Good morning!!!!

Just got back from the garden, not even a cup of oka. Production delayed a week. Not good, Wendy’s wants it for the frosty and whataburger wants the chocolate shake to go with their impossible burger. The shark tank has been texting all afternoon.
Thanks again Rick, the checks is in the mail.

RNG- I hope that you remain out of harm痴 way and will have to use your firetruck this fire season.

Thanks for the thought, Jay, but I'd rather NOT have to use that firetruck this season. Or any other for that matter.:shocked::laughing:

Sit rep on the Instant Pot baby back ribs. I did not add the fake instant smoke liquid, but maybe I should have.

The good: The meat fell off the bones, and melted in your mouth.

The not so good: They were OK, but nowhere near as good as slow smoked baby backs on a pit.

Reminded me of elementary school food.

Glad I finished supper before reading about okra. Yuck.

Drew, hope you/they get all the stuff figured out on your new schnazzy DrewMobile2.

A Tale of Two Baseball games.

Sunday, Astros won 21-1
Tuesday, Astros lost 21-7

In between, Astros won 15-0, so I'm wondering what tonight's score will be???

They are tied with the Yankmees for overall 1st place (home field advantage).

Don't worry, being a fan all these years has thickened my skin.

But I will say, things are looking good this year.

Was having the Patio Cover installed today... NOT !
Truck arrived, they started laying out the support beams, asked for approval and I said yes, then I asked about the overhang.
I had asked for 12" all the way around, another NOT happening..., the short sides had the right amount but the front away from the house had 3"... NOT !
At first they said I sign the QUOTE... yes I did but we changed things and I had told you I wanted a 12 Overhang all the way around, he thought on it then told me he would reorder the top panels, no cost to me... thank you !
They dropped all of the pieces off, except the roof, and after talking about the whole project, they left with no cover in place.

I got the call about rescheduling, one week out, Sept 17, not too bad, could have been a month like the first install date, they had a cancelation, we have guests coming from New England in Oct., so I'm thinking it is a win/win !

At least I got a chance to talk to the their Electrican, he seems knowledgable, we talked about the supply lines, the connection points, how the switches were suppose to work and where the switches will go, actually win/win/win !

Waiting impatiently but at least it is happening.

Also got a couple of hours on the tractor with the BH... dug a trench 32' 24" deep, the ground around here is like cement for the first 15" or so... and the little Max28 doesn't weight in as a heavy weight !

Now for the cross trench for the Fireplace and the Potting Shed Electrics and water, more time in the Tractor Seat !

I have yet to buy an Insta Pot... might have to take another look !

I do not need any more kitchen appliances. This thread creates culinary gadget acquisition challenges sometimes. I am still playing with the air fryer I recently bought.... I am not unhappy....

Jay what language is that?:laughing:

I'm guessing Tagalog (Philippines) maybe?

Re: Okra Shakes

Tomorrow, September 12th, is ...... National Chocolate Milkshake Day! WOO HOO!!

"National Chocolate Milkshake Day on September 12th brings chocolate and ice cream lovers together. Forget the calories for just this one day and enjoy a sweet tall, thick and delicious, chocolate milkshake!
The term milkshake first appeared in print in 1885. During this period, milkshake referred to an alcoholic beverage described as a “sturdy, healthful eggnog type of drink” blended with eggs, whiskey, and other ingredients. Pharmacies served the drink as a tonic and a treat to customers. By 1900, pharmacies offered this “wholesome drink” with either chocolate, strawberry or vanilla syrup.
The early 1900s – People began asking for this “new treat” with a scoop of ice cream.
1911 – Hamilton Beach’s drink mixers began to be used at soda fountains.
1922 – Steven Poplawski invented the electric blender or drink mixer.
Due to the invention of the blender, the milkshake began to take a chipped, aerated, and frothy form as they are today.
By the 1920s & 1930s, milkshakes became a popular drink at malt shops everywhere.
Another addition to the milkshake was malted milk powder. Made from malted barley, wheat flour, and dehydrated whole milk, malted milk tastes a bit like toasted caramel. It made its debut around the 1870s as a shelf-stable dry milk product. Add the powder to a chocolate milkshake, and the creamy goodness is transformed into a malted chocolate milkshake. Along with milkshakes, malted milk milkshakes became popular drinks at soda fountains around the 1920s."

I've got to go into town to get horsefeed tomorrow. I think I already hear the Dairy Queen calling out my name.

Don ... I'll ask if they have an Okra Shake. If not, I'll point them your way. Can't wait for my first commission check. It should be huuuge!
