Measure carefully to avoid inflationary meatballs
How much smoother things are going to be around here, now that I have a new sander! And in a world that seems to favour inflation, my thanks to Sabrina (the associate at the hardware emporium), who listened to our needs and then recommended the cheapest model on the rack. How often does that happen?
In the world of government, not often. The prorogue for fun party brought their newest budget plan into plain view this afternoon. The weeks and weeks of “realignment” ended with more of the same (as if we couldn’t have predicted that one). Yes, the country will continue to spend more money than it has, and the national debt will continue to be what dreams are made of.
Funny (in that negative sense) how the country has gone from balanced budgets only a few years ago to a state with nothing but debt to show for the efforts of all of us. I can easily calculate how much I’ve contributed in taxes. Unfortunately, I can’t see how the new debt profited me, or my kids, or my neighbours. Even the dog is confused on where the bones money bags are buried.
We went to the big mall this evening, just because we could. For my time spent in public I learned the following:
In making meatballs, start with a measure. If not, the individual meatballs will get bigger as you progress through the batch. This will negatively affect your cooking time calculations. For best results, sear the meatballs in a saucepan, and then cook them in a hot oven.
Learned that while waiting for my significant other in a large bookstore…
