This is a dish that I really like to make. It’s very simple and yet it tastes great. Moreover, it’s a snap to adapt it for any number of people. The recipe that I found is for four, meaning four fillets of tilapia, so to adapt it for one person was a no brainer. Sprinkle … Continue reading Sautéed Tilapia
Tinker, Tailor, Tugboat, Sigh
I needed to have some tinkering done to some trousers so I took them to the nearby tailor, but to my chagrin, she was closed for the entire month of March and won’t re-open until April 6. The trip wasn’t a total loss, however, as on the way back, I saw Ted and his roommate … Continue reading Tinker, Tailor, Tugboat, Sigh
Why Is This Guy Smiling?
I really didn’t mean for it to happen, but I was so keyed up after the Mac mini upgrade, that I was champing at the bit to swap out my seven year old iMac Pro with its hot running Intel chip for a spanking new Mac Studio with an Apple M4 Max chip. So on Sunday … Continue reading Why Is This Guy Smiling?
Not So Clever Titles
One of the reasons that I usually try to give unique titles to my blog posts is so that I’ll remember what the post was about when I see the title. Except it doesn’t work. At least it doesn’t work most of the time. When I look at the logs of for my blog and … Continue reading Not So Clever Titles
How Do You Spell Relief?
I followed the instructions step by step after connecting all the external disk drives to the new Mac mini and making all the necessary connections, and I was ready to start up Plex. Here are the new and the old Mac minis side by side.The new one is on the left. But I hesitated. The … Continue reading How Do You Spell Relief?
Busy Day
It’s been a busy day, with more work ahead of me. I opted not to use Apple’s migration utility but simply configured the new Mac mini from scratch, having forgotten how many little tweaks I make to the settings. I’ve been copying disks and configuring the new Mac mini, and I had to place a … Continue reading Busy Day
The New mini
I have been in need of new Macs for some time. My desktop iMac is seven years old (I expected it to last for five years) and the Mac mini that I use as a server for my Plex library (that’s how I watch most of my TV and movies and other videos) is nearly … Continue reading The New mini
Banana Muffins with Macadamia
I baked a batch of Banana Muffins with Macadamia the other day. The actual recipe called for coconut and macadamia but I loathe coconut. Whoever invented coconut ought to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. But it was easy enough to eliminate that foul ingredient from the recipe and proceed. I think these are especially healthful … Continue reading Banana Muffins with Macadamia
Neal and Fumiko’s 50th Anniversary
After retiring, Neal and Fumiko eventually moved back to Pennsylvania where Neal died on June 9, 2017. Fumiko had been born on Okinawa on December 13, 1929, where her mother died in childbirth, and her grandfather died when she was eight years old. During the war, she lived in a cave and endured an internment camp … Continue reading Neal and Fumiko’s 50th Anniversary
Kathy and Me
I don’t remember the arrival of Neal and his new family in Richland. From the photographic evidence, we were certainly there at my grandparents house to greet them, as why wouldn’t we be? I simply don’t remember it. In January 1954 I was four years old, a few months from becoming five, so that’s no … Continue reading Kathy and Me
