Good morning!!!!

Trying to make some beer bread. Waiting to see if it will rise. Unfortunately for Don, it has 1/4 cup of extra light EVOO. Using Shiner Bock and honey for this batch.....well, it rose I see, time to put it in the oven.

1/4 cup olive oil 490 calories.
1 serving of bluebell ice cream 140 calories.

You have made your choice.

Drew the daily dose of zinc for an adult male is 11mg. A lot of foods have trace amounts and you probably get half if not all every day. Fortified cereal gives up to 1/4 of that amount. Oats and pumpkin seeds on the plant side are high and most meats contain zinc also.

Also all those cooking beans in the Instant Pot soak your beans to eliminate a large percentage of phytates. Many vegan sources of zinc contain phytates, which are anti-nutrients that can inhibit the absorption of zinc and other nutrients.

No project progress today, opted for more important stuff.
Today was wife’s birthday. Not able to take her out given current environment, so ....
Made dinner (not so unusual), but also baked her a cake. Not being a planned event was somewhat limited by stuff on hand. Even made her a buttercream frosting. I’ll spare you my singing.

I've bookmarked that link, Ron, because the last bottle standing in my liquor cabinets will be the 1.75 of brandy I bought by mistake, and all that extra stuff in the glass looks like it would do a good job of killing the taste.:laughing:

You can make a great bananas foster, or cherries flambe.....Ron, that was funny. I get the northern humor, having a good buddy from Wisconsin, and watching the old Mackenzie brothers' beer truck movie.

Good evening all. 50F this morning, .1 inch in rain gauge, fog. Fog most of day, wind stayed light and high temp was 57F. Conservation of energy day, made wife breakfast for lunch, she took two naps today me 0. Also finished spaghetti sauce, was amazing how much flavor changed as it reduced, was sweating bullets till after it cooked for 2 1/2 hours.
NG I should have taken typing in HS, finger nowhere near as fast as brain and like you the brain ain't what it used to be.
Ron, my wife would not survive without milk, I am becoming lactose intolerant
RNG glad you got the propane line repaired, always nice to have the right tool on hand.
Rip sorry to hear about your knee, You and Ted can trade notes. Nice pics
Bird I can understand that. You had to get better out of self defense.
Don, thanks for DL info, got mine upgraded for this year for RealId but it is still color.
James is your dock fixed or floating, can't tell from photo.
Drew nice of you to call your friend, hope you get room cleaned out.
Hawkeye, good to hear you think retirement will work for you, I thought it started tomorrow.
Ron, that video was a kill, Then watched his midwest translator video.
Roy glad you are getting the snow and not me.
Buckeye, seems like when we have bill issue get nasty email or cut off, mail here is not as reliable but wife really wants paper.
David hope Sophie enjoyed your efforts.
prayers for all
Stay safe and healthy especially you RNG

Dad turns 96 in a couple hours. Sad I could not go see him. Last year we had a big party for 95.

When I first saw your cake in the corner of your post I thought it was a pic of the coronavirus. I feel the need to apologize.
