WIKI HOW JUST COMPLICATES THINGS

SORRY....I THOUGHT WE WOULD GET THROUGH WITH THE PICS ALL IN THE RIGHT PLACE.  CLEARLY NOT.  MYLES WITH LEELOO

SUNSET

 Jeez!  I have a bunch of pretty good sized beets.  Last night I decided to get them cooked.  I like a big fat slice of beet instead of a burger patty in my hamburgers.  So I put them on to boil at around six.  I forgot them.  In a panic at about eight we dashed out there and drained them and....they were still hard as rocks!  How does that happen.  Three hours?  

So this morning when I got up pretty early, I put them back on the boil.  It is now three thirty and they are still too hard.  So I wiki howed it.

Now its pretty simple, boiling beets.  You dump them into a pot.  Add hot water to cover.  Put on a lid.  Turn on the element.  Let it boil until soft.  But wiki said...boiled beets in fifteen steps.  FIFTEEN!!!????  Are you kidding?  Jeez Louise...how to complicate a simple thing!  

It is very good to be home.  I have missed Monte, Peter is here!!, my house was in mint clean condition.  I was pretty happy to get here.

The trip home was pretty easy.  I got the ferry in a timely fashion.  It was packed.  I stayed in the truck. Then I met the boys in Nanaimo at a fabulous Italian restaurant and we had an awesome lunch.  Peter and I shared a veggie burger.  I shared one with Arnie in Vancouver at Cactus Club and it was amazing and more importantly, it was enough.  An eye opener!  So

ARYN, MY BROTHER AND ARYN'S BRADLEYBE. HE IS A PHENOMENAL DJ

Peter very kindly offered or agreed to split a veggie burger with me.  It's just the exact perfect amount of food!  I have never ever liked sharing.  But then I end up taking food home...not because I want it, I never eat taken home food, but I don't want to insult the restaurant.

It was so good to get home.  But I still haven't unloaded my truck.  There isn't any fresh food out there to worry about.  I don't know what happened to  all the cooler food.  One minute it was full and the next it was empty!  Hahaha!!!  Evacuation wreaks havoc!

So I shall post a bunch of pics down below, at least I will try.  Then I am going to make dinner and bake the challah Peter and I made and take those stupid beets off, cooked or not.  They are just so hard to peel when they aren't cooked enough.  Life is tough!

Stay safe, noodle, oldster...TTYL
