Hi, friends!
It’s Monday again, boooooooo.
Anyways, what’s new? Did you try something new? Buy something new? Make something new?
I made palak paneer! I’ve always loved it when I get it at Indian restaurants, but I’ve never made it. So anyways my spinach plants are growing like crazy so that was a no-brainer. I did use feta for the cheese, which obviously isn’t accurate, but it’s what I had available at the store. Also feta is delicious!
Oooh do you have the recipe handy?
This recipe, but I used ground spices instead of fussing with grinding them myself.

Thank you! I love saag paneer. It’s always the dish I order if we get Indian food.
I will cop to becoming a fan of jarred Indian sauces for quick dinners. Add some chicken, a bit more hot pepper, cumin and ginger and by the time the rice is done it’s dinner. It’s not as good as from scratch, but like jarred pasta sauce it’s decent when you’re tired.
Humankind (Civilization like game) is 10$ on Steam. I’m buying it now in hopes that I can start playing next month after sleep training my baby.
I love the Civ games. The first we played it was after exams (if it was during I would have failed) about 30 years ago this month. Holy shit…
Sleep and Civ don’t go hand in hand though.
A friend of mine and I played 40 hours straight to the dismay of his housemates. We lost the game and the computer when our argument over using our nukes as tactical nukes vs strategic nukes against the Zulus woke up one housemate and he ripped out the power cord of the PC in rage.
I started playing Civ III and immediately started losing sleep. Since then I’ve learned to ration my playing time to the point where I’ve only recently started playing at King level.
Same here! Pre-kids, my husband and I would play Civ V from Friday evening till late Sunday night. Stopping only to walk our dog and get more beer and pizza. The fans on our laptops kept the room nice and toasty. Once, we tried to play online with a friend who was located on the east coast. That game took for fucking ever. We didn’t finish it.
Aaron Rodgers is going to the Jets.

Fuck Aaron antivax Rodgers! Glad to see him go to the Jets where he can be booed the rest of his career & win nothing.
I don’t know about the winning nothing part. The Jets seemed to look like they were actually getting their shit together last year. I didn’t like him the last few years he was with the Packers. Now I really don’t like him having to play the Patriots twice a year, while Bill keeps up with his sunk cost fallacy with fucking Mac Jones.
I just wanna know why no one is making jokes yet about him going *exactly* where Favre did, so many years ago…
And does this mean that after Rogers is involved in some sexual harassment scandal next year, his washed-up ass is getting traded here?
I wonder what Rogers’ version of the Mississippi Welfare Scandal will be?
Eta–it’s times like this that I really miss the old Pirate Ship, and especially the old ‘Spin flag!🏴☠️
It was announced on ESPN like 2 months ago.
Longest Midwest goodbye ever!!!!
New chain restaurant “CAVA”
Like chipotle but Greek? Anyways, it’s pretty damn good.
Ate there for the first time a couple of weeks ago with my stepdaughter. Agreed, it is very good and reasonably priced.
