Andy can’t believe Doug slept most of his day away. Neither can Doug! (I needed to catch up after a couple of weeks of not getting much rest.)

The Alabama Supreme Court ruling on embryos being children gave me pause. If so, then a fertilized chicken egg must be a chick. ~ Peep! Peep! ~
~ Shudder! ~
Thank your lucky stars if you don’t live in the USA these days.

A runza by any other name – cabbage burger is what I always called them – is a yummy meal. In my state, there is a fast food restaurant called “Runza”. Of course, they have the usual fast food items – onion rings, soft drinks, ice cream, hamburgers, and more – but the star of their menu is, no surprise, the runza. The day the chain announced they were putting one of their restaurants in my town was a huge deal.
I especially like their onion rings and a salad with cranberries and pecan meats, but their runzas are pretty average. I like best the homemade version with nice shreds of cabbage, recognizable pieces of onion, and a hamburger with a coarser texture than the restaurant’s. It seems like they run all the ingredients through a grinder, creating a smooth paste that probably cooks faster and more consistently than my homemade version. That said, theirs still is a yummy treat!

My Class of 1966 group meets today at noon for our monthly luncheon. I was going to make deviled eggs to take but the fear of boiling baby chicks alive – ahem, cough! cough! – was too grim a prospect so I baked an apple pie instead. The menu for today’s luncheon features fried chicken, damn carnivores that we are!
Rick makes a cabbage dish with chicken. Hope you and the group had a good lunch outing, Doug! Glad you caught up on sleep. Sleep is a great healer.
We had an excellent time, as usual!
Those sound good, a lot like pierogi with the cabbage.
It’s bigger than a pierogi, which is one of my favorite foods, too! There was a Russian cafe in the Greenwich Village in 1970 that I first tasted traditional pierogis, and every time I visited my friend Ralph in NYC, I made a trip to that restaurant for their pierogis!
Nice post. Been coping with the loss of Daisy Mae so may not be able to comment every day or week
Don’t feel obligated. I understand how the passing of one’s little fur baby wears heavy on the heart. I still miss each of the three cats I’ve lost.
Thanks for your understanding
I’ve been there, too, and one feels the losses of others.
What was the purpose of this “ruling”?
Subjugation of women’s bodies by white “Christian” conservative males on one side and preservation of life on the other. It’s a stupid political mess.
Wow. I say the evil one is in the middle of this. Divide and conquer.
The problem is that the vast majority of Americans supported Roe v. Wade but the Republicans played games by taking a Supreme Court appointment away from Obama, then using a different standard to give one to Trump, thereby handing the extreme right it’s ban on abortion nationwide, but a matter to be given to each state. I have no horse in that race, being a male, but I’d look left when voting in 2024 if I were a woman of any political stripe. Politicians have no business making this decision when the woman and her doctor know better when she might need medical intervention in the form of an abortion.
Doug: 🐱Ya gotta nap when ya can, my bones ache so bad I hardly sleep at all 💤
What came first the Chicken 🐔 or the Egg 🍳 ❓ Go ask Noah I think He’d know❗️
Cabbage 😸 I have been ban from family reunions for avoiding the cole slaw, heck in Korea they bury it in hot beach sand. ~Willy
I don’t eat lima beans either❗️
Ugh! When I was in the US Army, I was on field jobs where we ate C rations. The one that was saved till last was one with lima beans.
Yeah, that’s how they get kimchi once they add a bunch of other ingredients to the cabbage!
we so agree with you… although we grinned a little…
I’ve seen that trend in your posts! Humans need to pay attention to their animal friends and follow their lead.
Cute pic of Andy! Being surrounded by cat somnolence can certainly put me asleep! Good to be getting out and having fun with friends!
He was a bit put out at me for some reason. I look forward to these get togethers!
This morning I read a comment online–Reddit? X?–where some wag asked if embryos could now be claimed as tax deductions. Given that IVF clinics often “harvest” and fertilize multiple eggs because the rate of implant failure is so high, a parent could theoretically claim as many as 12-15 “dependents!”
I hope you enjoy your luncheon! There’s a Japanese dish called Oyakodon, or “mother and child.” It consists of stewed chicken mixed with egg and served over rice. The name however always disturbed me as a child, as it suggested a dead “mother and child” resting in my bowl of rice. I still can’t eat it to this day!
I’d have problems eating that dish, too! I periodically have vegetarian meals to avoid eating cows, chickens, fish, and other sentient beings, but the carnivore in me always takes me back. Cows are very sweet animals, making eating beef especially sad. (Well, milk cows are very sweet – range cows are sweet but potentially dangerous if you scare them.)
