It’s OK To

To be weird
To be uncool
To be yourself

To tell dumb jokes
To make believe
To play like a kid

To do good things
To believe in the unexpected
To love fiercely

To die unto self
To have mercy
To be kind

To be smart
To be on the fringes
To be genuine

To unite your home
To face your fears
To take the long way home

It’s OK to do other things too

Music Monday – Thompson Twins: Hold Me Now

My friends I present to you from 1983  Thompson Twins “Hold Me Now”. This was a big hit back in the day. Boy this takes me back to when life was simpler and I was a teenager.

It’s Monday, Where did the weekend go?

Hey the weekend was just here and now it’s gone? Where did it go? Have you seen it? I guess most of us have begun a new week and there are lots of new challenges and a whole bunch of mystery ahead.

My friends, make it great today, or something like that. Rock on!

Bubble and Squeak

Our dinner tonight. A yummy concoction of sausage, cabbage, potatoes and onions. It’s delicious and easy.

This is a traditional British dish, adapted for oven. The minimal simple ingredients work well together to season each other.

  • 1 small head cabbage
  • Splash of vegetable or olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Rough cut potatoes, sausages, onion, and cabbage. Brush bottom of Dutch oven or large covered baker with oil. Layer potatoes on bottom and season liberally; top with sausage, then onion, finishing with cabbage (arranging carefully to allow for lid). Add more seasoning; cube butter and distribute evenly on top. Cover and bake at 375 for 90 minutes. Test vegetables for doneness (the skillet version of this dish is more of a hash than a casserole).

A New Phone, Sort Of

This evening I am doing a factory reset of my Samsung Galaxy 5s. When you do this it means deleting your downloaded apps and having to reinstall them. Any non synched data is usually wiped out too. Mobile phones are computers that need to be cleaned periodically and this is an extreme way of doing that. Tonight I hope to have everything back to normal or perhaps better than before. I hope everything goes well though.
