County fairs allow us all to get a one day pass on our otherwise healthy diets. (Another corn dog? Oh heck yeah!) 🌽🐶

And thank YOU, Laura! The only gotcha I found was that putting uncooked rice into the mix to be baked resulted in rice that was a bit al dente. If you like it that way then no worries.

I got the recipe from the old Victory Garden Cookbook, which I believe was published in the 1980s. I no longer have the book, unfortunately, so Google may be our only hope. 🙁

Laura, have you ever made pumpkin soup using a large pumpkin as the cooking pot? Very yummy, plus you get to scrape out pumpkin as you serve it. 🎃

Also, riding a horse does not count as “steps”, even if your smart watch thinks so. 🐴

And don’t forget Frank Zappa or Emerson, Lake, and Palmer (although Zappa definitely doesn’t fall into the “big pop” category).

It’s interesting how da blues can make us feel sad but that a blue sky is one of the most uplifting sights I can think of.

*Adds “relax” to his long todo list* Just kidding. The only thing on that list is “wake up”.

I had tears in my eyes back then in the theater and I still react that way when I watch it again.

I have missed actually *reading* a shameful number of those books, but in my defense they’re on my Kindle. I’ll get to them. Someday. 📚

Can we really trust AI checkers that are themselves AI? At any rate, even if the picture is fake, the colors are pretty believable for a Vermont autumn.
