" Just Another Brick in

 the wall " sang  Pink Floyd or Maggie Doolittle

Last night, I put out a red LED lantern on the wall. Great. M didn't even see it. Truth. The lantern was not memorable

Re - do. I made a wreath from an old water hose and the sparkly lights from last year, that basically fell down. The plastic holders split on a bunch of the bulbs and were drooping badly. This year, w/ the wall - let s try a wreath of those sparklies.

Testing. Testing is tonight

Crikey, I may need to electrify the wall.

We shall see said the Zen Master

As well, our first virtual funeral, in England. M sister s husband passed from complications of everything. Pretty standard. Maybe, the exception was the closing curtain on the casket. Here, the norm would be the casket lowers or slides into the wall. 

We only recognized 5 people of the 40. And if one guy hadn't been introduced - we wouldn't have got him either

Dinner. Tonight, I made southern oven fried chicken. I recall during a travel show, the chef made veal cutlet <  wiener schnitzel  > and stated never deep fry. Pan fry and finish in the oven. 

The chicken thighs were opened to take the meat away from the bone < for faster and even cooking >. The process was flour the pieces, egg wash and finish w/ bread crumbs. As stated, pan fry to brown and into the oven to cook through.

Well, delicious - moist and tender. Perhaps, a little more salt but you can add salt.

And follow up. The wreath of sparkling lights. OK but lacks a splash. Too small, too far away ???

It is 3 1 / 2 ft in diameter - still its 60 ft to the wall and there are still leaves on the dogwoods < interfering ? >
