What's on your (PHOTO) Friday Menu?
Yikes, I don't think that I could last 2 hours without a bathroom break.

I grew up in Poland so I was born catholic. And I will die as one. Polish and Catholic. Part of a heritage. But I don't go to church, unless I travel and then I go to admire the historic churches, and pray and give donations. Good enough.
I really don't care about the catholic churches in my area. My polish friends started going and they were trying to convince me to go. I told them that we can talk about that after they would be going there for 3 months. They stopped going there after 2 months... ![]()

If those churches had a festival, I would go to eat Polish Church Lady food in a heartbeat.

I can cook polish food and I know places where to buy real polish food. Plus my food limitations - what I can eat - only makes it difficult for me to see things I LOVE and can't eat them. I know Keith likes polish food so I cook some for him, or buy I for him.
I used to have a very good polish friends here, but some moved away, others - our contact got lose during covid. They had a lots of food every time we vent to visit. Keith loved it - I ... loved it, but couldn't eat most of it. Very frustrating.

It's good of you to go to this retreat when it sounds so...appealing. you're a good friend!
I also made an account at ssa.gov the other week! It was just a great reminder that by the time I retire, I'll get 80% of planned benefits if laws are not updated. Whew!

That meme is too funny. Did you purchase any cookie cutters or just get some new ideas of ones to make with your printer? I haven't purchased any wood in a while is it still crazy expensive? I remember that the prices of wood like doubled or tripled last year. BTW-that bacon looks perfectly cooked. I like mine crispy.
Weekend plans are not very busy. I will be doing an inversion workshop at the yoga studio tomorrow. It is a 2-hour workshop plus wine tasting after. I am not much of a wine drinker as I don't really appreciate the taste. Please cover the taste of alcohol with something yummy tasting. I much prefer a fruity mixed drink to beer and wine, but it is a community building event so I will stick around for the wine tasting. I will do my 3rd (a final weekly) weight workout before the inversion workshop. I need to make-up a day of yoga for my 30 workouts in 30 days so Sunday I will do a double workout to make-up for the day missed on DH's bday. Other than that, not much planned. I wouldn't mind going to a movie. N. Night Shyamalan's new one A Knock on the Cabin is out this weekend so maybe that. I really should use the ski pass I purchased last season and start skiing this season..
QOTD: Got to think on this one...
Accountability: excellent
same meals today as yesterday
E: 60 min yoga
I have no new pictures to post.

I got a few cookie cutters - just ones that were kind of intricate and hard to design. And yes the price of lumber is back down to normal-ish prices. This place is cool because they have a lot of exotic wood, so we had a lot to look at. I feel so badly for the guys who work in that warehouse. It's open on both sides and like a wind tunnel on a good day. Today the temps in NH are the same as us, maybe colder, and the guys working there said there would be no change to their schedule! They need a better HR department, lol.
