Miscellaneous Ramblings

Some entertaining dregs and vestiges to brighten up the day…

According to my Farmer’s Almanac, the earth was the farthest away from the sun the other day. Aphelion, I believe it’s called. We will be moving closer to the sun until we reach Perihelion sometime in early January. According to the Almanac, at Aphelion, the sun appears 7% less bright than it does at Perihelion. On the same day, the freshness date on my favorite cola-flavored drink expired. I wonder if the tastiness of that drink will be 7% less tasty than it was on the day before it expired. Not going to name the drink.

Here’s an interesting tidbit – Pepsi Cola and Episcopal are anagrams. Who knew?

When I feed the cat, the cat refuses to eat until I feed a portion of her food to the dog. Maybe she thinks I am going to poison her and wants the dog to act as a guinea pig.

The city of Princeton Texas is getting a lagoon. It will be part of a development on a Farm Market road to the north of the city.

Woot!

Somehow I am skeptical about this lagoon. The city appears to be having problems maintaining the infrastructure it has to accommodate what was scheduled to be built before this lagoon popped up. There are streets in dire need of repair here. A fellow could be deep in debt to a tire shop before he knew it if he traveled some of our city streets on a regular basis.

Four Hundred. Seven. Flip. Six.

I repeated that several times coming from the front of the house back to the kitchen to prepare lunch. We were having fish filets. To prepare them in the air fryer, I set the fryer to 400 degrees, put the fish in for seven minutes, flipped the fish and then cooked for an additional six minutes.

We got the air fryer a couple of Christmases ago. One of the best additions we’ve made to our kitchen.

I wonder if the food coming out of the air fryer will be any less tasty a few years from now. Guess we’ll find out.

Be Seeing You!
