Baldo en Español by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for October 01, 2011

Hockey team fell apart tonight. Couldn’t pass the puck to save their backsides so it wasn’t so

GRITS.

HI, MARG!!!

Sorry to read that,

JFRI. Maybe they’ll have a GRITS game next week.

Sounds like you needed somebody pull the strings tighter.

“¿Puedes oírme ahora?” Si no necesita, cambiar su compañía!

Buenas Dias, Locos!

Buenos Dias Locos!. A foggy start to the day.

Alta tecnología aumenta la lata experiencia.

High tecnology enhances the tin can experience.

It’s a cold day here Locos! Only 10 degrees, and this is warmer than this morning.

Hola everyone!

I went out with friends for crepes this morning. I feel the need for a long walk to fight off sleepiness. I sleep too much when I shouldn’t and not enough when I should.

Have a good day everyone.

That hockey team needs to get its act together.

Hola Shika!. Sorry that I missed you.

I’m sorry I missed you too cleo. It’s hard to meet up here. We all have such diverse schedules, not to mention time zones.

Tabby! If you see this, Hello form your sis!

From…

Hi all! I just got to deal with the dregs of humanity when I picked up my car from the jerks who towed it. What horrible people! Don’t worry Gracie, I could never get those to work either.

Howdy Shika!. I am just checking in before we go out to look at carpet samples. Whoop de Ding! snerk

Hi Johnny and cleo! Imagine seeing TWO Locos at once!!!

Sorry you get jerked around Johnny.

LOL cleo What’s not to like about looking at carpet samples? It is my FAV-OR-ITE activity, next to getting my teeth pulled. :-)

I wonder who else will surprise me with their appearance here?

It’s 12 degrees! Whoo-hoo! Getting mighty warm now.

Off to make some sauce and have my shower. I’ll check back periodically, if not idiotically….

50 degrees here. I meant to be on here most of this afternoon because it has been raining all day, but I FINALLY tackled my kitchen table and counter and cleared off all the paperwork, magazines, etc. Of course, in a few days time, it will look the same as it did before I started! LOL!

Hola johnny and shika! Sorry I missed you! Hope those jerks didn’t rip you off, johnny!

My marinara sauce is coming along nicely. I think I’ll have my shower and a leisurely supper.

Hola Dry! I hear you. I tidy up often!

Pasta again? I’ll bring the garlic bread and a salad!

Oh they most definitely did. And I thought extortion was illegal. It’s pretty chilly here too, but the sun has been out all day so that is really nice.

johnny is it worth fghting, or are you better off just letting it go?

I’m ready for the garlic bread and salad Dry. How much pasta do you want? I use rice pasta, as I am trying to cut out gluten. I can’t tell the difference, except the price.

Well I have missed all you nice people. I am home now for the evening. I may watch a movie, but I believe it will be an early night for me. We were up late last Night and I have felt sleepy all day.

Johnny I hate it when I get ripped off. Too bad you couldn’t say something to them to change their mind.

Dry Pasta is cheap! I’m still a student don’t forget. :-(

But home made sauce makes up for it.

Shika we have a chain f stores down in some of the states called Trader Joe’s. All of there products are made with decent ingredients and are priced fairly. Their rice pasta is only maybe thirty cents more a pound then semolina, as is their whole wheat.

I eat pasta for one of my meals probably 4 times a week.

We don’t have Trader joe up here cleo, but I manage to stock up when it is on sale. I look for the brown rice pasta because it has more flavour.

And now, sorry to say, it is time to day,

Good Night Gracie!Sorry I missed some of you. :-/

GOODNIGHT GEORGE! SHIKA, any pasta works for me! I love pasta dishes, after all, being 50% Italian, I WAS RAISED ON THAT GREAT STUFF!

I can remember when I was a kid, my Great Aunt Catherine would make spaghetti from scratch! She would work on it all day Saturday, She would mix up the dough, then put a clean tablecloth on her dining room table and lay the pasta out on it, roll it out, then roll it into a roll, slice it into spaghetti slices while the sauce was simmering all day. Then on Sunday, she would make the meatballs, fried chicken, fried hot peppers with garlic and onions, and various other side dishes, including homemade bread! Gawd, I miss her meals! She was a Mail Order Bride from Italy, learned to speak English, but never learned to read it. She was SUCH A SWEET, SWEET LADY! Went to Mass EVERY DAY AT 7 AM, raised her 5 kids and one by one, took my mom, sisters and brother out of the orphange and took them in too. Sorry, I didn’t mean to get maudline here, but it isn’t really. I have GREAT memories of that time in my life!

cleo We don’t have Trader Joe’s here, but rumor has it, that one is moving in to a town 29 miles from here, so if it happens, I will be there to check it out! I think I told you that before?either here or in an email,.

Dry I love your homemade pasta story. I used to make my own pasta and was going to start again last winter, maybe this year. It certainly is good.

Dry you will love Trader Joe’s. If it does come your way and you like chicken, try their Empire brand kosher chicken. Ot is better than free range, regular or any other chicken. Lots of flavor!

Oh cleo LOL! EMPIRE KOSHER chicken! You mean they have spread that far?! We have a plant VERY close to here! When I was in banking, I used to have the Rabbi’s as my customers. There were about 4 or 5 that would come down here, stay for about 6 weeks from NYC, they lived in a trailor. They would bless the chickens before they cut the heads off. I want to tell you, these Rabbi’s were the FILTHIEST, DIRTIEST, people, I have ever met! They came into the bank with their work clothes which were COVERED in chicken blood, they reaked of odors! I had to go there to their trailer one day to get a second sigature on their check before the bank could honor the check, THAT PLACE WAS A PIG STY, and I hate to insult the pigs! Even my Jewish friends found them to be disgusting! I haven’t bought an Empire Kosher chicken since I worked in the bank!

Thanks for destroying my bubble.

SORRY SWEETIE! But it is what if is! I was so shocked!

And with that, I will leave you with nightmares of Rabbi’s in white aprons with, oh never mind! YOU HAVE TO SEE IT FIRST HAND!

Goodnight Nekkid Man!
