Yeah, quite possibly. :D I still need to make a second pass at it but who knows when that will be. Not today, I am achey all over, as predicted. Dad showed more signs of being antsy this morning so I guess I better make that beer run. It's funny that our llanguage has an expression for that. Shows how deeply entrenched beer is in our culture.

I don't know what else they are having tonight but it will probably be meat which is more beer-compatible than last night's food. I really didn't see that the tuna and garbanzos last night particularly screamed for beer, quite honestly. I am making broccoli as vegs, and am still debating what else to have. I might make fish-cakes ... that largely depends how quickly I get off my butt.

I need to figure out the computers too... sigh. Need some time and space for that. Ugh, need to clear up the junk in my area too.

I'm getting wary of my coffee -- I really might need to try abstinence for a while. Sigh. :(

We run into that, where one wants no onion, another little onion, another a lot. We resolve this by serving the chopped onion as a separate do-it-yourself topping. We always do the soaking... usually for about an hour, to make it milder for the more delicate of mouth or gut. The less delicate folks can just eat more of it if they wish. ;)

I did five mins on the stepper today.

I also made fish cakes for dinner... wore myself out cooking.

I loosely follow this recipe but make my 'cakes' a bit smaller and flatter (easier to handle, flip, etc) and tweak the ingredients for my availability. This time around, I also decided to do the prep-cooking in them microwave... worked out just as well.

this looks delicious!
What kind of fish did you use?

Dear Waves,
 

Good job on the stepper.

Fish cakes = very nice. You have lots of gifts.

Oh, they are yummy... but exhausting.

I think this was pollock. I keep frozen whitefish filets -- finished what I had, didn't read. For this kind of thing, it makes no difference which you use.

One thing. I've always used celery rather than celeriac. I'm very curious to try with celeriac sometime, but it will be a while now... have to recover. I use dried tarragon too, rather than fresh thyme, but I really llike how that tastes.

(I have four patties left over... perhaps for dinner on Monday... yumm.)

Thanks Mari. :)

Waves,
 

Tarragon is lovely on fish I am told. I have used it in other things I believe --- maybe it was in a salad.

So I had my sis listen to the song you found for us.
Without my prompting her at all her comment was that "it lacked urgency"-- a little weird that she and I felt that the song had to have that. Yes the rhythm feels odd --- still fun.

M

Interesting. Indeed, it doesn't sound urgent to me either. It sounds "rushed" to me, i.e. like she's trying to go faster and not quite cutting it, especially on guitar. So maybe this was her attempt at an urgent sound, which sounds important to the original. I liked her voice.

I did seven minutes on the stepper today. Went a bit faster than yesterday too. 220 reps, 100 more than yesterday.

Started to get an inkling of the cardio benefit too.... noticed heart rate came up. Once I work up past 20 mins I guess I will be reaping that benefit too. I'm doing very little for now to avoid nasty surprises with the knee.
