Clouds again.

Overcast here this morning... riding the brown pony and looking over what I have set forth on my docket. I like to be productive. As usual, emails and maybe some video today. I think I'm here in CT till Friday so I can get all of my provisioning done (Trader Joes) and fit in quite a few AA mtgs and see some pals in New Haven and Hamden.

Yesterday did feel rather productive... I thank "feelquiet" for the gentle shove to put up more video. I am having some technical issues... but I'll figure it out.I do like that I got some of the footage I wanted up.

I have some new Hamlin footage to put up as well... from Seattle. Just working on that slowly as I think it'll be more of a montage.

I think I'll grab a tennis racquet and go hit some balls against a wall today... that sounds good too.

Oh... and a nasty dish for a Tupperware party:



Sandwich Loaf!!

Not since the ‘70s has it been fashionable to combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sour cream in a single dish. Add white bread and you’ve got the makings for an impressive sandwich-cake on which you can draw faces or special messages with mustard.

Serves at least 15 people, not including the dozens who suddenly remember they’re not hungry.


4 hard-boiled eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped pimentos
1-pound can salmon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 pounds cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
Small can chopped olives
2 tablespoons minced scallions
2 tablespoons minced celery
1 tablespoon minced onion
2 tablespoon walnuts
1 loaf white bread, crust removed and cut into five horizontal layers
Combine salmon with mayonnaise, eggs, lemon juice, olives, pimentos, etc. Spread this concoction between the layers of bread as you would a sandwich filling. Finish by “frosting” the outside of the loaf with cream cheese. Slice vertically with a bread knife while suppressing your gag reflex.
