What Made You Happy Today?

I think it is giving more context - the whole paragraph the sentence is in, instead of just the sentence.

I could be wrong, though.

I took some of my over abundance of zucchini and did a successful experiment.

I took some shredded zucchini, added a bit of egg start (whites only), a bit of flour, salt, and pepper, then threw it all into a frying pan. So, what do I call it? Zucchini pancake? Hash brown zucchini?

From yesterday, but still makes me happy today.

A card from the 7 year old.

ā€œHappy Fathers Dayā€ on the outside then,

Roses are red,
I love you,
Sugar is Pink.

With a heart at the bottom. It cracks me up every time I see it or think of it.

Zucchini fritata? :smiley:

Nice, but not nearly enough egg for fritata. It was about 80% zucchini, with just enough flour and egg to hold it together. I’m kind of leaning towards hashed brown zucchini. It’s consistency was kind of like hashed brown potatoes. I’ll have to post a picture of it the next time I make it.

Damn it… Now you’re making me hungry.

My scale and I are currently friends. Today anyway. We will see what tomorrow brings.

And it’s the semi-annual sale at Victoria’s Secret, so…

I was able to write a CASE statement in SQL including a CONVERT statement for a date off the top of my head without having to refer back to another query to know what I was doing.

These days the small victories make happy. :smile:

I’m making Chinese chicken salad. I shredded and started the chicken marinating this morning. The lettuce and snow peas are from my garden. Yum.

I had my second archery lesson yesterday. I’m now bitten by the archery bug.

Archery is fun. I used to do it, until a lack of free time (and competent clubs locally at that time) stopped me. Havok Jr has tried it and enjoyed it, so once he’s old enough for the local clubs we’ll be going back.

Paper wrapped chicken, rice and simmered daikon for dinner tonight. I wrap the chicken and green onions in phyllo dough instead of foil. That way you don’t have to unwrap it to eat it!

My ā€œproblemā€ is going to be finding a bow that I can carry whilst riding a motorbike. Not having a car can be a pain at times.

That’ll look good on the police report :wink:

Hadn’t thought about it that way.

Hopefully they won’t ban archery, the way they have banned crossbows. (And swords, and carrying pocket knives in public places, and everything else they’ve tried to stop.)

I used to carry a pretty aggressive looking pocket knife. 2.5 inch blade, serrated on half, nice sharp point, all ruggedized and tacticool. And then I was opening a box with it and noticed I was getting a couple deer in the headlights stares. So now I carry my 2 inch crkt, with no serrations.

Silly thing is A: It’s no less dangerous than the scary looking one B: My scissors could be a better choice for hurting someone, and C: If I really wanted to rampage through the office I’d make a couple IEDs and bring a gun, not a pocket knife.

Not that I could ever see a scenario where I would want to rampage through anywhere. Even if I were to totally flip off my rocker I would hope that my internal compass would at least point me straight to suicide by cop the short way.

You need a takedown bow - something like this:

Or whatever that dude in The Avengers used.

I’m sure those are totally reasonably priced.

That sounds delicious, @Nabiki But you lost me at daikon. :slight_smile:

@Woodman: You mean you wouldn’t stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-15 semiautomatic carbine? /Fight Club reference

You’ve probably never had daikon simmered for an hour in a sauce of pork, ginger, sake, mirin, and soy sauce. It becomes very mild and tasty. :wink:
