Nerds popsicles.
I can't really eat nerds anymore. They're chunks of sugar. But the popsicles have nice flavor.
I had a recent health unpleasantness and the nerds bomb pops are fantastic. golly the regular bomb pops though, they suck.

It's also sad how small they have made these things. I remember as a child realize they were making popsicles smaller, and I wondered then, who the golly gets to do that?

I still wonder who the golly gets to do that. And wish someone could make them stop.

Dinner was tacos. Nothing fancy. Ground beef, sauce packet, cheese, small tortillas, some mild guacamole. The prepackaged stuff I find the medium has seeds and I don't get that.

I used to like various ice cream treats, mostly stuff that I used to buy from the Good Humor man when the truck came through our neighborhood.  I doubt that happens much any longer.  Dreamsicles were my favorite.

I went on a cooking tear today:
blueberry muffins, turkey chili, and a pot of vegetable soup.  I'll freeze a bunch of this so I can have it when I don't feel like cooking.  It would really help if we had a larger freezer.  I bought more ground turkey so I'm conflicted as to whether to make and freeze turkey burgers or a second batch of the chili.  When we were on the island, the temp. was around 80+ degrees year round but we often had soup for dinner.  You'd have thought that such warm meals would be too much in a warm climate like that, but no.  It became quite normal.  I don't know about warm American summers, though.  Today is a lovely rainy day with cool temperatures.  My tomato garden is really happy for the water.

My mom worked good humor in the 70's!

(She smoked a lot of pot.)

Mostly a repeat day. Mom rolled her own burrito and she did a bang up job. I found a video that made it all make sense to her.

Specificlaly, turn the burrito into a clock. 10-2, keep it blank. Everything under it, go nut naffs. When you tuck the edges and roll the burrito you'll have a neat pattern and your burrito shouldn't leak. (prices and participation may vary)

I did johnsonville sausage, and feel very stupid. I've always cut the sausage post cooking, and I hate that. I've burned myself doing it.

Today I realized, cut the bless'ed thing while it's cold, THEN heat. It's horribly obvious and I felt very stupid.

Wow.  Talk about heightening the temptation to consume the merchandise!  That's really funny.  I have a habit of overstuffing my quesadillas and making a mess on the plate.  It doesn't bother me as I clean up after the process with a spoon.  I love burritos but rarely eat them these days, probably because there's no decent Mexican restaurants that I know of -- maybe some in Boston, but that's too far to go for a casual meal.

I just had about ⅛ piece of heated up pizza.  I was going to eat the whole thing but then I'd spoil my dinner.  I was out buying groceries most of the afternoon.  We are having turkey chili for dinner.  And then I'm going to revert to slugdom.  I think it's a hangover from Covid but the least exertion is something I am keenly aware of.  I'll be glad to get my energy back.
