  • Wormhole Vortex Portal at Skinwalker Ranch!

    Wormhole Vortex Portal at Skinwalker Ranch!

    I watched The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch the other night and the investigators got really excited over seeing what they called a wormhole portal in the Triangle area of the ranch. Somehow, it was detected by LiDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging. It measures distance using light instead of sound like radar does.…

  • Beat the Heat with Cold Snap and Common Sense

    Beat the Heat with Cold Snap and Common Sense

    Sena likes to be out in the garden no matter how blisteringly hot it is. A few days ago, she was planting some yellow coreopsis and lantana, whatever that is. It was 82 degrees and with the heat index (about 60% humidity), it felt like 86 degrees. Later in mid-afternoon it rose to 95 degrees…

  • Maybe I Should Be More Optimistic About Humans

    Maybe I Should Be More Optimistic About Humans

    I read the Psychiatric Times article “How Psychiatry Has Enriched My Life: A Journey Beyond Expectations” by Victor Ajluni, MD and published on July 4, 2023. It was like a breath of fresh air to read an expression of gratitude. Just about everything I read in the news is negative. At the end of the…

  • Extraterrestrial Grade Kewpie Mayo Corn Dish!

    Extraterrestrial Grade Kewpie Mayo Corn Dish!

    Sena made a Korean Corn Bake with Kewpie Mayo. There’s a spice in it that makes it special. On the label, it just says “spice.” One web article says the secret ingredient is monosodium glutamate (MSG). The author goes on at length to assure that MSG is safe. I guess it has gotten a bad…

  • The Square Dude with the Circle Beard Returns

    The Square Dude with the Circle Beard Returns

    Well, I decided it was time to return to the circle beard after over 6 months of struggling to grow a full beard. I have too many potholes. I think it takes as much time and trouble to have a beard as it does to shave every day. I found a web site about how…

  • Mayo Taste Test!

    Mayo Taste Test!

    Big day of mayo taste testing yesterday. We broke out the Kewpie Mayo, Duke’s Mayo, and Miracle Whip. Actually, we got the two mayonnaise brands out for dishes Sena had planned. We got the Miracle Whip out just to compare the taste of all three. I thought the Miracle Whip was tangy. Sena actually thought…

  • 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,…

  • Pineapple Pizza Redo!

    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…
