I have been eating a catering tray of chicken quesadillas. This has been bless'ed awesome. The tortillas are this thin, stingy composition that is not retail standard, I would compare them to philo. Either way it's amazing, the chicken is spiced and cooked amazingly, and I haven't had to make dinner for several days.
Additionally, when the food is gone, I will wash the undertray which is weirdly well made and turn it into a tray for my phone and other electronics.

This has been an unsolicited and strange boon. I'm about to go into significant dental work and am terrified.

My unfulfilled food desires are as follows:

Pizza - ooey gooey. I know I'm not going to have this and it makes me sad.
Fat Burger - I never went in southern california, but weirdly here in florida there are several fatburger locations. I've wanted to try this since the first fast and furious.
Skyline chili - I really wanted to try this, but I'm in bad shape. Totally sucks to leave that standing.

Back to Pizza - I really wanted to try the Poppa John's cheeseburger Pizza. I should have planned better.

Execute your plans friends. Because life is inconvenient.

The fakeout in the latest episode of murderbot was fantastic. Sec Unit bellowng "BOLDNESS IS ALL" and diving two feet down was hilarious.

Especially with what followed. My heart is broken.

I just picked about 15 lb of Santa Rosa plums from a neighbor's tree.  It was groaning with fruit and it's still ripening.  I'll make some cake, give some  to other neighbors and if there's still more left, make a little jam.  They smell amazing.  There's nothing comparable to the fragrance of freshly picked fruit.

If they hate his bad cowpoo bill, why did they vote for it?

Because he will ruin them if they don't.

Someone recently posted a hot pocket on reddit, it was seriously 1/4 the size I remember them being.

I actually preferred the albertsons knockoff hot pockets, but I'm not going to drive four states to get some.

I've been experimenting with pulsing meat to get a finer grain, but it's playing with fire. It only takes one too many taps on the processor to get into unpleasantness.

Alton brown warned me!

Anyway, the burrito meat came out very well, I practiced restraint.
 Sloppy joe? Not so much. I might put them over hot dogs and see if that's better, but a standalone sloppy joe? Nah, it's too fine.

TNG and myself took the opportunity to watch Predator: Killer of Killers while the rest of the family were in christ country for a week. That film really surprised me as it was so well done. I think the animation actually worked better than 'live action'. I really hope they make it an ongoing thing.

On amazonprime video:
Ivan the Terrible.
Great costumes and sets.  In Russian with subtitles.  I think he needed to be more terrible to have earned this name.  I just finished episode 3.  I don't think this production gives much of an insight into his lasting impact on the Rus, the people who developed the modern state of Russia.  He does seem to prefigure the ambitions of Putin in terms of territorial expansion.  There's several boyars and members of the Orthodox Church who continually plot against him so there are internecine power struggles in the empire.

To be fair there are some great nuggets in the film, especially the expansion of Carl's Jr into a major commercial and governmental entity.  And the Costco nestled into the fields of garbage with the engaging greeters.  The tattoed name of the male protagonist is good, too.  I might have finished it but my husband, who is a great deal less tolerant of crappy movies, just bolted so I had to turn it off.

Come to think of it, "Welcome to Costco, I love you" is one of the most articulate things anyone is capable of saying in that future.  It's a complete sentence and is, for all intents and purposes, grammatically correct.
