I have a UNO addiction

UNO is the best, and all ages can play together. Just watch those tricksey youngsters. My granddaughters gave their mother all yellow cards once when she went out for a smoke break.

Has anybody ever HAD baked Alaska? I haven't but always want to taste it.

Nowadays "baked" has a whole different meaning in Alaska.

Greetings!
Another week slipped by when I was busy! Both does have had their kids and we now have hours of viewing entertainment, watching them be, well, baby goats.
We're in that special time of year where it freezes at night and thaws during the day, otherwise known hereabouts as breakup.
Glad you are all doing fairly well.

Morning

Mr.P saw his heart Doctor yesterday morning and all is well and good.
He says for us to continue what were doing because it's working so well.
In other words don't fix what's not broken.

 

[peach174]

I'm going for National Quirky Country song title day.

 

[Foxfyre]

For country fans (or non country fans), here's a fun little quiz for you on National Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day.

Quirky Country Music Song Titles: Can you pick which is real?

(I can't decide if I'm proud or embarrassed that I got most of them right.)

Hello, Drifter!
I'd have invited him over, but I'm a couple hundred miles south of FB. How'd he like it there? Was it his first visit to AK? What kind of work does he do? Some professions require lots of travel to keep the bills paid, like one friend, a geologist, is currently in CA for a job. He's not feeling the joy except he gets to take a pass on Breakup.

That doesn't look like any Spanish paella I've ever seen. I used to love eating paella when visiting Spain...way back in the day. Of course, there may be many possible regional variations, like some other international dishes.

No doubt. I just picked that one of out of many dozens of photos--all different--offered as it was one of the showiest.

Here's a 5-star recipe for one version of a traditional Spanish paella and it looks like it would probably produce something similar to that photo:
Traditional Spanish Paella

I hasten to add that I've never eaten a Spanish paella so far as I recall.

I would think ChrisL's bunny or the family dog would also work well.

 

[Foxfyre]

If any of you want an idea of what to get me for my birthday next year. . .

 

[peach174]

Morning everybody.

What ever the predator or predators were ,has moved on.
The dogs are barking again, along with the coyotes howling last night and medium size birds are back, feeding on the seed blocks.
Some think it might have been Mexican black wolves, they do come up here in our neck of the woods every once in a while.

You always wonder though don't you. Is it the most logical explanation? Or Bigfoot? Up on the mountain we could usually tell like from the 10" bear tracks in the front yard or whatever. Never had one try to get into the house though. Some folks did.

We were speculating maybe a skin walker.
Not enough water or food for a Bigfoot around here.

The paella I'm familiar with features shellfish and the shrimp still have their smiling faces attached, as well as two or more types of fish. That's why I observe that your photo may be a regional variation, or even an "Americanized" version because the shrimp are headed and shelled. Not to mention the chicken...

I've been trying to upload a video, or even a photo, of the new kids. I keep getting a notice that the files are too large. Any suggestions?
