Finally Friday's Menu

Good Friday morning everyone. I have a half day at work today, so I have to make sure I get everything done before I leave at noon.

Any plans for the weekend? My husband wants to watch the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight tonight on Netflix. I think Mike is just doing it for some extra cash. Yet he does look pretty good for 58.

The weather looks to be in the 60's so I might do something outside around the house.

QOTD: Does anyone do weekly meal prepping on the weekends? That is one thing for the most part that I still do. Every now and again I'll make something different during the week, but most everything has already been made or planned out each weekend. For me it makes things easier during week when I get home from work.

B: coffee and protein shake

L: TBD

D: baked haddock with sweet potato fries

Have a wonderful Friday!!!

Good mornin y'all.

Meeting my aunt today for lunch and a thrift store run. We'll also be going to the new home goods store. I would like to stay home but it's good for me to get out.

PT is going so so, no improvement really but it's at least not getting worse anymore, they are thinking it's a rotator cuff issue. The referral only mentioned my neck so there isn't much they can do for it per se other than to strengthen the neck area. I'm a little dismayed but it is what it is. Since I can't get an mri here in town I may have to end up going to Lubbock for one if need be.

QOTD: no real meal prep here, though I should.

b: eggs, cheese and coffee

L: most likely a salad

D: ????

a cardinal and a blue jay in our front yard. The zoom was maxed out.

Hi gang. Happy Friday! Though, it really doesn't have a lot of meaning for me. We really don't have much going on this weekend. JB has class prep, and she might have her BFF over. And we've got Thanksgiving planning, in a big way. We've got at least 24 people here for dinner, so we need to figure stuff out.

QOTD: I've never done weekly -- or daily -- meal prep. But my meals are pretty basic. I often have sausages in the morning. Open the bag, put 8 sausages in the airfrier, and boom, meal prep done. I had cheeseburgers twice yesterday. Patty, cheese, done. It works for me.

Have a great weekend all.

It is rainy and cold here and will stay around 50 and wet for the next few days. Good weather to stay inside and get things done. I am cleaning and organzing. It is so good to get rid of things that I think I need and then ended up just being clutter.

I love haddock and rarely can find it here. Do you buy it frozen and thaw it? We used to have a fish market and I would buy it there. I ordered Wild Alaska last year and their fish was all excellent. Frozen in individual portions and really good. I probably should do that again.

Tyson had a home close to where I live. He lived in a 13,500 foot mansion and paid local people really huge salaries when they worked for him. It was back in the 1980's and he had this wild-haired promotor named Don King who was a big celebrity back then. Tyson lost most of his money after the ear biting incident and the deserted mansion belongs to a church now.

Tyson was a troubled youth from New York who made it to the big time, but inside still a very troubled teenager. I thought he was older than 58. He had a beautiful wife back then that divorced him due to him abusing her.

QOTD: I have never done meal prep, so decide what to eat each day. It is just me, so nobody else is going to be disappointed by what I fix. And I have been used meal delivery way too much since COVID. I am planning to stop doing that and fix food myself.

All the seafood I get is fresh. I have some really good fish markets around me and we have fish at least once a week if not more. In the Summer we eat a lot more seafood especially if we get out to go fishing in the sound.

Tyson has led a very interesting life. You're right about the ups and downs. From troubled youth to Gus finding him as a teenager and being his father figure until he went pro. Once the predator promotor, Don King, had his hooks in his money, he was doomed to be penniless and thrown away when the well was dry. He spent lavishly, tigers and other exotic wildlife, overextended himself and was paycheck to paycheck. His paychecks were Hugungous still. He was then convicted of rape and spent 1+ year in prison. He was treated like a king in prison by the shot callers and COs. After prison, it took a minute for another right to develop. He started fighting unknowns way below hi*****hing weight. Then came Evander Holyfield and eating his ear for lunch. Fast forward and he was never in the same physical condition. After years, he got sober and started pursuing other business ventures. His ability and earning power were greatly diminished. He did a one man Broadway show. He started a cannabis company. He created his own designer line of weed. He owns weed farms. He gives back to the community. He mentors. He's a Buddhist. Family and spirituality are now #1 in his life.

He's still a killer. After Jake Paul talked trash, Tyson was Travis's saying Paul is a manufactured killer. Tyson said he's a natural born killer...

I never paid much attention to him after he left here. What a crazy life. Wild animals used to be pretty common in Ohio. They changed the laws about 10 years ago, but before that there were a lot of people with exotic animals in Ohio. Often they were pretty neglected, with fleas and other problems. Every once in a while, one would escape and usually end up being shot. People kept them in cages and sometimes got pretty careless.

In 2011 an exotic animal owner let 58 animals loose and then killed himself. The lions, tigers, bears, giraffes and wolves were all captured or killed in the next day. After that incident Ohio made some strict laws about keeping exotic animals.

Tyson was once very skilled. But 58 years old is still 30 years older than Jake Paul. Old is old.

Morning all and it's Friday!

It's also known as gotcha day in my household. I'm picking up my new dog at noon from the shelter. I'm so excited to incorporate him into my life.

I also got the DMV new car license plate situation resolved, for now. I spent 3 unnecessary visits to the DMV, waited 2 hours in wrong lines that I was directed to, one unnecessary doctors visit when I didn't need al another doctor disabled certification, one $316 check that wasn't needed, a check for a $2300 taxes that was already paidone hours long phone call to the main DMV in Springfield, holding to my guns and addressing inconsistency of directive from employee to employee,at least 8 angry DMV employees, and a partridge and a pear tree. So glad to have accomplished my goal.

My clubs anniversary dinner is tomorrow so I currently have 216 drinks in my back seat.

QOTD- no meal prep on the weekend. However, each time I eat out, I meal prep the leftovers for a future meal.

B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt.

L: grilled octopus, &evoo, lemon, salad.

D: baby back ribs and green beans.

I got pulled over once in a car that was only three weeks old. The cop was super suspicious. He finally came back and said the plate didn't match the registration. Apparently they got one of the digits wrong. I had to go back and get a new registration. PITA
