Blogging. what value ? easy. keep your hand and eye coordination sharp. Using the Chromebook for online business is expected and supposedly simple
However, bringing dangers b / c if its easy, someone is thinking ' how do I scam 'em. Overall, tho ' - being aware is good.
kinda ' go w / the times '

no - we don't bank under the mattress. I even got a PC Financial account.

Sun showed up and lightened the look

Lunch. Decided to try Japanese curry sauce 

Discovered that the recipe included meat ( pork or chicken ). Potatoes and carrots - obviously a complete dinner 

I substituted a lot 

Saute onions and lamb, garlic clove ( no carrots today )

After some 1 / 2 h added spices curry, paprika and Old Bay seasoning 

Melted butter and added flour and eventually chicken stock ( which used carrots as mirepoix anyway )

Meanwhile cut and soaked fries ( yes, curry and chips) so while the liquid simmered got the fry pieces ready for air fryer 

I went for Japanese curry b / c the recipe did use tomato sauce. / paste

Recipe had 1 1 / 2 # of pork. I went w/ three thin rolls of lamb

1 / 2 C of flour became a bare tablespoon. 3 cups of chicken stock shrunk to 1 / 2 C

Taste test. Good. Next time add more paprika but I was playing w / amounts 

Consistency was near ideal, a little thicker ?

Beaucoup cleaning in the kitchen 

Coulda opened a package and ate chemicals

🈲 April 15

 🈲House news. The electrician ran the cable from panel to 1 st floor deck

Thru the wall at joist level w/ plastic conduit under the deck and up thru the deck 

Only took, 30 yrs. Done tho' 

However, the work is not in vain or of presumptive value. I did run the heating cables most of winter and longer this year than any other 

Groceries hauled back from Metro 

update. decided to take advantage of power to the upper back deck. I usually put out a kaleidoscope light in the front for Xmas season. This past, November, knowing that i'd run heater cables out front, I passed on the porch display.
Yes. Hooked up the kaleidoscope on the back deck on timer. Some entertainment value then 

I'm reporting that I feel tired. Maybe, not quite over the cold of last week. And I have been monitoring my diet to keep carbs down esp bread. Nothing against bread but the temptation to do ' easy ' is always there - chunk of bread and jam or meat etc.
I credit much of my weight loss [ 182. 6 to 172.4, at last weigh in ] to less bread. In fact,made rice for lunch

🈹 ... in the ' boro ....April 14

 🈹 ... you wake up to the hammering rain. Ah, green grass and clean sidewalks

the day cont'd w / buckets of rain

A regular trip out to Skyland for Chinese hotttable stuff. Also, sea salt ( not iodized), some lamb shaving ( used for hot pot 🍲)

The illness meant that I missed last week 

I reduced clobber by sorting 10 or is shots down to 3 ( maybe 2 would be better ). The items were old, not suitable or both

Thirteen April, ' boro wise

 warm flows gusted over the Scarborough heights....... Moist and bringing rain 

inside the house, a former electrician went to work basically creating a new power line from the electrical panel to a potential re activated deck receptacle 

The receptical hasn't worked since we bought

The receptical site is needed to provide power to back roof heating cable system that's in lieu of running 40 extra feet of extension from the downstairs 

🧣 still chill ....

 🧣... and wet. substantial
