Sunday morning: Waking up . . .

1. Was actually awake in time for sunrise service, but could not get my butt out of bed. ;)

2. Oh, and on the friends list trimming, I never lock posts anyway. It just means I am cutting down onb my reading.

3. On a similar note, I am always looking for people to talk to on IM. My information is on my info page.


4. OK, so I had to do this.



5. How can I tell I have not had that first cup of coffee? I just poured it and opened the refrigerator to put the coffee pot away.

6. I have mentioned before that while I do like my job, I might well want to get back into teaching or something similar.

And I keep running into great ads:

DR. MORBID'S HAUNTED HOUSE and HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN WAX MUSEUM now hiring. Positions: Actors, Museum
Attendants, Cashiers, Frankenstein Monster. Full and Part time for the 2008 season. Apply in person on Sat. 3/29 and Sun 3/30 1-4 pm at
House of Frankenstein, 213 Canada St. Lake George. 668-3377.

Bold mine. Yes, you could apply to be Frankenstein's Monster. ;)

Sunday: After breakfast . . .

1. So after showering, shaving, tec., etc., and posting, I went back to bed and slept for another couple of hours. It felt really good, because my wife had not yet gotten up.

2. Someone mentioned menus yesterday. I got up and made Buckwheat pancakes (with local syrup, but not from yesterday), and blueberry chicken sausage. (I did however manage to put the water in the coffee poit without adding coffee).

3. You know how they give a "Shield of Chivalry" for the most chivalrous fighter in Eastern Crown?

In the West, it's called the "Wreath of Chivalry."

Western Crown happened yesterday.

If you see stevefava (yes, that's Ajax), ask him to see his Wreath of Chivalry. ;)

Believe it or not, there is one other person who has earned the Wreath of Chivalry, who reads me regularly. Anyone want to tale a guess?

4. A friend gives me a free e-mail address, so I don't complain when there are occasional outages. However, often this results in messages being lost when the mail comes back, so I need to say this:

If you sent me anything this morning (yeah, my reading list up on a Sunday morning, right!), please send it to wtoscano@ny.rr.cap.com . Please use that address until further notice.

Sunday evening: Recipe time . . .

1. The lovely alethea_eastrid insists I call this recipe, "Zuppa de What's In The Fridge."

So I pull some "chicken" out of the freezer with plans for a chicken-potato-cheese dish.

Then I realize it's pork.

I brown it with a chopped up onion and grab the jars in the fridge and add basil,  crushed garlic and curry, plus salt and pepper.

I add chopped organic carrots, plus a small piece of Portuguese chourico and the blueberry chicken sausage from breakfast. Then I add chopped fingerling potatoes (organic, I think), Three cupa of water and cook merrily. She is eatinbg it with fresh, crusty bread.

2. You want funny? In the Liamverse, this is incredibly funny.

Yep. Funny!

3. I am glad to see Davidson make the Sweet 16. I have been a fan since the early 1970s when Lefty Driesell coached there. Dad and I used to listen to them on the way home from University of Rhode Island basketball games on WBT-Charlotte.

4. I am listening to parts of one of the greatest albums of all time -- "Waiting for Columbus" by Little Feat.

5. Then there's this:

Sunday night: SCA geekery . . .

1. West Crown results: Viscount Titus Scipio Germanicus wins for former Society seneschal Mistress Eilis O'Boirne.

2. In the Outlands, a couple of weeks ago, THL Boleslav Ragnarsson won for  Astriðr Hálfdanardóttir. He is unbelted. She does not yet have her AoA. That's wicked cool.

3. I am still unsure on Mudthaw next weekend. I know alethea_eastrid will be there.

Edited to fix typo that everyone and my daughter pointed out.
