Weekend Questions!

 

Question September 16: Are you getting out of the house to do anything fun this weekend? If so, care to post a picture? If not, what's keeping you from getting out?

 

Question September 17: Did you get any hobbying done over the weekend? If so, care to show us a picture of what you're working on?

 

Bonus: If you answered no to both of the above, can you share a picture of what you're getting up to? 

 

I just kind of want to see everyone sharing pictures!

 

 

I unfortunately (and finally) unlocked the achievement, "The Common Cold" earlier this week, so Saturday was still recovering.

 

I felt better on Sunday, so my boyfriend and I went out for a bit. I was appreciative that he handled all the people interactions and we got the knishes to go. I stayed masked up and out of the way!

 

I wanted to use a Joann coupon before it expired with some store credit I had for my other hobby! I bought a bunch of embroidery floss, and it knocked 20% off of every entry. All 135 of them.... I made sure to have all the UPCs in the same direction and we chatted for a bit so it wasn't the worst, the cashier was thankful but the receipt was wild!!

We also went to the bookstore and each bought a new book! And I tried a knish for the first time!!

Question September 18: Today is National Cheeseburger Day. Do you like cheeseburgers (either beef or some other meat/meat alternative)? If so what are your favorite burger toppings? What kind of side dishes do you like with your burger?

 

@TGP, this is the day you've been practicing for!

 

TGP, you posted those photos a day early! You've got superpowers!

 

Yeeeah, @Cranky Dog's got it, same for me across the board! 😄I love me some messy burgers with extra grilled onions and jalapeños and cheeeeese. And now I want one....

Yes, I like Mustard, Kettsup, Onion and Mushroom toppings.  For side dish I like Onion Rings.  Much better than fries.

I prefer a standard hamburger with lettuce, pickle, and tomato or ketchup.

Depends on who is frying them.  I'll take either, done well.

This was today’s National ^^ Cheeseburger Day Cheeseburger. 
 

If I do a proper food log this sentence will become a link.

Bacon, grilled onions and blue cheese is a great direction, another is jalapeño, pepper Jack and habanero.  The latter is my go-to at the local fancy-pants burger joint, the Tipsy Cow.

Yes, yes I do.

I do not like pickles or mushrooms.  Everything else is game.

Yes, yes I like sides.  🙂

 

Tonight, coincidentally was left over (we had a bunch of stuff prepared in case the power went out over the weekend) burgers (old cheddar, ketchup and mustard) and potato salad.

I love cheeseburgers.  Similar meats, like bison, are fine too.  I find most turkey burgers disappointing.  As far as veggie burgers, it depends; in general, the more it tries to be like a burger the less I like it.  I have had some very good black bean "burgers" that tasted nothing like burgers but were delicious.  The one exception to this general rule was a taro burger I had at a tiny little local restaurant in Hawaii, which was one of the best burgers (of any kind) I've ever had despite being meatless.  I'm flexible on the toppings; mayo and mustard are good, but so is barbecue sauce.  Guacamole works well too.  Lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions are all good.  You can keep the ketchup.

Finally, I doubt I will ever go to ReaperCon in person. It's not that I'm not a people person, it's just that given my self-discovery journey of mini mini con, I'd rather go to a con to play games. 

 

 

One of the things I like best about ReaperCon is that there are real choices about how to experience it.  Though I have focused on classes in my first two visits, next year I'm thinking I might focus mostly on gaming instead.  One could go just to play games, and fit in a bit of painting between the games.  I have found I prefer gamers who paint (or painters who game!) to run-of-the-mill gamers.

Oh yeah, cheeseburgers! Grilled onions, sliced tomato, mustard, dill pickles, yum!

Also, including a picture of the Horseshoe, an open faced cheeseburger covered in melted cheese and fries!

Classic ketchup and Dijon mustard is good, though honey mustard is also particularly delectable.

I do, in fact, like cheeseburgers. 

 

My favorite toppings vary depending on my mood,  but can include: mustard onion (raw), pickle, lettuce, tomato, jalapeño, BBQ sauce, Tabasco sauce, mayonnaise, American or cheddar cheese, and just about anything else that I think would taste good on it. There will always be a distinct lack of ketchup when making my own, but I tolerate it when getting fast food. Nix the bun if I'm trying to stay away from carbs. 

 

Side dishes are usually fries or onion rings, or a salad if I'm trying to go low carb.

Question September 19: What's the earliest time of day you are required to get out of bed for work/adult responsibilities? 

 

Brought to you by a guy who had to roll out of bed at 5AM today. 

5:20 am.

Yes, that extra 20 minutes matters.

5 AM, and today I have the pleasure of having almost a triple load because of both having a driver who decided to make himself unavailable for the entire month and also because the beginning of school means more books to the libraries. Oh, and I'm driving all 4 days this week and half of those days have extra loads. Yay.

Normally, 6:30.

If I'm on call and there is server patching, whatever stupid time they feel like putting in the change request.  Last time was 5 am.
