Sick and bored

October 22, 2006 by Lauren 4 Comments

I have a sore throat today and feel like a big whiner. Yesterday I slept all afternoon, which resulted in a terrible night’s sleep. So today I’m watching a lot of t.v. while sitting on the floor so I don’t sack out. I also made lunch (tuna casserole) and tried a microwave cake recipe. (Some guy on Food Network was making microwave brownies, but I’m more of a cake person.) Anyway, it turned out ok. It was a little dry, so I guess I’d add more liquids or not zap it for the whole two minutes. If you want to try it, here’s a link.

The recipe is: In a microwave-safe container, mix these ingredients successively: (use a little whisk if you have it) 2 Tbs melted butter, 3 Tbs sugar, 1 egg, 2 Tbs cocoa powder, 2 Tbs flour, 1/8 tsp baking powder. Cover loosely and microwave 2 – 2 1/2 minutes. (I’d try under two minutes, and I added a splash of vanilla. I think I’d add a little milk or a little more butter to moisten it up.)

Quick, but a wee bit dry.

Happy Halloween!

October 21, 2006 by Lauren 3 Comments

It’s a do-nothing Saturday at the Sommerer’s, although if it’s anything like the last do-nothing day, we’ll be singing back up for Sting tonight.  I’m wondering what I should get accomplished, and it might be getting out the Halloween decorations.  Speaking of decorating, Brad had some electrical trouble at his home, but I completely think he should look on the bright side.  Look what can be done to make it fit the holiday season!  A little spray paint can work miracles!

Boohooah-ha-ha

A rebuttal to Brad’s hair posts

October 19, 2006 by Lauren 7 Comments

I hope that’s how you spell rebuttal.  Anyway, Lloyd got a haircut on Friday, and I forgot to take a ‘before’ picture.  So, I give you this:A masterful drawing capturing the very essence of Lloyd

So long, dear friend.

October 18, 2006 by Lauren 6 Comments

This is a sad day indeed.  Pictured here is my trusty container of ranch dressing powder that I put on popcorn – we’ve been together nearly two years.   We met at Sam’s Club in the spring of ’05.  *sniff*  I knew this day was coming, but I didn’t think it would hurt so much.  Goodbye, muchacho – you will be sorely missed.

Jug 'O GoodnessLike sands through the hourglass....

P.S.  It was 16 ounces – 256 1/2 teaspoon servings.  The label says, “use within six months of opening.”

Diddley Squat

October 17, 2006 by Lloyd 8 Comments

Bo knows DiddleyLast Saturday was going to be the perfect Saturday. I had already received confirmation from Lauren that I would under no circumstances be required to Go To Lincoln. My basic plan was to sleep and read, watch the Cardinals beat the (#@%$) Mets, fix Lauren’s website and create this one. Those last two items were on my list so that I would have a reasonable excuse for avoiding any actual work. With luck I would never have to leave the house for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Instead, late in the morning, after sleeping and well into reading, Lauren’s friend Kate called and said that her Fiancé (it’s French, so you don’t pronounce it that way) John had tickets to see The Legendary Bo Diddley and wanted to know if we wanted to go along. I can’t say that I’m a Bo Diddley fan, but I felt like I knew him fairly well from the 80’s Nike commercial where he told Bo Jackson that he (Jackson) didn’t know Diddley.

Coffee

October 16, 2006 by Lauren 4 Comments

Yesterday I bought a new one-cup coffeemaker.  My old one was a multi-step process, because the cup that came with it is small and ugly.  I’d brew a cup, then pour it into a bigger, more attractive one, spilling coffee everywhere.  The new one holds my mugs just right!  (Plus the filter is easier to clean.)

I Love Coffee, I Love Tea...

…..Now I feel bad for insulting the old coffee maker.
