Good to hear!
Thank you. And yes, the dishes were still there at 1am when I finally went to do them.

I just got back from Kroger for the third time in two days 
They have an unbelievable sale on red, yellow and orange bell peppers and I can't resist buying more and more! Eighty-eight cents each! I have five of each, plus several green peppers for 59 cents each. I'm going to roast and freeze some and dehydrate some. I want to use the dehydrated ones to make veggie cream cheese.
Btw, can you freeze veggie cream cheese?

It seems to be loosening up. I spent the day watching dvr'd House episodes. Seems apropos on a sick day.

Argh, forgot the photo! All this for about $10! :woot2:I just got back from Kroger for the third time in two days

How do you use the dehydrated ones?
I freeze cream cheese all the time. I would hazard a guess that depending on the ratio of peppers to cream cheese as to the success of freezing it.
When I freeze sweet peppers, I chop them fine, bag them. Although I imagine they might be a little watery frozen into cream cheese.
Just don't rush it Vinylhanger, relax some more... or you just might end up cursing yourself..

Boy will I crash tomorrow. I have been up all yesterday and tonight. Been listening to You Tube of the Vienna Boys Choir and Aksel Rykkvin all night. I have a ton of dishes I washed yesterday, Now they have to be put away. Not my favorite chore. I have to get the stool to reach the second shelves.

Had my 18 year old (Kenton) help clean out part of the chicken coop this evening. I don't know what he did but my big Rode Island Red rooster didn't like it and took after him. Good thing 3 Year old Jasper was there. He heard the commotion and come around the corner. Rooster seen him and ran off. So he will go after a 18 year old 6 ft tall teenager but runs from a 3 ft tall 3 Year old. I don't get it. At least I don't have to worry about him getting attacked.

Roosters don't need a reason for attacking. Just ask CWS. She had a choice of making her rooster ready for the Sunday pot or find him a good home. She chose the latter. He went to a farm nearby and had a flock of new girls to make out with. He probably backed off when he saw two there he would have to fight.
Over the years, I've had several encounters with lake/pond dwelling geese and some swans. They can be downright mean. But, their beaks are not that strong, and they don't have teeth, so they can't really do much damage.
I encountered one particularly mean black swan during a photoshoot at a winery in central Texas. It charged me, so I kept my bare arms and hands out of reach, and it attacked my legs, which were covered in some Wrangler denim. I turned and walked away, laughing, and it gave up on me before long. I snapped a few pictures. I'll see if I can find them.

A swan broke the front tire of my bike and the same bloody swan fractured my friends ribs and arms... Yeah, nice of them of building a nest right at the short cut to school, only way around took 40 min extra and when been on a bike for 30 minutes and are 10 minutes from school you are not that happy about it.

Every year in the Boston Public Gardens, there is a man who lives in Maine and has a flock of swans with clipped wings. He brings them to Boston for tourists to see them as they take a ride on the swan boats. They are warned to not try to pet them. Of course there is always one idiot who tries to do just that. The may look beautiful, but they have a nasty disposition. One year someone shot one of them late at night. So now the Gardens have a security person that keeps an eye on them.
Swans mate for life. Unfortunately this female swan had to be returned to Maine mateless.

Did you get the dishes all put away? That is my second least favorite chore. Least favorite would have to be cleaning the bathroom.

Yesterday I flew a cancer patient home after his chemo. Nice guy, and we have flown him before. The destination airport was very busy and there were low clouds all around. Just as I was about to land, the tower told me "Minimum time on the runway", because there was a jet behind us.
After we got stopped by the drop off point, the passenger thanked us, and said, "Most times this flight is boring, but not today"

May all your flights be boring...

Nope, I just left them there for Pirate to put away. He is tall enough and besides he is the one who dirtied them all. My least favorite thing to do is wash pots and pans. I don't mind cleaning the house in general. Not even the bathroom. My bathroom is small and it is easy. I made sure I have all the equipment and cleaning stuff to make the work much easier. Oven cleaner does a great job on just about every hard surface. Even the bathtub. It's not just for the oven anymore.

Pirate is on a cleaning binge. Far be it from me to stop him. Mopping all the floors, cleaned the whole kitchen. Even wiped off any sugar on the counter tops. That drives me up the wall. When I walk out the kitchen, I run my hand across the long counter. If I feel one grain of sugar on it, I have to go back and wipe it off with a sponge. He even really cleaned the bathroom. And the whole mirror. I can never reach the top, so I just go up as far as I can reach, and leave the rest. I don't use the top half, so I don't care.
In the meantime while he is going crazy cleaning, I am sitting here listening to ABBA and shutting out the world. A such is the life.

Time to log out, shut down the computer, and go get myself ready for my Date Night tonight. The play doesn't start until 7:30, but I need a lot of time to look "pretty".

Jasper chases him all over the farm. I don't know what it about that kid but they run when he is around. That just makes him chase them more.
