Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

I almost posted some Marlene Dietrich songs but I thought it would probably be tilting at windmills.

You are much better than me; I will tilt at those windmills all day

What? Nothing romantic from "Die Walküre"?

 

[BCClone]

Like the two videos I included...

But let's face it. German is NOT a romantic language.

Hey, you want a person to get nasty with you, ain’t nothing better than them cranking out even the most mundane things in German.

Co-workers are dropping like flying with some sickness. I dont what it is but I just never get sick at all.

I didn't go in today, woke up with a sore throat, it's gone now but I'm starting to cough some. I thought about working, but I didn't want to make it worse, I need to be there Wednesday to set trusses.

Covid is going around. Similar to strep throat and sinus congestion this time.

anyone ever have their kid react to amoxicillin? baby Coach Hines got a reaction on the 10th day and is COVERED in hives. All over his body.

took to doctor and they said this too. Benedryl and oatmeal baths to help with relief but not much else we can do and we feel so bad for him and helpless!

Have a kid allergic to cephazil (sp?) and sulfur drugs. My dad was allergic to penicillin. Amazingly he never got sick more than just a few sniffles.

Yep. Started sneezing, runny nose, Saturday night. Turned into a nasty cough. Didn't work yesterday, worked from home today and went to urgent care since I was wheezing when I exhaled. Not covid, nor influenza or pneumonia. Just a really nasty cold.

Ugh I feel you, still getting the sinus drainage and occasional nasty cough after a week or so. Getting better but so annoying.

Hey all you sick people, stay where you are please. I want to be able to travel for Christmas and you’re worrying me.

Stupid question.

Does anybody know the name of the Christmas candy that is made from white chocolate, rice krispies, peanuts and marshmallows? Got some at an exchange and liked it, but don't know how to find it.

Avalanche cookies. It's usually peanut butter, but they may have used chunky, or added peanuts to the mix.

My big Christmas is this weekend, and this sickness threw a BIG wrench in things because I have...*counts"...8 people still to buy for. Good number of gift cards it is!

I don't think I want to be in the same thread with you people. Son has surgery tomorrow and we absolutely can't have him coming down with something.

I ordered a cast iron Dutch oven from Amazon.
It came in 3 boxes

Wife showed me a text last night about Janesville High school. IIRC 137 students and 13 staff members were out yesterday so they are closed through the week or until Friday. Guessing Janesville probably has a k-12 enrollment of 350-400 since they are 8 man football.

I bought my wife a

Lodge 3.2 Quart Cast Iron Combo Cooker​

I read that it's supposed to be good for bread making, which she has been doing more and more of. Also a small seasoned cast iron melting pot to get me over a dollar limit on a black Friday sale.

Mine is 7 quarts because go big or go home. lol
I do want to get a smaller oval one for baking no knead bread but I could do it in the round one as well.
The one I bought has a lid that doubles as a grill pan

I think she may already have something similar in size but a different maker. Hers is some french named one that costs way too much. We should have bought lodge, it looks nearly identical

7-quarts? Expecting company a lot?

I have a regular size but also bought this mini size, two quart. Martha Stewart special at Macy's a few years back. Cooking friend of my laughed at me till I showed here it was a fine size for a two meal single guy recipe or two.
