Worst Sauce

Someone asked a question on FaceBook:

Has anyone lived long enough to buy a second bottle of Worcestershire sauce?

I have easily emptied at least 6 large bottles as an adult, so that is easily more than one per decade of life. I remember buying a two-pack of bottles at Sam's Club once. I use Worst Sauce less now that I brought oyster sauce into my food prep several years ago but most likely less than ten. I still use Worse Sauce in my prep of Southwest Stew, which has been made 90 times at 1 tsp per batch, so 15 fl oz. and that would be 3/4 of a bottle of Worst Sauce consumed by just that one recipe in the 4 years & 4 months since starting The Stew.

I also use Worst Sauce to modify (already spicy) Spicy V-8 juice. I put in Worst Sauce, Sugar, and Tabasco sauce, 17.5, 66, and 5.4 grams according to the recipe that I have wrote directly onto the inside door of one of my kitchen cabinets.

I have seen reports from very old people who claim that Worst Sauce has allowed them to live past 100 years.

Today's Dog Lesson On The Fly

I have observed Hopper trying to grab flies in mid air with his mouth several times for most his entire life with me, all 1560 days. But I have no idea how often he gets one ..OR.. what he does with the fly after capture.

Tonight I saw that he was successful ..AND.. that he spit the dead fly out onto the carpet. After I told him that I was proud of him, he went back and inspected the fly, maybe to make sure it was dead.

I spend a huge amount of time getting to know my dogs! Right before the fly episode I was wondering how much they understand of my speaking to them. They understand some words & phrases extremely well, like: biscuit, bone, cheese, chicken, food, front porch, go bye-bye, go outside, go to the office, snuggle, spaghetti etc.

Who Is Reading Me in Sweden?

 There appear to be reader(s) from Sweden reading my blog recently. If these are real readers, please leave a comment.

UPDATE: I just changed comments setting so anyone can comment.

Thanks!

Frog Oasis

July 2nd 2021

Every summer we have at least one frog that lives at the wettest spot on the property: right by the back door step where rain easily accumulates and is always the last place to dry out, even though it is also the hottest place at 3 PM due to concentrated solar radiation.

As to the degree of just how wet this oasis is at the moment, this season is numerically classified as a Three Frog Summer.

I turned the power off to my computer when the storm passed through. When I started my Windows PC back up, I was greeted with an image of nearby Palo Duro Canyon, Lighthouse Rock. But then I was curious because it looked ‘off’. I examined several photographs online, and it appears that the Microsoft image is reversed!

You might need to click on the second image to see the ‘correct’ orientation, at least that’s the one that has several similar views. Notice the small protrusion on the pathway that I highlighted with a red arrow.

I have no idea why I am getting flooded with piano restoration ads in FB. I haven’t needed a piano stored or restored or been to a piano store in a veRy long time. Even then a decade ago I just wound up giving away a piano, baby grand; it never even made it to my house. I was warned that it never stayed in tune, it just had sentimental value, being in the family. But alas it was too cumbersome and large and far away. Another time I thought my wife bought me an old piano that she asked me to test drive between a pair of antiques at her church, both upright, but it somehow skipped my mind after that jam session and it obviously skipped hers. I need to ask her about that one sometime to see if she paid for it.
