Dan's Plans

[Mr Reasonable]

his friends though. maybe he could smell it and he could tell that it was some dank

Semi recently, i made nacho beef.
Simple and easy:
Extra lean hamburger, boiled in salsa.
Then shredded cabbage cooked in sour cream.
Garlic powder and chili powder.

Then the beef is ready to eat.
I had it with nachos and hard taco shells.
But i only had a little bit.
I gave most of it to the LDS missionaries.

I plan to make nacho beef tomorrow.
This time for me.
I'm thinking about cancelling the cabbage and putting lettuce instead.

I just recently completed Pokemon Moon.
It was an epic game.
Am sad that it is over.

Will be going to LDS church again this morning.
Edward may be coming along again.

Am going to eat more yogurt upstairs.

On monday i am going to Calgary to visit Gib and Christopher.
That will be fun.

[Pedro I Rengel]

Say hi to Gib for me.

He probably hates me but say hi anyway.

[Dan~]

Me and Gib had a 2 hour discussion.
Then he had to go home and work also the next day.
But he did have part of an evening for us.

Christopher needed to go home early.

The hotel was really nice. Only 80$ a night for 2 beds.

The bus ride to and from Calgary was nice, too.

It was a great experience, but it was pricey.

Lucky me, though, got to see 2 net friends.

Hi Pedro. I don't hate you. I don't have a single hateful bone in my body. *

We get into heated arguments in some threads which leads to frustration, but I am a perfect angel when it comes to how I feel about other people.

Hope life is peachy for you.

Hi Dan! It was a pleasure meeting with you and Chris. Your casseroles sound absolutely delicious. Next time you're in town, be sure to bring some.





* Do you believe this?

Hey, gibby. Good to see/read you again. Hope all's going well in your neck of the woods.

It's 4pm Friday afternoon here and I'm about to start my second job. Don't you love the IT world? I just had a 45 minute beauty nap (not that I need it) but I feel energized again. I love starting new projects; not so good at struggling to finish them, though...

Good to hear you, Mr Squiggle (aka Dan), got to do a bit of traveling. When I see your 'Dan's Plans' thread, it reminds me of one of my favourite all time songs



No, not this one but this will do.



PS: Who's Chris/Christopher? Someone here?
.

[Pedro I Rengel]

Me neither Gib, fuck 'em.

Good to hear from you.

Hey Chakra!

4pm huh? I believe it was around 10:00pm where I was when I posted that. So you must be in Asia somewhere, or maybe Australia (Antarctica?). The IT world is all I know. I need to be reminded once in a while that there's a world beyond the borders of my computer screen. Unlike you, I need my beauty sleep (I must be ugly ). Good to hear from you. Hope to chat with you more over some mundane philosophical topic.

Yep, still in Oz. Unfortunately, the country is rapidly morphing from the magical Land of Oz to resembling Oz the prison series. I'm still relatively free where I live but once the digital passports/govt id/banking and social credit system rolls out -- and they will -- there will be no hiding unless you live completely off-grid. I love technology but it's shame it's being used for and not but I think this technocratic fascism (technocracy) is something we have to go through. It seems we are going to have to lose everything before we're brave enough or awake enough to change.... Anyway, I won't mess up Dan's Plans thread anymore. Sorry Danny boy.

Now that the Corona ban seems to have been lifted,
i can start inviting people over to my house for suppers and visits.
I plan to invite people from the LDS church that i have not gotten to know yet.
I want to make new friends.
Old friends will visit too.

Tomorrow is church day.
I'm really looking forward to it.

Not too long ago my friend Andrew helped
me to deliver a pizza to the missionaries.
The pizza was from panago.
They make unique pizzas.

I'm going to be cooking and talking.
That's Dan's Plans.

It is worth remembering that there are 80,000 new cases everyday with around 600 deaths per day.

So??? What's it to you what he decides to do privately if he is following governmental guidelines and being sensible??? Keep your nose out of other people's asses.

I'm not sure what Oz is a metaphor for, but it sounds like China.

"It seems we are going to have to lose everything before we're brave enough or awake enough to change" <-- This hits the nail squarely on the head. I would phrase it thus: people will rise up and revolt only when they have less to lose by doing so than by being compliant and staying quite.

But you're right that we shouldn't hijack Dan's thread (sorry Danny boy! ). If you're interested in discussing this further, just PM me.

nice, at least one more person with something thicker than air for brain.

I finally found out where i can buy canned chicken gravy.
I want to put gravy with peas and corn into a rice dish.
I feel somewhat enthusiastic.

Am posting from a public library right now.
I was going to meet my friend Matthew at the library.

[Dan~]

So, i tested the canned gravy.
Bitter and nasty.
What a let down.

However, the rice dish survived.
Instead of the gravy, i put chicken soup broth powder.
I sent a bit with the missionaries.
I cooked 2 batches. The only difference with the second batch,
is that it has sliced beef wieners in it too.
For smokey meaty flavor.

Tonight at around 6:35pm i will be attending the
Jehovah's witness zoom meeting.
Not that i approve of JWism,
but there is still value in it.
And when the covid stuff lets up,
we can have bbqs at the part again.
We used to visit as a congregation,
once every 2 weeks.
I thought so, anyway.

That is the update for my plans for now.

[Dan~]

Tomorrow [monday] Andrew Bachelder will be visiting with me.
If things go according to plan.
He is one of my LDS friends.
I consider him a pretty good example of a real philosopher.
He cares about the truth deeply.

I'm going to offer him meatball rice
and standard rice.
I'll see which one he would prefer.

I'll probably go to the grocery store before our visit.
If so, i will probably get some sides for the rice.
Maybe some drinks, if i have room in my back pack.

Wish me luck!

[Dan~]

2:24am,
looks like i wont be sleeping for a while.
Gotta keep busy somehow.

[Dan~]

Andrew's wife needed the car for a doctor appointment on monday.
So we rescheduled for friday at noon / 12.
I'm looking forward to seeing him in 2 hours.

For the food :
Veggie rice, meatballs, and chili.
Mix and match.
There is also cheese.
I accidentally bought vegan cheese,
but it doesn't taste bad so ill have it as an option.
I also have orange juice as the drink.

[Dan~]

Andrew liked my veggie rice an 8 / 10.
He liked the meatballs 7.5 / 10.
And the tims canned chili was a 5.

I hope i remembered right.

He did most of the talking.
But I enjoyed his presence.

Appearantly a lot of the food in Britten is crap.

Dan food is pretty decent compared to the other foods of the world.
I think so anyways.
Just guessing here.

I can testify to Britain being the home of a lot of bad food. I mean there's lots of good food too. But generally, it's not a good food culture.

[Dan~]

My friend JC is coming over at around 4:00pm my time.
I will cook pierogies, sour cream, beef wieners, cabbage and onions.
Also for drinks ill make orange tang since i just got a lot of that at the dollar store today.
I'll start cooking at around 3:00pm i figure.

[Dan~]

I cooked early, but he got off of his appointment early too.
We talked about life, social situations.
He liked my rendition of perogies.
I plan to help him out again with food on Sunday.
This time, rice will be made.

[Dan~]

I just finished making a big tub of rice with sauce and veggie.

I put it in the fridge to cool.
Once cool, i will freeze the whole thing.
Then on sunday, ill deliver it to JC.
I'm pretty sure he will like it.
I ate a bit of it already, and to me it is fine.

[Dan~]

I filled up my new roaster with beef, potatoes, onions, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, veggie juice, and later ill prepare the sour cream.
Some time tonight it will be ready.
At around 12 tomorrow morning i will drop off the goods for JC.
I also will bring tea. He loves herbal tea.
So now that I know that, i can drop off supplies like that.
