I live for this level of ridiculousness.
.
.
Politicians have been doing it for decades, I don’t see why amphibians can’t.
.
.
Casio can suck it.
Lord Dudley concurs.
.
.
And I thought the giant baby we elected was bad…
Yikes.
.
.
I would not.
They’re way too cute.
.
.
Well, there goes my plan to survive the next four years.
.
.
And people think I’m nuts for putting a harness on our cat.
Geesh.
.
.
I was walking down the personal care aisle at Market Basket the other day looking for bar soap.
Scanning the shelves, my eye caught this –
.
.
Oddly enough I read this as dead sea mud.
As in the sea mud was dead… versus alive.
For a split second I thought, how strange. Why would I want to bathe in anything dead?
🤣
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten stretched out beside me yesterday while I was reading ….
.
.
And his head made a perfect resting spot for my bookmark.
.
.
His Lordship was not amused.
.
.
And oh yeah, I’m going to pay for this.
If not now…
Then soon.
Feline revenge is a dish best served cold.
🤣
.
.
It’s silly, but fun.
.
.
Use predictive text and see what happens.
.
.
Makes sense, I guess.
.
.
No.
The first home my husband and I bought had wallpaper in every room. I’m not a fan…
.
.
Nothing, I hope.
.
.
Well, that went dark in a hurry.
Now you..
What does your phone think you really want?
.
.
Leaving York Beach the other day, we headed north along the coastal route.
.
.
Past the park…
.
.
And down to Cape Neddick….
.
.
Home to the (famous in these parts) Nubble Light.
.
.
Built in 1878 at the cost of $15,000, Nubble is still in use today and contains its original Fresnel lens.
Fun fact?
Nubble Light is a famous American icon and a classic example of a lighthouse. An image of the lighthouse is included on the Voyager Golden Record carried by the Voyager spacecraft as one of Earth’s most prominent man-made structures or natural features, alongside features such as the Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal, to be viewed should it fall into the hands of intelligent extraterrestrials.
And though my picture looks like you could just walk right up and explore, the lighthouse actually sits on an island and is inaccessible to the public.
.
.
No matter, the scenery is pretty sweet from this side as well.
.
.
😊
.

A blueberry mule by the ocean is a beautiful thing.
.
.
Even if the restaurant’s decor leaves a bit to be desired.
.
.
Lobster Cove got good reviews for its seafood so we gave it a whirl.
.
.
View from upstairs?
Not too shabby.
.
.
My clam chowder was excellent and aside from the weird onion ring topping on my husband’s beloved French onion soup, his was tasty as well.
.
.
Fried sea scallops for me, a decadent seafood casserole in lobster bisque for my spouse and we were happy campers.
.
.
Almost as happy as these seagulls…
.
.
Who were fed by this kind stranger.
.
.
No… don’t leave!
😉
.
.
Useless, but hopefully amusing.
.
.
Can I just say…
Ewww.
.
.
He tasted butter from the Bronze Age?
I won’t even eat a leftover from my fridge after the first day.
.
.
I dare them to try that with Lord Dudley Mountcatten.

Mozart might have been a genius when it came to composing, but otherwise he sounds like a right royal ass.

.

Nope.
Sorry, I don’t want to know.
.
.
I can’t even…
.
.
Since our weather has been crazy beautiful?
Road trip!
.
.
York Beach, a popular tourist destination during the summer but wonderfully deserted this time of year.
.
.
It’s a typical seaside community that we avoid like the plague during peak season.
.
.
But on a bright November afternoon?
.
.
These folks had the right idea.
.
.
Across from the ocean?
.
.
Some seriously large pumpkins.
.
.
It’s a lovely area.
.
.
Off season.
😉

It probably won’t surprise you to learn my algorithms often give me cocktail recipes… which spellcheck just changed to ‘road pies’ for some inexplicable reason… and while I’m always up for new cocktail combos?
Things have taken a decidedly blue turn lately.
.
.
.
I dislike cutesy… not to mention raunchy… names and won’t be ordering those anytime soon.
😒
.
.
You may have to think for a moment but it (probably) won’t hurt.
.
.
Here’s what makes me see red –
I’m cooking, carefully following a recipe and laying out all my ingredients… only to discover that the 12 ounce can/bag/box of whatever I need is now 10 ounces due to shrinkflation and I need to make another run to the grocery store to pick up another full can/bag/box of whatever it is I need to get that missing 2 ounces.
Grrr.
Pay more/get less drives me insane. Add the damn .40 cents to the price and give me a full portion of the product so I don’t have to buy 2 and end up wasting most of the second.
.
.
😡
Okay, that’s my kitchen rager. How about you?
What makes you crazy in the kitchen.

River's world.....
