- Someday, when I finally write an autobiography, I will name the chapter that deals with the past couple of months “There must be a pony in here somewhere!”
- Not sure what the title of that book would be, but the subtitle will be “I cut out all the interesting parts because I don’t want to go to jail.”
- For those of you keeping track at home, it takes two pounds of ground chuck, three eggs, a half cup each of milk and oatmeal, and about two teaspoons of Montreal steak seasoning to make a rather tasty meatloaf in our new cast iron loaf pan.
- Mmmmm, crunch edges.
- Side dishes were mashed cauliflower and steamed green peas.
- No, the cauliflower is not a substitute for mashed potatoes. Only hash brown casserole is an acceptable substitute for mashed potatoes. They are, however rather tasty, if you like cauliflower.
- Speaking of cooking, a chili-ish stew mistakenly made with Italian sausage instead of chorizo was quite good. I’ll have to remember that one.
- I’ve gotten Boo to start listening to “Citizen of the Galaxy” while we take drives, and he’s getting into it. Soon, it’ll be Starship Troopers and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
- I will, however, let him discover Friday, I Will Fear No Evil, Stranger in a Strange Land, and Time Enough for Love after he’s 18. There’s a fine line between “Cool Dad” and “Creepy Father”, and I do not intend to cross it.

/ September 6, 2018Recommend Door into Summer, Rocketship Galileo, and Have Spacesuit–Will Travel for your young’un. Last two were even some of Heinlein’s Juveniles.

/ September 7, 2018Respectfully, good luck with that schedule for Boo.
Having discovered Heinlein at the age of 8 (Space Cadet) I’d read and sometimes re-read his entire Sci-Fi output by the age of 13 (1976) and was forever haunting the Library and any 2nd-hand bookshop I could find in the hope of finding more. No internet back then of course for an instant bibliography and “coming soon” list….
I had the great good fortune to frequently visit a small City where the locals actually traded in their Heinlein books at the 2nd-hand bookshops…. unappreciative heathens & my good luck at the time……

/ September 8, 2018Now that you mention it, I don’t think I’ve ever owned a brand new Heinlein book in paper format. All of mine are 2nd hand, too

/ September 9, 2018The best part of making meat loaf, is the next days fried meat loaf sandwich’s, 3/4 to 1 inch thick and fried in butter until the edge is starting to get crunchy.
My recipe is a little different, I put a small can (drained) of french sliced green beans and a cup of panko crumbs per 2 lbs. of ground meat.
