Well That Was Fun

Halloween passed quietly, thankfully. The one truly nice thing about living in an apartment complex with only our balcony doors to the outside world, & secured doors to the building, is that we don't have to deal with T-or-T'ers. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against getting into a fun costume & make-up, & passing out candy to the little one's; but after years of passing out candy for my folks, the little ones come early, & it's the teens, that have no business going out to beg candy, that you see most of the night! There should be community parties for them to go to; so that they can enjoy being creative, & socialize; but not go around to houses for candy like the little children.

Enough of my ranting... I had another interview yesterday, not much of a job -- 20hrs. per week, just general office assisting... but it would be a job.

Well today & tomorrow would be the last days I could use the tickets to Elitch's, but even though the Weather Channel says it's Supposed to be 49*F today it will never get there... It is ~1:30PM & the current temp is just 30*F, ~ 90% humidity, with a light wind. This means that the effects of wind chill & just plain damp cold, you'll be a person-sickle in a matter of minutes, especially after just one or two fast rides! So, no Elitch's for this "little black duck"!
I've always said that "I'm crazy. Not Stupid!"

On a totally different note... I just got off the line with a friend that suggested that I share with you one of my short-cut receipts.
This one is fast
Creamy-Tomato-Basil Soup

..1 can...Condensed Tomato Soup

1/3 can...Water (to rinse the soup out of the can).

2/3 can...Milk or Soy Milk in my case.

To Taste..Dry Basil

To Taste..Dry Parsley
(I use about half again as much Parsley as Basil)

Stir it all together in a Microwaveable bowl with a lid.
Heat till it boils. Stirring it once or twice as needed.
Ladle into a nice mug & enjoy on a cold day, with a good Blog...

Well TTFN....
