    Happy birthday, Eric. You're a young man.

    Dinner last night was a take-out pizza. It was delicious and I ate more than my share of it.

    Isn't it horrible than we've reached the stage in this country that a shooting doesn't make big news. Obama said he hoped it would never come to that.

    Wally, Physics is fun but I preferred proofs (also strange to many) and ended up with a triple major: math, English, Latin, all languages in different forms. I went there since they let you take any classes you were interested in as long as you fulfilled the requirements of a major. It's really spooky since the shooting took place in my physics classroom where I spent three sessions a week for a year. The labs were in basement levels and breakout sessions were in small classrooms. I'm guessing the shooter had something against the economics professor who was holding an exam review session in that classroom.

    DH will have the leftover yaki soba and I'll make a "sushi" mix of raw scallops and stuff.

    I loved Proofs in my logic class. I always thought I was too dumb for math (except geometry); DH thinks I was just lazy and unwilling to work at things that didn't come easily to me…he may be right, LOL.

    I was horrified to see two shootings in different continents. And dare I start on the Russia war….OY.

    Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating.

    Wally, I also occasionally have scallops when DH has leftovers to eat.

    Dinner tonight was Tuscan garlic shrimp on cavatappi.

    Happy Hanukkah for those who celebrate it.

    Wally - interesting because I too loved Geometry. I think your DH is incorrect. It wasn't laziness. I took Algebra 1 & 2, then switched to the sciences. Liked Chemistry, and Biology, and I hated Physics. My favorite was Geology. Of course I'm old enough there were no "plate tectonics" and most everything l learned is now passe.

    Dinner tonight at Eddie V's for the holiday with the extended family. I had Bucatini pasta with lobster on top & truffles grated by the manager at the table after plated. Good, but not fantastic and WAY too filling. The majority of the table had filet mignon. Interesting that my 10 year old niece ordered that from the children's menu and pronounced it correctly.

    Off to take my son back to the airport tomorrow. He got lots of projects completed for me in the last two days and I really appreciate him coming.

    Minus, your son sounds like the kind of man who likes to have something to do when he visits. He also sounds very "handy."

    I don't even understand Wally's and Maggie's conversation about "proofs." I took required math and science subjects but was a liberal arts major all the way. I loved my literature classes.

    Last night's meal was chili with ground beef and canned kidney beans. Not a can of pinto beans to be had at the Piggly Wiggly, where we pay more but get in and out faster than at a bigger supermarket. I put the chili together on the stovetop, then popped the pot (ceramic over cast iron) into the oven. No stirring. It was quite tasty. I made dh a coleslaw. Now we have a big container of leftovers for lunches.

    Happy belated birthday Eric! Welcome to the "Golden Years". Warning: it's not all it's cracked up to be lol.

    Last night was French toast with lingonberry jam and bacon. It was a satisfying Sunday night meal and DH's specialty .Tonight is beef and noodles using the leftover Italian beef. I'll make some sautéed spinach for contrast. .

    Rischaller, I thought about you when I saw a recipe for cauliflower piccata in the NYT today. The preparation is completely different. The recipe reminded me that I sometimes include capers in the ingredients. When I think about them. LOL.
