Sigh, comment. The emoji clipped my t. Where is the quality control in these things?

I was in Belgium on this date last year. They take "French" fries very seriously. (as well as the condiments into which they are dipped).
IIRC, the term "French fries" originated during WWI. American soldiers were in/near Belgium, but associated them with France.
The Brits, of course, call them "chips" and they are conduits for malt vinegar. (Potato chips to them are "crisps.")
Strange world.
I need to go back to Europe one of these days. May be a while...
See, I like a nice pancake with a heap of butter and slathering of syrup. Stopped eating them on the regular in my 20s but when I do, I like to focus on the traditional elements of a pancake.
My wife is from the old country and her people put savory sauce on pancakes which, as an American, I find against God.
We were under a wind advisory and there were a few powerful gusts but overall nothing serious or scary.
not quite, signifying very little. My youngest is reading Mackers for his (online) English class right now. I was going to go in and give a lecture on Shakespeare in performance to all the freshman English sections. :( He won't let me do it now that they are online - but maybe I can do it for the other sections!
What the heck is savory sauce?
Such a pretty day here today. Fresh air and cheerful thoughts. Opened the windows and simply delighted in the sunshine. A fine Rx for all of us. I always feel good when I push away from the laptop.
Clears the head and breaks the wormhole attention spiral.
Unfortunately, urs comes with a nice dose of pollen.
There’s another fan in the family...

We've had a damp week so far: Two and a half inches in two rounds on Monday, and another quarter inch last night. I dug up my back yard and reseeded last month and the new grass is poking up. The rain is good - so long as it doesn't wash everything away!

I usually get away without watering my lawn until late May/June. Trending that way now, I do wish we got intermittent rain during the summer.
