What's on your mind (2026)

It’s not even in my top 3 carbs, and yet… I’ve been craving it lately :slight_smile:

World of Fallout starting to look pretty good, actually.

See if your local grocery store has “Mr. Yoshida’s Sauce” – it is so good on white rice. Here is some white rice (with Mr. Yoshida’s Sauce) paired with breaded beef liver. Really yummy meal!!

My grocery store stopped stocking it, so I have to order it off of ebay, Amazon or Walmart.com

Oh, I’m not lacking for sauces :slight_smile:

I never cared much for plain white rice and used to say I could die happily without ever having it again.

But lately I’ve been enjoying its simplicity and… flavor.

Earlier this morning I had plans to ride my bicycle up to the grocery store in search of “clearance” items. Just as I was about to leave, the skies opened up and it rained buckets full.

So… I changed my plans and started doing some preliminary work on my 2025 income taxes.

I think I would have preferred to get rained on.

Someone needs to remember for me what I froze in an ice cube tray that kind of tastes like lemon juice. Pretty sure it’s not lemon juice, though. I have no reason to freeze lemon juice.

Do you have a practical joker with access to your freezer?

No would who would take that kind of risk. Am I…sleep-freezing???

Only one way to find out: make a cocktail with it.

That’s a good idea. I’ll do it tomorrow, when I’m not so exhausted from singing (in a short opera in Times Square, and yes, I lead an odd life) and marching (no explanation necessary, I trust).

Both activities practically scream for a lemony, refreshing drink, but maybe that’s just me.

I’m two cocktails in already. I’m not going to properly appreciate a third.

That makes sense.

Okay, my friend E reminds me that someone brought a bag of over-the-hill limes to my holiday brunch gathering and speculates that I probably froze the juice. Mystery solved!

The beauty of the German language: my recent procedure is called Rotatorenmanschettenreparatur. The OG injury that required the repair?

The relief in knowing that my father is being discharged from the hospital after 48 hours and that this wasn’t anything too serious.
