Induction Deduction

 Here we are in Quartzsite, 30 minutes after Cooper gets me up to take him outside.  Right back to sleep he goes.  

Even Jonathan was asleep!  Me?  Not so much.  Once I'm up, I'm UP.  I took a quick shower, which I'm getting better at, and fed everyone breakfast.  It's not quite as much trouble cooking for THEM, as it is for me.

By 7:45 Patsy and I were headed off to the store for groceries.  Just a few things we needed to get by, since we'll head to the REAL store today.  I'm not saying this is a long walk, but it was longer than I've taken in awhile.  I was trying hard not to sound like I was dying as we walked UPHILL the last half a mile.  It might have been a much more pleasant experience if we weren't both carrying ten pounds of groceries on the way back.

Back at the rig, I decided to try out the induction cooktop.  But wait ... where can I set the cutting board top?  Not knowing which button to push, I tried the TEMP one, but had no idea what to set it at to toast my bread.  I finally switched it to numbers 1-10 ... 9 for good measure, which toasted the bread quite nicely.  I ate it with lasagne I got at Coyote Fresh.  

Here's my best critique of the food:  DO NOT BUY IT.  Oh my ... as good as it looked, it tasted (and ate) like the white jar of paste you used in kindergarten.  As for the induction deduction, it worked, so I imagine my fried pizza will turn out okay too.

I ate one of these yummy cheesecake bars Patsy gave me to get the taste of lasagne out of my mouth.  It worked well.

The days are full.  I think Patsy and Bill have their calendars completely taken up with Happy Hours, plane flying and just having fun.  We headed out to visit Ken and Kim at Roadrunner.  For two hours we laughed and yakked.

Mostly because of this sweet baby girl who was visiting her grandparents.  Ainsley's smiles were cute as a button!

Silly Als was on the menu for dinner, but alas, they were packed to the brim.  Bill suggested we check out Outback Pizza.  They had eaten there previously and said it was quite good.  You order in one building, then go two doors down to the bar and tables where you eat.  

After my failed kitchen attempts, I ordered a LARGE just for me.  It's called a BUCKLE.  I've no idea why.  The good news is it was as delicious as I've ever had.  Just look at this monster.  I now have SIX days of pizza left.  HA!  Take THAT induction stovetop!!

And so ended another very cool windy day.  Tonight I'll turn my heater up a notch, since we all got pretty cold.  It's 40 degrees out and only 65 inside.  Jonathan doth protest!!

On the menu this morning ... poker pool before our grocery run!!!  I see more re-organizing in my future.
