Getting Back into the Skating Routine

-
My daughter started up again last night (a week later than planned due to some ice issues). And, from what I can tell, had no rust despite having a month off.

In total, we were there about two hours last night, giving me plenty of time to read. I think I made more progress in my book in one night than I did in the week leading up to it.

The start up of ice season did mean having to plan dinner accordingly. Good thing we have two crock pots. I ended up making pork ribs and potatoes and they were ready to be eaten by the time I got home from work, giving us both a chance to eat before we were at the rink.

Jen's Family Table Sloppy Joe Meat

  I had been eying this product at Kwik Trip for a few weeks now and, needing something for dinner last night, decided to finally purchase it (though, admittedly, my first plan was to get their taco meat, which ended up being sold out). After trying it, my opinion wound up being mixed. There were a couple things I really liked about this product. One of the main ones was the price. A 1-pound package cost $3.49. A pound of hamburger currently costs about $5, and that's only if I happen to find it on sale. When you add in the cost of a can of sloppy Joe sauce , this product ends up costing half as much as the way we usually make sloppy Joes. I also found I liked the convenience. Since the meat is already cooked, all I had to do was warm it up in the microwave for a couple minutes rather than frying the burger, draining the grease, and adding the can of sauce. The pre-cooked meat also meant I was getting what I was purchasing, it didn't cook down into a smaller quantity. Taste-wis...

Kwik Trip Kitchen Cravings Tailgater Pizza

  When my wife and I decided on pizza for dinner last night, I stopped at Kwik Trip with the intention of just buying a cheap, frozen, cheese pizza for our daughters since we already had another pizza in our freezer. However, as I was walking up to the checkout counter, this particular pizza caught my eye and, even though I wasn't crazy about spending $8.99 when I already had another option at home, I was intrigued enough to make the purchase anyway. We ended up making the pizza in the oven when I got home. After trying it, I have to say it is one of my favorites. One of the things, in particular, that really stood out for me when it came to this pizza was the toppings. The combination of sausage and cheese curds was both unique and delicious, especially since the curds were fresh enough to still squeak when we were eating them. The pizza also proved to be surprisingly filling, both because of the thicker crust and the generous amounts of toppings and cheese.  Normally, when ...

My Thoughts - Stuart Fails to Save the Universe: Spoiler: We're as Confused as You Are (9/10/2026)

Synopsis: After briefly spending time as centaurs, Stuart ( Kevin Sussman ) and company travel to another war-torn universe to retrieve the device that has the missing piece. He instead loses their device after they are put on the front lines and the four soon face a firing squad after they refuse to fight. My Thoughts -  Am I the only one who was disappointed we didn't see more of the centaur universe? I think that one had so much potential, but they don't even bother exploring it or learning about the implications that don't involve comic book superheroes being half-horse/half-man. The episode wasn't subtle about the writers' feelings about war. I don't know which I liked more, the suicidal battle plan that mostly consisted of Gary ( Tommy Walker ) and others charging into bullets with no other apparent strategy or the fact nobody really seemed to know why they were fighting the war other than the enemy having "the wrong family, wrong country and wrong g...
