into a paste and add bacon fat; I’ll eat it all. But pintos left whole? No thanks!

When I was a kid, my mother cooked a side dish when she fried fish.

It was potatoes, onions & garlic browned on the stove. Then she would add cream & butter & finish the dish in the oven. Baked until most of the liquid absorbed.

Not sure exactly what was in there but I’m trying to make it tonight.

Piece of artwork in the Raleigh Convention Center.

Tall modern art made of steel and wood. Looks sort of like a curved multi part backbone. Or maybe dinosaur backbone.

I make fudge a couple times a month when the weather gets cooler. We really like it. Figure it’s time to start since the highs this weekend are in the 60’s

Not here. All Halloween was full price. Sucks.

Moose Parker @moosep.bsky.social · 4d

Needed to kill some time after the gym and before lunch.

Walked around Walmart expecting Halloween stuff; maybe at a discount.

Just a little Halloween left…

But Christmas was in full swing.
