I'm sure this isn't a bad sign at all, right?

Google Trends graph short step increase in search for "struggle meals"

A couple of them but not most

V/H/S Halloween was good

Each segment was good but the main framework story was pretty meh

The first one was damn good

Definitely worth watching, especially with the one week free trial of Shudder

Thankfully I don't think it's mainstream enough for any widespread retaliation

Ya know what

I'm just going to go with this from now on.

Everything sucks because we're in the Weasel Timeline.

My side has been hurting for a few days and yesterday when I woke up and stretched it popped, loudly

This seems to be the mostly likely cause, egg makes sense because my left side false ribs have been dislocated/detached since I was young

Do anything hurts even breathing right now
Fucking sucks

Slipping rib syndrome is a condition in which the interchondral ligaments are weakened or disrupted and have increased laxity, causing the costal cartilage tips to subluxate. This results in pain or discomfort due to pinched or irritated intercostal nerves, straining of the intercostal muscles, and inflammation.

Fairly lazy dinner tonight

French hotdog and mac and cheese and beans

Zoe @retrozo.bsky.social · 3d

Assorted nuts (most peanuts), granola, candied dates, raisins, dried cranberries, and caramel bits

The mix changes a little each time but is generally about the same

Pan-fried cheese sandwich

Zoe @retrozo.bsky.social · 3d

I have a vintage Toastmaster sandwich grill/press and it makes a perfect grilled cheese. Only downside is that I can only do two at a time

The weather here is perfect for one, chilly and drab

Can't go wrong. Perfect for a chilly, drab day

I'm waiting for it to get just a bit colder because I do chili. Already got the cornbread mix though

I'll be making my yearly butternut squash tomorrow though

Zoe @retrozo.bsky.social · 3d

Great day for grilled cheese and tomato soup

Went to an Outback Steakhouse (was fucking terrible, when did all restaurants become the same Applebee's microwave garbage?) and saw some copyright infringement

Appears to be this hand, Monster Go

How'd it go?

Also we used to regularly hit over 100 on 522 because it's straight for ages

I was riding with my dad at about 4 AM going to a car auction in either Ohio or upstate PA and he got pulled over by a WV statie for speeding. Handed over his license, guy looks at it, says "ah, you're from Berkeley Springs". Hands it back, and leaves. Still don't know why

A hill was the border between West Virginia and Maryland

He started at the top, rolled the horse down the hill and got arrested at the bottom

Was just reminded of the time my uncle got a DUI

On a horse

In two states simultaneously

The tapes are all over eBay for cheap. The DVDs are kind of pricey since it's been out of print but Smith got the rights to it back and they're about to print a new Blu-ray release soon

It was so good! The pork tenderloin was perfect, just fell apart

Zoe @retrozo.bsky.social · 5d

Haha thanks

I usually do a roast every Sunday but I have a late lunch with sister-in-law tomorrow and I didn't think the stuff would last another week

Otherwise, I make dinner every night, though not everything is photo-worthy
