Burned The Beans

It's a lazy Sunday - 10:30 and I'm still in bed. I put a pot of beans on the stove to cook and then went back to bed until I smelled something burning! I can't remember the last time I burned something. Hopefully I can save the pot! I have a ton of things I SHOULD be doing (if anyone sees a lost ambition, please send the the poor thing back to me please). Mostly I have just been reading and posting. I did put a new post out on my blog (you can get to it from my profile page). Maybe it was the long buble bath last night and the lingering smell of the herbs and incense that has me feeling so lazy.

Anyone have a pot of coffee or good tea ready? I'm to lazy to make my own. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

Gee, Honey.....

I know how you feel....

I'm still in my robe and it's 11:55am....

What a slacker I am!

I get up through the week at 5:20am to get ready for work and I just slacked off today!

Oh, and THAT'S what I smelled burning! Well, let the pot soak all day and maybe you can save it.

What were you going to make with the beans?

I grew up in Georgia and we ate beans almost every day...I can't stand the sight or smell of beans anymore..Pinto beans, butter beans, navy beans, kidney beans...YUCK!!!!

NOW what are you going to cook?

LOL

Thanks for the Sunday wishes, Michele. I'm hoping for a nice day, and if the rain holds off, cooking some burgers on the BBQ. I hope the rest of your day

goes better than it started.

I do have to ask you, hon, what in the world are you doing cooking beans at that hour? :blink:

Beans for breakfast? Ewwwww.

HUGS

Well Carolyn Marie, since I normally get about around 4:30 - putting on beans at 9 am doesn't see that early. Actually in this case I was cooking some lentils ( not exactly a bean ) to be used later. Sorry Donna Jean but I still like my beans - How about for you I cook a nice piece of salmon with lemon and capers with a nice salad? Any rate, I did make another batch of lentils (without burning this time) and then combined them with lima beans, ham, onions, tomatoes and carrots in chicken stock and baked for 2 hours - just finished eating a couple of bowls. Weekends, when Jen is gone, is my time to cook those dishes she doesn't care for - and beans are at the top of her list!

I did go get the Sunday paper (still in PJ's) and got the notion of planting Musculn and peas in my tiny (4 X 10 ft) vegitable garden so I got one thing done - I also uncovered the lotus pond. Two things sounds like enough for the day - and I didn't even need to get out of my P.J's. I have about 1/4 acre of flower gardens that were completly neglected this last year and I think they will be neglected this year too.

Mmmmm, your beans or I should say lentils sound so yummy! I love baked beans with onion, peppers, bacon and a little brown sugar thrown in there along with different spices and we cannot forget the cornbread. Lol. Delicious

      My condolences to the people of WA.  A huge warning about that type of politician though, those who broadcast the Anti-Trans message rarely if ever attend to any important legislative issues to benefit their constituency.  They are mostly single trick dogs, whose trick is to empty their food bowl and whine for more food.

      This stuff seems to be the major talking point for "conservatives" these days.  Just shows that they don't know what they're talking about, and don't particularly care.

      You are both beautiful.  Have fun.

      Mother's Day, so I thought I'd do the right thing and cook. So, we got Chinese takeaway! 😆   Actually, we planned it days ago, just thinking that tonight we would treat ourselves. Complete with a lovely bottle of Cab Sav.
    • Mirrabooka
      Exactly.   A plain old "Good morning" should always suffice, for example, whether the recipient expects a gender specific greeting or not.

      Hi awkward yet sweet, yeah, I tried dumping her but my current health insurance keeps directing me back to her as my primary, yet there are other doctors to choose from, but they are far away.
    • Ladypcnj
      Hi Birdie, I can relate to that.

      This sort of stuff makes my blood boil. A prospective state politician has gained approval from his party's state council to run in their state election next year.   He once stated that the + part of LGBTQIA+ is where pedophiles are categorized.   For clarity, in Australia the Liberal party is our main conservative party. They have lurched further to the right over the past 10 years or so. Our main progressive, union backed party is Labor.   WA Liberal party approves Dr Thomas Brough, candidate who linked LGBTQIA+ community with paedophiles - ABC News

      Happy Mother’s Day    I have to be at church earlier than normal for a mic check.  I have been going over what I am to say, both silently reading and reading it aloud.  My concern is that my voice will freeze as it sometimes does.     I felt I was honored very highly yesterday by my minister and supporter on my journey.  He and another minister are Standing together to become the next co-moderators of the Presbyterian Church (USA).  They included me to receive an advance copy of their initial submission.  I was one of only 6 people listed on the email to receive this.  Later this week it will go out to all the voting commissioners that will be in Salt Lake City for the meeting.  I have asked to be allowed to attend the meeting to support him and Rev CeeCee Armstrong, whom he is standing with.    We’ll time to get ready .   Willow

      Nup. Not an option. You need to keep going and keep us all in the loop, and we need to keep seeing your beautiful smile!   Party, schmarty. I'm 61 and haven't had a birthday party since I was 30. Even that was just a crummy meal at the pub with a few friends who we have since lost contact with. Don't sweat it.

      On behalf of everyone reading your entries here @Sally Stone, THANK YOU for creating such an informative thread. But there is one thing you might have neglected to say at the end, and that is, "And they all lived happily ever after!" ❤️   Reno sounds like a pretty good place to call home. I understand the attraction of living in a place that is not too big but not too small.   I look forward to reading your subsequent posts about specific aspects of your journey.

      Hi and welcome. A few things...   1. You're right, you can't trust your friends w/r/t the question of passing. How would they even know if you pass or not? My sister used to do the same thing, telling me that no-one knew I was trans and that to her I just looked like a cis woman. I still don't know if she was serious or just trying to make me feel good, but I learned to not listen to her on that topic.   2. Buuuut, having said that, I thought I looked good, and I think that is all she was really trying to tell me, that she liked how I looked as a woman. Maybe this is obvious, but I feel it gets overlooked: passing and looking good are not the same thing, not even remotely. Your friends (I presume) are trying to tell you that you look good as you are.   3. Having said all that, I think non-passing transmascs have a harder time than us non-passing transfemmes. All I have to do to get gendered correctly 95% of the time is wear a dress and makeup and only a few seriously ignorant folks and diehard transphobes misgender me. For you, it's much harder to find signifiers powerful enough to send the same message.   So in short, I don't have any answers, except that you're right, it sucks, and I hope the situation improves over time. But passing isn't everything. Maybe you're right, and in a less conservative state it wouldn't happen so often, because you'd have more people like you surrounding you. I know that where I chose to live while transitioning has been a big part of making the process a positive experience. I'd hate to be in Texas atm.

      Thank you, ladies.   At the time I went from euphoric (my normal state) to not euphoric in an instant, and the lingering thought was one of self-doubt, manifesting itself with the unsolved question that maybe I never really felt like I had the soul of a woman, I just thought I did. I know I'm not the only one to ever feel this way. All part of the ride on this roller coaster I guess.   Yep, and yep. Makes sense now.
