for the week.)\u00a0 Potato soup with chicken<font face=\"Arial\">-andouille sausage.\u00a0 That was about it for the evening&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure how much mileage one could reasonably expect me to stretch that into.\u00a0 After dinner we watched &#8220;Black Sheep,&#8221; which could probably be considered one of the less-than-classic of the <\/font>Chris Farley\/David Spade movies.\u00a0 It passed the time though.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday comprised the bulk of our weekend entertainment value.\u00a0 The Martins came down and joined us at the Brooksider to watch the Chiefs playoff game.\u00a0 Mind you, the game itself didn&#8217;t provide much entertainment value, but it was a diversion.\u00a0 The &#8216;Sider was in good form too; packed wall-to-wall with rather enthusiastic fans.\u00a0 Everybody stayed for the duration of the debacle, ourselves included.\u00a0 After the game, we trotted down the street and had dinner at Jalapenos.\u00a0 In a rather exciting and shocking twist to our weekend, they had changed their menu!!\u00a0 I opted for one of their new items, the tilapia.\u00a0 It was a decent-sized, heavily seasoned slab &#8216;o pescado, served with flour tortillas and rice.\u00a0 It was good&#8230; perhaps the seasoning was a little much.\u00a0 After dinner we headed back to our ranch, where we played a few games of Pitch and Euchre while watching the Dallas\/Seattle game.\u00a0 (Which proved quite a bit more entertaining than the home-town game&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Sunday, still reeling from the shock of the new Jalape\u00f1os menu, we hunkered down in the safe confines of our house.\u00a0 We made two more pots of soup; A tasty white chili and an interesting new recipe with sausage and artichokes.\u00a0 Both came out rather well, and I&#8217;d say we&#8217;re set on lunches for the rest of the week.\u00a0 After that we hooked up the back speakers in our new surround sound setup, and watched a combination of movies and football games for the rest of the day.\u00a0 Wow&#8230; the surround sound adds quite a new dimension to the TV; I didn&#8217;t think it would make that much difference.<\/p>\n<p>Well that&#8217;s really about it for the weekend.\u00a0 The scooter\/moped project is coming nicely.\u00a0 I rode it in to work three out of the four days last week, and hopped on it for this mornings commute also.\u00a0 I filled it up for the first time last week; cost me $4.50 for premium.\u00a0 Gotta like that.\u00a0 I have also found an answer to the question I posed to myself when buying this thing;\u00a0 &#8220;How cold could I possibly get in six short miles??&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It occurred to me lately just how silly the titles of these things are.\u00a0 But, if you don&#8217;t enter a title, it looks funny.\u00a0 So just ignore them.\u00a0 Or, know that at least 5 seconds of thought went into it, and it may or may not have some vague association with some bit of content [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
