I tried dandelion leaves. Supposedly it’s a very nutritious plant and it’s entirely edible. So I picked some leaves from the backyard, it’s untreated and there is plenty of tender looking dandelion leaves to choose from. I ate one raw. I then picked a few more, enough for a few bites. I washed them off and mixed them with a little olive oil, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese. They have a very leafy green taste to them as you can imagine. Definitely a vegetable taste. There is also a slight bitterness. It wasn’t awful but I can’t see myself regularly having a dandelion salad either.

We used to pick them from the yard quite often. A tad bitter but pretty tasty prepared with oil, garlic and pepper flakes.

who hasn’t, as a child, blown on a dandelion’s silky seeds and watched them float off into the breeze? for the plant itself, the ancient greek name taraxacum means “cure for eye infections”. a member of the aster family, the plant was, and still is, known for treating occular inflamations. english adopted “dandelion” from the less common french term “dent-dion” (lion’s tooth). with over 1200 varieties throughout europe alone and some 50 varieties in france, the dandelion, more commonly known as “pissenlit” (pee-in-bed) because of its natural cleansing qualities, is as symbolic in france to the month of february, as a swallow is to the coming of spring.

Wife texted me last night around 11:30 that our AC wasn't cooling. I put in a request with American Home Shield asap. Got home at 3am and the house was 86 degrees.
Had to keep nagging the dispatcher this morning to get here today instead of Monday. Temp was 90 degrees in the house when we left. Car AC and coffee shops were the better alternative. Looked like time to start looking for airbnbs.
Feel like my wife and I could have toughed it out, but our kid is still getting over flu.
Repairman came out around noon and replaced a capacitor.
Been waiting for the house to cool down since noon. It's still 78 in here but the vents are blowing cold.
Thank god for home warranty. I think all three of us want to kill each other, and yet the dog just been blissfully wagging his tail this whole time.

On top of that it's been rollercoaster doctors trips for the kiddo the last ten days, job interview stress for my wife and probable undiagnosed flu for me. What a week for the fucking books.
Sorry if I have been rude, antogonistic or just plain braindead on RM during it all. This place truly is an outlet.

I’m wrapping up a day that’s similar to Reid’s, just a giant pain in the ass. But he’s had multiples days like this in a row, so I’ll spare the details.

This is quite the happy way to end my time at this place. Sorry Spenno.
Congrats 'sleep.
Happy days indeed! I personally am very proud of our (WA's) 10% swing away from the Libs. I will never forget or forgive Scott Engadine Macca's Morrison jumping on Fucky McFuckface's bandwagon in attempting to sue us for $50bn.
How the fuck does a sitting PM support a private citizen in his bid to sue one of his own states???

Sorry Reid. Hoping your Sunday is better.
Share away if you want. This is the place. Hope your day gets a little better tomorrow too.
Or I hope at least that doug shares whatever the tragabigzanda road equivalent of Astros ephemera is with you.

did the most dad thing i could think of today. ran to lowes for supplies to do a deep clean of our grill. i think we've owned it as long as we've been in this house...at least four years, and i've only brushed the grates.
i watched a handful of youtube vids to see how it's done, and all of them said it takes about two hours from start to finish. i think it took four hours. i listened to wilco while cleaning, adding to the dad vibes. when i finally finished i reseasoned the grates. now i'm on a mission to find a stainless steel griddle to try my hand a Smashburger summer.
i hope things improve for trag and Reid.

Gotta be honest with ya, dad, I can very much see childless guys doing this.

hang in there, fellas. smoother roads ahead.
Thanks spike and dad and Reid.
One of the best parts about being a dad is that there’s just no time to harbor resentments. That shit was yesterday; may as well be ten years ago. Shaping up to be a great Sunday here.
