Holiday Fridaily

Submitted by ChupacabraRVA t3_11amt29 in rva

It’s holiday season, as today marks National Tortilla Chip day. It’s not a federally recognized holiday but I’ll celebrate anyways. Speaking of celebrating, how is everyone going to celebrate the start to the weekend?

Today is also Edward Baker Dickinson day, I Hate Coriander day, and Independence Day in Estonia.

Happy Friday y’all!

I spent a day in Estonia on a day trip from Helsinki. That ferry ride was party time..all the Finn's ride to Estonia to buy booze at much cheaper prices. Literal shopping carts of booze. Then start drinking it on the ride back. Talin was a nice city with really cool medieval towers to climb. Happy independence day.

Had to call in sick today. My mother took yesterday's warm weather a little too hard... She's been puking and dry heaving since yesterday afternoon.

I'm trying to convince her to go to Patient First or something this morning. The last time she was like this she ended up in the hospital for days.

Fingers crossed.

After work I’m packing the car, grabbing my spouse and dogs and driving up to my MIL‘S house in the woods for the weekend. It has been a very very busy week and at least it’s super dark and quiet up at my MIL’s house. I just wanna sleep in.

Ahh, coriander AKA cilantro! To eimenit tastes wonderful and to others it tastes like soap. To those people, I recommend trying "culantro" if you can find it. It's milder and doesn't have the detergent taste.

And I find it odd that tortilla chip day and hate coriander day are the same day seeing as coriander is a staple ingredient in salsas, which go on tortilla chips. Oh well.

Among pastafarians, yesterday was vaccine day, today is beard day, and tomorrow is octopus enjoyment day.

Alex Murdaugh is guilty AF.

Alex Murdaugh might just get away with executing his wife and son.

I’ve been obsessively following this saga since 2021 and yesterday he surprised everyone by taking the stand. His performance was flawless. Anyone who says otherwise is either trolling or blessed with the IQ of a sea cucumber. We’re watching a masterclass in how to take the sting out of your opponent’s arguments by admitting every horrific thing you’re accused of except for murder.

Happy Friday. The 4th generation of our family arrived at 4:55am this morning after 24 hours of labor. 1st great grandchild which makes me a great aunt. Now I have to live up to that expectation.

Last night I read the dangers of drinking too much and it scared the living bejeebus out of me. It is such a scary read and very eye opening. I made the decision then and there to never read it again.

Cocaine Bear at the grown up theater tonight. Happy hour with a girlfriend tomorrow night. Ass on couch on Sunday.

My doggy is sick again and this time seems bad. She had abnormal bloodwork yesterday, so next week they're going to be doing various things to rule out/in cancer. Poor ole girl.

I’m working tomorrow so I will be postponing celebrations until Sunday. Or late Saturday if I have the energy.

My weekend started yesterday when I was blessed with 80° weather. I’m still pretending Saturday doesn’t exist. We’re going to eat soups, listen to Bobby Vinton on vinyl, and curse the weather gods for cold rain.

Short week for me. Going to have a few more as I have days to burn. Nothing really going on here tho.

By sheer coincidence, I bought tortilla chips and queso last night so I look forward to celebrating.

I found a YouTuber who makes traditional regional Indian food. I had great success with her recipe and method for overly complicated flatbread, so we're moving on to her dosa recipe. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone have a suggestion on places to park to catch the Pulse into the city for the VCU game this evening? Thanks!

Well now I want chips and salsa so thanks for that.

Coworker and I took a stroll to the downtown Starbucks this morning which is working wonders on my energy levels.

Woke up alone this morning as my cat had already relocated to the windowsill perch (he has a bed there) to watch everyone’s morning commute on 195. Hate waking up without him, but he’s a curious cat so I’ve gotta respect his neighborhood watch assignment.

The weekend always means the most work for me, so I'm ready for Monday to arrive! I'm grateful to have steady work when it seems most have to have more than one job just to get by now.

Over the next few days I have to start roughing out two different five course pairing dinners and a warm weather menu change. It'll be a happy type of busy.

ISO a cheap small-ish and quiet space (30 people max) to rent to hold weekly cheap open figure drawing sessions (~3hrs) on Friday nights.

Not looking to turn a profit on this, all proceeds that wouldn’t go toward renting the space would go toward paying the model/instructor.

Anybody have any ideas/leads? Any sort of vacant multi-purpose space would probably do.

Im not sure - the stupid website makes you jump through hoops to figure anything out but last time I think it was 1230 and we were waiting by 1115 and gave up and got an Uber around 1215

No way! Trader Joe’s in Short Pump was giving away free tortilla chips this morning and I don’t think they even knew about the holiday. Too perfect.

SoooOOoo....her name is Leskimi Nair, but before you go searching for her, I have to give disclaimers - It's not in English and only some of the videos have English subtitles. She also does a crap ton of filler talking. Additionally, most of the recipes will probably be unfamiliar to you bc Indian restaurants around here are North Indian. Shaan Geo's videos are better bc there's no filler talk. The ingredients are written in English so in theory you should be able to follow along even with the language barrier. But same disclaimer about the recipes.

My dog died unexpectedly last night and I’m so sad. Just going to try and enjoy this weather today because I know he would love it.
