Today's #MatchdayMugshot! 8 is my favorite number, I hope Ali defends our goal like he's got 8 arms! Since we don't have our number 8, I'm hoping his spirit & legs infect the rest of the lads. Let's take it to Mancheater City!! 💪🏻🔴 #LFG LFC!! #LIVMCI #YNWA

It is known that I like a breakfast sandwich, I like making them almost as much as I like eating them. Today’s was a belter. Fried egg on gluten free toasted bread with kewpie mayo, a little garlic yogurt mayo sauce, chunky bits of last nights pork tenderloin, and Trader Joe’s hot/sweet jalapeños.

Channeling my inner @lpoolmike.bsky.social and sharing my prep & recipe - but all in the same photo! Labor Day here in the States so it's pollo asado time. Smells good during prep, even better when it hits the grill. If you try it, let me know what you think! 😄 🍽️ Recipe text in alt:

Photo of slices of chicken breast marinating in a clear glass bowl on top of a tile counter next to a sheet of paper with the marinade recipe. The paper reads:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients:
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 Lime
2 tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients and mix well. This marinade works best if it is made a day in advance so the flavors can blend. Marinate beef, Lamb
and pork for about 6 hours, poultry for 4 hours and fish for 1 hour.

I didn't intentionally wait until lunchtime to have breakfast, but I have to say, it worked out for me. 😎 Breakfast sandwich w/fried eggs on Kroger Simple Truth gluten-free bread with Duke's mayo, Trader Joe's sweet & hot jalapeños, bacon, & cheddar. I should start a breakfast sandwich food truck.

Photo of a stacked breakfast sandwich, open-faced at the moment, on a white plate. Visible on the sandwich: Duke's mayonnaise, bacon, cheddar cheese, fried eggs, sliced jalapeños. The top slice of bread is in the background.

New book club book arrived! On the Calculation of Volume I by Solvej Balle. I'd not heard of the series until this year and I'm so very intrigued! #UntitledCalculationClub (? 😄)

A paperback book titled "On the Calculation of Volume I: A Novel" by Solvej Balle, translated by Barbara Haveland, rests on a laptop lid covered in various stickers. The lime green cover features a large oval with a soft, blurred gradient of red, yellow, blue, and purple at its center. A blurb from Karl Ove Knausgård reads "Absolutely, absolutely incredible."

I think the first CD I owned was Surfer Rosa/Come On Pilgrim. "Gigantic" was all over 91X in my first semester in college (fall '88) & I wanted to be able to hear it whenever I wanted…even though I didn't have a CD player. 😂 And I just happened to stumble upon the defining sound of the next decade.

Photo of the cover art for Pixies album which combined the Surfer Rosa LP and the debut mini-album Come On Pilgrim on one compact disc. The cover art features a stylized typeface of the band name in a white area on the left side of the cover, with a framed sepia-toned photo on the right depicting a topless woman in what appears to be a flamenco-type skirt standing in front of a wall with a Christian cross in the lighter upper third of the wall, with a 12-string guitar headstock coming out of the darker lower two-thirds of the wall below the cross.

So, I saw this graphic a few years back and was FLOORED by the gap between Brits & U.S. people on if they think they can take a goose in a fight. 😂 The whole thing speaks of the delusion of U.S. superiority but the "goose gap" just makes me laugh. 🤣

Today's #MatchdayMugshot. No injuries, please. A win would be fine, but let's just stay healthy going into the season. 🤞🏻

In the soft-focus background, a small teabag plush toy sits beside a dark wooden display shelf holding several colorful souvenir mugs.

"Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transiency, we suffer. So the cause of suffering is our non-acceptance of this truth."

Photo from Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki, published in 1970. The text on the page reads:

TRANSIENCY "We should find perfect existence through imperfect existence.”

The basic teaching of Buddhism is the teaching of transiency, or change. That everything changes is the basic truth for each existence. No one can deny this truth, and all the teaching of Buddhism is condensed within it. This is the teaching for all of us. Wherever we go this teaching is true. This teaching is also understood as the teaching of selflessness. Because each existence is in constant change, there is no abiding self. In fact, the self-nature of each existence is nothing but change itself, the self-nature of all existence. There is no special, separate self-nature for each existence. This is also called the teaching of Nirvana. When we realize the everlasting truth of "everything changes" and find our composure in it, we find ourselves in Nirvana.

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transiency, we suffer. So the cause of suffering is our non-acceptance of this truth. The teaching of the cause of suffering and the teaching that everything changes are thus two sides of one coin. But subjectively, transiency is the cause of our suffering. Objectively this teaching is simply the basic truth that everything changes. Dogen-zenji said, "Teaching which does not sound as if it is forcing something on you is not true teaching."

Called ourselves the Foster Brothers - Mitch & Sonny. I believe this was taken at the comp release party, we fancied these would be press photos someday. 😂 That's outside the apartment I lived in 1994 & Mike lived at the time - 11345 San Pablo Ave.

Today's #MatchdayMugshot - It's Beach Week here Chez Soda & today's beach mug is Florida! Same coast as New York anyway. 😄 #LFC Up the Reds!!

Photo of a white ceramic mug illustrated with Florida-themed drawings in a hand-drawn style.

The text "FLORIDA" appears near the top in large illustrated sans-serif capital letters outlined in dark green with pink fill. Below it, "the SUNSHINE state" is written in smaller dark green mixed-case lettering with decorative arrow flourishes. The illustrations visible on this side include palm trees, a white magnolia-style flower with large green leaves, a beach scene in a circular rope-bordered vignette showing beach chairs and a pink umbrella, an alligator in dark green, a pink star, what appears to be a lighthouse or historic building, and an orange with a leaf. The overall palette is white, dark green, light green, and pink.

The mug sits on a white tile countertop. In the background is the dark wooden shelf holding other souvenir mugs, a red textured wall, the JellyCat teabag plush, and decorative blue and rust tile trim.
