    “RITCHIE!” Is it appropriate that this made me giggle? It is just so Brett, I couldn’t help myself. Knowing your dedication to high quality research, I have to say I really enjoyed this chapter learning about the life of an air force cadet. It was all very interesting. Oh, and the familial interactions were spot on, imo. Nicely done, Mr. Hazday.

    Mmmm... sounds delish.

    Sometimes, lessons need to be learned the hard way, because no matter how much we might want to be, we are not automatically wise about everything. And yes, I agree, you are lucky to have a wonderful soul named tim in your life. Of course, reading about someone else’s hard earned life lesson is a lesson learned for the rest of us as well. I appreciate you sharing this with the rest of us, Mike. Thank you

    Going back to their interactions with Ritch when he visited D.C. the winter before his parents’ death, I think Brett was more of an influence on than Cesar - remember the coat buying episode? I think the link to Brett was forged early on. with experiences enabling that link to grow stronger, imo.

    The interaction with the trooper was well done. Papa, Dad. You know I’m loving this development. A piece of paper sure wasn’t necessary to make it “real”. Oops, forgot the Cap reference early on. Nice inverted Easter egg, Mr. Hazday. Brett passing on to Ritch - oops, just about typed “Ritchie” - what he should expect being a cadet is priceless. I’m betting Brett loves being able to support Ritch this way.

    The things that can be found on the internet... 🙂

    Good for you, that’s an awesome achievement! As for this, file it under “crap happens” and realize it will be behind you soon enough. Take care, Solus.

    @Pup Cameron I love your comment because Melvyn Ford when it was part of Carlos’ prompt collection was why I registered. I needed to comment on this story. Be sure to check out the rest of Carlos’ stories, because they’re all really good , and I’m not just saying that because I’ve been his beta reader for almost five years. Reader

    Beats me, but they sure are cheerful.

    Morning all. I’ve been awake since at least 3 a.m. with the season’s first case of insomnia - oh joy. I finally gave up and got up at 4 after the birds’ choir practice began. *sigh* See you all laterz... Hope it’s a good one for you all.

    Good morning, Chris, it’s good to see you. As for the 4141 notifications? Yikes, that’s a lot of notifications.

    True, but the weather is fickle. Yesterday it was cold and windy. Today it was still windy, but it was also hot and humid with a high temp of 31C/87F. Luckily, it was mostly cloudy, because the sun would have had it feeling like it was much hotter.

    sweatshirts when it’s in the sixties? I’d be in -shirt. Just shows how differently we relate to the wether, eh? Heck, I’d be wearing a light jacket if I was going for a walk in the forties. PS: Have a great vacation!

    That’s what I call a happy accident.

    This guy is a new favourite of mine. He’s making ratatouille which I love, though though his roasted red pepper sauce w pasta is a close second.

    Forewarned is forearmed as the saying goes. Or did coconut not get that memo? 🤔
  17. Reader1810
    Yes, I do like coconut. My To try list is growing...
  18. Reader1810
    Good to know about the sweetness factor as it’s not something I’ve considered. I can find these at the grocer’s, but so far haven’t seen where the coconut oil is, and it doesn’t help when they decide it’s a good time to rearrange their shelves.
  19. Reader1810
    I just watched the video. Do you need to use coconut oil or can you substitute maple syrup? I’ve read a number of recipes that allow for this type of substitution, but the coconut oil has always been completely melted whereas, it still looks quite solid - though soft - in this video.
  20. Reader1810
    Oh, that sounds good.
  21. Reader1810
    Well then, you just know it’s on my “I have to try this” list.
  22. Reader1810
    Sounds right up my alley. Decadent, but with Mike in mind I’m sure it’s a healthier version then I am imaging it could be.

    Another thing I pondered is the strawberry filling could be good on toast. Probably need more chia seeds to increase its thickness though, and don’t make a full batch as it’s a lot. Edit: and the fruit could be different - blueberries for example - whatever you like best.
  24. Reader1810
    I’d agree with that assessment or even yogurt on top of the crumble, because it’s quite chunky. I went the “have it plain” route first, so I could determine its true “tasty” factor before adding to it. I have banana chocolate yogurt in the fridge (Oikos) so that will be a part of tomorrow’s breakfast.

    Okay, so yesterday I ranted about by new nemesis, Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. My solution to “the incident” was to dump it all in a storage container and stick it in the fridge. I have to say, chilled Strawberry Oatmeal crumble is delicious for breakfast. So yay for happy accidents.
