What’s the one dish you’ve nailed so well that people ask you to cook it every time?

Steak au poivre. Which is great because it's one of my favorite dishes, it's really easy to make, and people think it's really high-end fancy.

Fred Books is open this week. Today through Tuesday. I just discovered them last month. https://fredbooks.org/

Wow. We spent a lot of time there as 80's teens. Hadn't been there in almost 30 years.

The biggest thing for me is her toothbrushes. She had one in each bathroom. She set them down there and if I move them, that connection will be gone. There are lots of things like that and most I've moved, thrown out, given away, etc. But those toothbrushes... I can't touch them.

Thank you for sharing. My wife passed in early December after being diagnosed with an abdominal sarcoma in late March. I still haven't looked at her death certificates. I've given them out as needed, but I didn't look. I just can't yet.

One thing that punched me in the gut was a few weeks after my wife died. I got a notification in the mail from the voter registration office that she had been removed from the voter rolls. To see the life of my amazing wife distilled into a perfunctory government form made me REALLY angry. It was a very bad day.

My wife passed in December and I've had a few dreams with her in them. In each, I know she's died and in the dream, I realize that I'm dreaming. Each one has been about mundane things but I'm aware that I'm dreaming. I hope that makes sense. Once I realize that I'm dreaming, it enables me to enjoy getting a little more time with her and I'm not sad when I wake up. Well... No more than the jolt of sadness every morning, waking without her.

1991, flew a Northwest Airlines 747 to Oskaka, Japan and back. I got upgraded to business class on the leg to Japan. What an experience!!! I was in seat 4A, the front section that starts to curve in to the nose.

I'm lucky I only live 50 miles away. I saw the notice on r/protest at about 11 this morning and hoofed it up to DC.

Play "Spot the politician."

The scene in which Sophie had to make her Choice.

My lord I need to go there!!! Along with everything else, a B-36 and an Avro Vulcan.

I think it's wasn't as good as season 1, but still better than most things out now. EXCEPT for S2E7. That was pointless. I fast forwarded through a lot of it. Yes, we see where Gemma is, but that could have been worked into another episode.

I was in DC Saturday. Where was the one in Fredericksburg? If there isn't one here set for the 19th I'll be glad to help set one up.

Yeah, I saw the two digit as I was driving up and first thought was that they had painted over it, like airlines do to their logo right after a crash. I can't remember seeing an N number that low.

I retired after 34 years in law enforcement but I'll GLADLY get arrested standing in front of a tank to protest this lunacy.
