Godzilla is the king of the monsters for a reason.  Reptoids just win 

And he makes a yummy sushi roll.

Hey, bro.   

[dughlas]

It's a dreary day. Overcast and chilly. The real cold is due to arrive later this evening. The forecast from now until when we leave next Friday is for well below normal temps for this time of year. Mum is ready to go home, both her knees and my head are aching. To help cope with the cold I made a pumpkin custard bread pudding for dessert tonight and a pot of beef vegetable soup for tomorrow night's meal. Tonight we're having baked crabcakes, roasted baby sweet potatoes and seasonal veggies.

A lot of people don’t know about this because Godzilla’s skills as a sushi chef have gone very underrepresented in his films.

Good evening, all.      The current temperature is 28 F/-2.2 C, with a predicted 6 inches of snow in tonight's forecast. For dinner, there will be a spinach-and-artichoke "Alfredo" pizza topped with roasted garlic, crispy Pancetta, and fresh baby spinach leaves.

Hmm that could take awhile, you mind sitting still?

 

All for you stud muffin. You’re Canadian, so keeping you warm would be a full-time job.

Hey Pagey Your pizza sounds nice (thought I'll take off all those greenery things *shudders*). I ordered one too tonight from Domino's but it wasn't exceptional. But the fridge is totally empty and I didn't see the point in going grocery shopping when I'll be gone tomorrow morning and won't be back until late Monday (and I was lady but hush).

We're having a warm Autumn so far. Not much rain and temps in the 12-15°C. The weather channel showed snow for the next couple of days in the mountains starting at 1000 meters of altitude.

@Albert1434 is that you who knows a things or two about orchids? 🤔

In other news, I saw a bald eagle on my way to work, this morning. It was flying out of a white curtain of snow over Boardman Lake.

A semi truck caught fire on the road, shutting down the highway near Battle Creek. I guess those corn flakes got extra crispy.  😀

Today its 77F/25C Where in the 7 hells is my share of the snow and rain 

[Albert1434]

Sorry to hear that, Bertie.     You guys need the snow for the ski season, if I remember correctly?

[Albert1434]

That and for water 

[Albert1434]

So what is your question Clo ?

[Albert1434]

We have the back door open and the windows as well sigh

Here's my problem: mom bought me a mini 2 branches orchid about 3 months ago. It was doing well so far until I came back Monday when I found one of the brand has turned yellowish/brownish and all the flowers of this branch are dry. I'm being very careful with watering, only putting it in a bit of water for a couple of minutes when the soil is all dry. Same thing with light, lot of light but not directly so it's on a shelf in the kitchen.

I'm afraid the damages were done next week when I was gone and had turn the heating down to 15°C thought there was still light.

The blooms don't last forever Clo you want to water once a week and get it good and wet and let it dry out till the next watering you can spary with water but you want it to be dry by the 

end of the day

So so far I seems to do good with the watering. What's bothering me is that only 1 of the branch seems to be dying... The other looks good and green with perfect flowers

[clochette]

Maybe it's just supposed to die as it's from Lidl and not a real flower shop
