    Getting a little better at working these fake eggs. They stick to almost all pans. They taste .. JUST ok. And they are pretty thin, making omelets extra difficult to put together. A coworker helped convince me to move to a stainless steel pan – and seek out the Leidenfrost effect. Heat the pan hot…

    Pat the Spatula suddenly looking a little .. eyebally. Fortunately it did not come alive – just a water droplet giving the effect. Might have to try to get both eyes “populated” next!

    And the flowers are not pleased. Because Winter already ended! Silly Winter. We could have used much more of this stuff for the last few months. Not in April. Go home, Winter!

    There was barely a Winter this year, but here’s a bunch of ice in Spring.. sure. Blame El Nino. Or, just humans wrecking the planet.

    During “Covid Times” I retired my Pentax K-50 – which had an unfortunate aperture block failure. I even shipped it out for a fix which did not last – so sometime in Covid I made the hard decision of retiring it after only 6 years. Not enough to turn me off the brand – the…

    April Fools is every day, in This Old House. The stove is a little too old to get replacement parts it seems.. so cooking on it is very much a matter of opinion. Fun times. Probably an easy appliance to replace, too – just can’t quite bring myself to tackle this job.

    Not much else to it. Ran the slow cooker on Easter and cooked a beef roast with some “baby gold” potatoes and carrots. No ham here (though I kinda crave it now)! Anyway, the potatoes were great, and tossed in the oven for a bit, even better.

    A simple quesadilla is a common go-to meal around here. Trader Joes tortilla, some meat, cheese, maybe some beans – fry up on both sides and done. Ask Willy and half a tub of sour cream is also needed. And while you have the pan hot, and cheese handy..
