Monday Evening Open Thread

My sister Tomala made some biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and tri tip steak for breakfast earlier this morning:

She also made hot white watermelon tea to go along with our breakfast:

Then I jumped back into playing some more Borderlands 2 this evening just to up myself a bit, and so far I’m getting closer to Level 38 as Mechromancer. 🙂 After I got done playing, I used a little bit of Borderlands 2 video footage in Shotcut to make an animated GIF of a Spiderant Queen minding its own business when suddenly it got blown up by a single sniper bullet up its thorax:

Either way, my Dad will go to the bank tomorrow to pick up some money and then my dad and I will run over to Fred Meyer to do our soda can deposit so I can put two-thirds of my cash in my Steam wallet to buy some cool games in the Steam Winter Sale and keep one-third of my money in the bank.

Christmas Time has arrived!

We had a friendly elderly guest of ours coming over to our house this evening for a visit, and we were chowing down some delicious Christmas dinner which is Tri Tip roast beef with baked potatoes, salad, dinner rolls, corn and artichoke casserole:

After we’re all done eating dinner we decided to celebrate the holiday by drinking a good round of B-52 Bomber cocktails, and then our guest sent us some presents that contain candy and gift cards. Not only did I get the Christmas candy and a $25 VISA gift card, I also got a brand new handheld flashlight. 🙂

And now for no weird reason here’s a TF2 screenshot that I took and made it out of something for the holiday:

Early Thanksgiving Open Thread

We had our friendly elderly visitor coming over to our house earlier this evening and enjoyed some delicious Thanksgiving dinner which is turkey with cranberries, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, candied yams and artichokes. Here’s the screenshot of the Thanksgiving dinner while spending time with the whole family:

This was good food on a happy early Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to watch this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow if there is a live stream for it available on YouTube. 🙂

Monday Late Night Open Thread: Lime Curry and Chili Doge Edition

My sister Tomala made us some green chicken curry with rice noodle for lunch earlier this afternoon after I got done doing some yard work. Here’s a picture of what she made:

The ingredients in it are cut chicken breasts, potatoes, broccoli and other green veggies. It was spicy but very exquisite. 🙂 Then we enjoyed some chili dogs with sliced pears that San_San prepped up for dinner this evening:

Tonight’s dinner was very delicious too, and even the pears taste quite juicy. My compliments to the chefs. 🙂

‘Twas a rainy day today.

Today’s weather turned out to be a grey, rainy day this evening. My family and I were enjoying some tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches that San_San prepped for dinner, and it was some deliciously edible rainy day food. 🙂 After we’re all done eating dinner I whipped out my camera and snapped a cute cat pic of Stewie sitting on my raincoat that I laid out on my bed in my bedroom:

Last Open Thread of the Month

I have managed to complete my nature-related collection earlier this afternoon after pulling up some unwanted weeds and fake grass out back especially the ones from yesterday that my father mowed down some tall grass with the weed wacker. It was a collection of seeding dandelion puffballs that I carefully stored them all in my small rectangular wooden box without knocking the parachute seeds loose, and so far I counted a total of 24 puffballs. Here’s a picture of what I’m talking about:

So now I’ve got a good batch of white fuzzy puffy bubbles in a box. 😛 Anyways, my family and I enjoyed some delicious hot dogs that my mother cooked up for dinner since we had hamburgers for yesterday’s dinner. My compliments to the chef that hot dogs and hamburgers are both exquisitively delicious as long as they’re homemade. 🙂

After I got done eating dinner I went down in the garage to help my father mount two fittings from under the Mustang while I move to the passenger’s side of it and turn the tubes to the right several times in order to complete the process. Either way, we got all that car work done and out of the way for the night.

Open Thread! Have at it, ppl!

Thursday Evening Open Thread + A Lil’ Bit of TF2 Fun Time

Today’s weather turned out to be nice than last couple days ago. My sister Tomala made some delicious shrimp pasta for dinner this evening along with cooked vegetables which are diced bell peppers, onions and corn. Unfortunately I didn’t have a picture of it because I was too busy enjoying my food, but it was really good food by the way. 🙂

After I got done eating dinner I decided to have fun by playing TF2, and I have sold enough garbage to purchase some new stuff from the Steam market:

This hat for the Heavy was purchased in the Steam market four days ago.

I’ve had such a good time playing around with various people on random online community servers tonight. Enjoy this open thread!

The Attack of the Many-Legged Alien Carrot

San_San found a large weird-looking carrot out in our garden earlier this afternoon. Here’s a picture of the carrot:

Yep, it has, like, five or six legs on that thing. I’ve never seen a good-sized oddly shaped carrot like this before. Anyway, San made us some Cobb salad for dinner after cutting up the carrots into little slices and then putting them on a tray filled other sliced vegetables such as celery, onions, etc.

I gotta say, it was a great garden-related family dinner. 🙂

Wednesday Late Night Open Thread

There’s nothing new to report tonight other than having a fairly decent day. We had some delicious taco stuff for dinner earlier this evening along with the ‘watermelon’ cake for dessert. Here’s what the cake looks like:

It has red frosting on the top, green frosting along the edges, and it’s sprinkled with chocolate chips to make the cake look like a watermelon. 😛

Once again, the Slackers have managed to live another day. Open thread!
