  • Sena Tries Miracle Whip on Braunschweiger!

    Sena Tries Miracle Whip on Braunschweiger!

    The other day, Sena suggested we have a soup and sandwich dinner. We both had a Braunschweiger sandwich on toasted bread, with onions—and Miracle Whip! Sena suggested the adding the onions and toasting the bread. She also decided to try the Miracle Whip spread. I chose the soup, which was so spicy we needed a…

  • Thoughts on Extraterrestrial TV Shows

    Thoughts on Extraterrestrial TV Shows

    A couple of nights ago, I watched a few TV shows on the Travel Channel about UFOs, extraterrestrial abductions, implants, and whatnot. I think there was some sort of marathon given that it was the Independence Day weekend. Anyway, I was surprised to see Marc D’Antonio on a show called Alien Invasion: Hudson Valley. The…

  • Braunschweiger and Miracle Whip Nostalgia Sandwich

    Braunschweiger and Miracle Whip Nostalgia Sandwich

    Sena bought two items at the grocery store that brought back memories: Braunschweiger and Miracle Whip. You may recall the Miracle Whip vs Mayonnaise challenge blog posts last August-September. Miracle Whip took a beating and it’s partly because I suspect the makers changed the recipe for it. I can’t change that. On the other hand,…

  • Learning to Let Go in Juggling

    Learning to Let Go in Juggling

    A couple of days ago, Sena asked me to watch her as she practiced the toss and catch in juggling 3 balls. She could do the one, two, three, catch pretty well but for some reason couldn’t let go of the ball in her left hand to move forward to the one, two, three, four…

    Pineapple Pizza Redo!

    Well, we tried pineapple pizza a couple of months ago and the other day we tried it again. This time, as promised, we tried the Lotzza Motzza version. We didn’t doc it up. We thought it would be the best. Neither of us were impressed. Sena says she wouldn’t try it again. Neither of us…

  • Video of the Raccoon in the Mulberry Tree

    Video of the Raccoon in the Mulberry Tree

    Sena said I should use the short video of that big raccoon I filmed in lumbering around and eating breakfast in our mulberry tree the other day. I didn’t include it in the original post, but when Sena and I looked at it together, she persuaded me that it was worth posting.

  • Mayo Wars

    Mayo Wars

    Okay, so it’s Mayo Wars again at our house evidently. Remember that challenge of Mayonnaise vs Miracle Whip Sena and I had a while ago? Well, now Sena is planning to make a Korean cheddar corn dish. It’s supposed to be made with Japanese mayo, which I gather refers to a product called Kewpie Mayonnaise.…

  • Move Your Way!

    Move Your Way!

    I saw the HHS Move Your Way campaign regarding the new strategy on encouraging older people to exercise, namely the Midcourse Report: Implementation Strategies for Older Adults. There are many ways to get and stay fit. We could all do better, including me. I exercise pretty much daily for about 30 minutes. Following that, I…
