My Mom when she was in HS misdiagnosed her ruptured appendix as a STI.

That coupled with family history of the witch in my family. She was supposedly better than the area doctor at getting people better from scarlet fever.

Progress on bourbon fudge. There was a guy from Kentucky in my graduate program. I remember one time we were talking about having a party with foods from respective states. He was talking Bourbon fudge made these monks close to where he was from.
He put in a request that I bring back the

Planning on some bourbon fudge. I don't know if this is a good brand or not. I don't really drink it, but I've got a few recipes where I like to cook with it.

I guess I come off as a nut job on the veggie side. I had some OT today for work. After work decided BLTs sounded okay. Got the bacon fried, then realized we have no mayo. Mom suggested using peppercorn ranch dressing on the bread instead. It works.

Minimum wage in 1950 was .75 cents. So you could work one 8 hour shift and make rent for the week, and still have a dollar left over.

I guess $60 a month was average rent in New York in 1950. Shortage of rental units. Her set up was more that like they were renting beds in a communal area for tenants. It wasn't like individual apartments for each one.

My Great Grandma used to eat radishes, green onions, and Braunshweiger (sp?) Everyday for lunch. I guess why associate radishes with German food. Also why I was confused when Skeptics Guide to the Universe described German food as one rich heart attack.

I watched a FB video about using your fingers to create ribbing while throwing. So I tried that.

I tried trimming with a chuck today, then I turned the chuck into something. So threw this bowl today.

Our first big snow of the year. May get 10". It is not supposed to stop until 7am tomorrow. I am very glad 😊 I did not sign up for OT this weekend. I like the snow better if I do not have to drive in it.

I wouldn't have been able to comply on the German sweet treats anyway. Dad's side of the family decided we were American not German. It is kind of interesting what little bits still hung on. Some of this was a safety thing I think.

Sweets. There is maybe implication I should forgo my lunch and bring German sweet treat for her.

She went savage another time on me when I put in for high fives for my clinic team. We had had High fives were peer appreciation pins Gundersen used to do. That I needed to do something real for.

I was having racing thoughts all Thanksgiving. That is a schizophrenia thing. It makes it hard to focus. My portion of Thanksgiving dinner took me forever due to that. Also making it so I cannot sleep now.

Kind of a wonky throw. I like what the glazes did on this one. This one ran but not as bad as the other.

My glazes really ran on this one. They had to bust it off the shelf. I still kind of like what the glazes did though.

I kind of like what the inside of this little bowl thing did. I should have continued the sgraffito flowers more fully around it.

Maybe this is not accurate on the amount spent on jewelry. I am so glad I was not raised in an expensive jewelry as gifts type family. My Mom's wedding ring is unpolished silver and rough because marriage is not easy. I think the diamond obsession is barbaric in a lot of ways.

Montfort had a problem with a deer poacher, I guess it would already be like 10 years ago. They were across the street from us. They were just killing the deer to kill them. They were not eating them. When you went down the one back road along the sides it was scattered with remains of deer.

Later I see a dude walking across the trail carrying a gun. He had no blaze orange on. I did look up gun season in WI does not start until the 22, which was what I thought one of the old guys at work had said. At anyrate I did not get shot. I also wasn't the only non hunter person out just to
November 15, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Well I was foolish today. I scored some OT today. After shift I was thinking go work out in the gym, but it is so warm today went with hike in woods. Totally spaced out it was bow season. I get out a ways on the trail and then I hear some gunshots. I second guess myself and keep going. Awhile

Supper tonight. Kid me would be horrified I am eating cabbage. There was a guy I went to school with who said when he was living purely off his art sales he just ate cabbage soup everyday. It was all he could afford. In case people need cheap meal ideas. I don't know his soup recipe though.

I think these are my favorite curds in the area. I only find them sometimes at Mills. They had jalapeño flavor today!

Pumpkin sage gnocchi for supper tonight, from fresh pumpkin not canned.

Snow is hitting in Montfort now. Maybe a better picture than earlier today.
