A friend recently assembled a kit-type chook house & enclosed run, another friend came up with the name of the establishment.

In this case it's TVP, aka textured vegetable protein. Chips of stuff which resemble chopped bacon when reconstituted with water.

I quite forgot to mention that my brother had a hand (indirectly) in making this soup so tasty: while he was working at the condiments factory he mixed up some tomato, onion and pretend bacon flakes then smuggled out a few bags of the stuff.

Fer gawd's sake, you YouTubers: if offering tutorials, consider ELOCUTION lessons.

needed something quicker to cook

I sometime watch TV at my mother's place. That's about it, though.

I most often use e-mail as a hyphenated word. That's to distinguish from a major industrial company that's called Email.

Can't keep solid food down. Feeling rather poorly and hungry, too. Tried something different: fried up some egg noodles & added just enough of last week's beef & beans soup to thicken into a sauce. That's staying down. Guess I'll have more of the soup for dinner in about 6 hours or so.

I'm using the MBA on my bed, lying on my side. The cat wanted attention so she wandered over & started head-butting my right arm. As cats do. At this stage, she's at one side of the keyboard/trackpad area. She then wandered AROUND the side & front of the laptop to the other side, never once stepping on it. Then repeated the process three more times, never stepping on the laptop at all, even taking extra-long steps to avoid it.

I acquired this cat as a de-sexed, immunised & microchipped 5+-year-old adult.

Other quirky behaviour: she will madly chase the red dot of a laser pointer. If I drag the pointer across my foot, with or without footwear, she will stop the chase, only resuming when the pointer is away from my foot.

Weird.

Just had a phone call from my NBN (National Fraudband Network) case manager: he's trying to get my old phone number reallocated to me.
