What's everyone up to right now?

[Angrboda]

Cruised into my corner liquor store on the way in, looking for something different in a beer single.  I haven't had Asahi in a while, and they had it in single cans, but a single can was $3.50, whereas a six-pack was only $10.  It didn't make sense to buy a single, so I popped for a six of Tsing-tao which I prefer and was only a dollar more.  They also had 12-packs of lime flavored Summit for $6.  When I saw it in the cooler, I thought sure that they'd left the '1' off and it was really $15.99.  I didn't realize it really was $6 until I saw the free-standing display.  I like lime-flavored beer, so I was on that like white on rice.  Unfortunately, I didn't think to grab the cold ones, so I have a couple chilling in the freezer.  I've had Bud lime before and liked it, but I'm too much of a snob to buy Budweiser in any quantity.  But if Summit makes it, well, thumbs up!

There's always a quart or two of runny glop leftover, which means I have to haul the heavy crock into the bathroom and dump it in the toilet, and then haul the crock to the sink to wash it.  This will eliminate most of that hassle.  A 10-quart crock is a bit unwieldy.  Even the 6-quart is no piece of cake.

 
You empty cooking fat into your toilet? Gee, we're not allowed to.

Beer; there was a minor scandal here a few years ago when people realised  a lot of the expensive 'imported beer' was and is, made here.  It certainly matters; Eg the Guinness made here is nowhere nearly as good as that made in England and Ireland.

I was thrilled to discover that in the US, their relatively cheap beer is even cheaper if you buy six. Here you have to buy a slab for a discount (24 cans or bottles)

I just thought of another advantage of the cooking bags. When I want to put leftovers in the fridge, I can just lift the bag and put it in a food storage container or dump it in without the bag. That saves me the trouble of having to spoon the leftovers into a container.

Do you/they anticipate a short or extended stay? Maybe you're still in the investigation phase. Keep us updated please.

I just got the news.  Very serious pulmonary embolism.

Whoa........ shit. Didn't expect that. Did they propose an etiology?

Initially I thought this might be related to your recent episode of explosive dehydration, and maybe it was. Or maybe the long car ride with little movement developing a DVT.

After they get you stabilized what's the short and long term treatment plan (maybe you're not there yet)? Not sure that returning down south this season would be a good idea.

GET BETTER!!!

Edit: After thought, Covid?

We're not far enough along to know much yet. I expect it was the long car ride.

Definitely not covid, I've tested negative twice in the last 24 hours.

Oh dear. My medical knowledge is restricted to being an army medic, but that was 50 years ago.

Consequently, all I can offer is my hopes for your speedy recovery.

Enjoying my weekend. Monday I start work on my first video for the month of December. It's hard for me to take days off as I'd rather be working, but I promise myself weekends off to keep myself healthy. So here we are.
