Before I 'splain yesterday an' all that stuff, here is the deal.....
For a $32 piece of junk, fake oak, Walmart special cabinet, I'm think'n it looks pretty dad gum good.
But......there are some "rookie cabinet maker" flaws in it. You cain't see them, but I can. An' I wear glasses too. Ya see, when I open that can of polyurethane, it had a dried surface what had to be removed to get to the liquid part. When I got there, the liquid part was like 3 year old varnish.....way too thick. Two heavy coats of that thick stuff was applied. I have a rough surface that could use a sand'n an' recoated with brand spank'n new polyurethane. But for "Sally da house", this will have to do. Check it off the list. I'm happy!!!
It weren't two dad gum hours after tell'n ya how good I felt yesterday, that all hell broke loose. *I had moved that heavy ass cabinet back in "da house* That easy 4 I was tell'n ya bout yesterday morn'n, turn into a hard 7 or 8. That's right on the edge of "bulldozer" pains. That's when my poor old brain kicked into them "bad" thoughts again. How far is it to Texas???
I was hungry, so I ate me up a couple month old "fresh from the hen house" eggs. They looked Ok in the fry pan, but it weren't long, I was sick like a old dog. Aspirin an' Alka Seltzer helped me get through the rest of the day.
I fired up that Weber grill out there so's I could cook me up some chicken. Ok, that sounds simple enough. A little season'n on the chicken, pre heat the grill....an' then burn hell out my supper. Ya see, when ya cook chicken on a grill, ya gotta turn the temp thingy down to low. I see smoke com'n out my Weber, lot's of smoke. What the hell??? I go out there an' turn the temp thingy down. Chicken is flat done on that side.
Did I mention it rained? I ain't talk'n just a little bit of rain.....IT RAINED. Bucket fulls.....2 inches rain water in my yard. But like always, it quit. More expected this afternoon.
Today I won't be do'n much of anything. Although, there is a lot of housework what needs done. Stuff lay'n everwheres again. It don't matter how often I clean up this place, in two days it's all cluttered again. Dang!!! An' there's dishes in the sink what need some attention.
Maybe I'll turn on some "loud" surround sound cajun music. That always puts me in a better mood.
I'm out of here....see ya laters.

I think the cabinet looks terrific, and think I might try to make one myself when I get back from NY. You'll hear the cussin' clear across to Georgia!

Ha, you should have heard me when I was try'n to put them two pics in there. Damn Google!
DeleteIf'n you shake an egg before cracking it open and it rattles, that should give you some indication that it may be a little old. . . Just kidding. I know it is hard to tell if they are too old to eat until after you eat them and get sick. If they don't smell bad, how the heck can you tell??
ReplyDeleteIf you have any doubts then the shake test might be the first thing to try. Then to test to see if the eggs are all right to use, dissolve 2 tablespoons salt in 2 cups cold water, then put the egg in the water. If it sinks, it's good; if it floats, it's too old.
DeleteMonth old eggs? I'm not sure I would even test a month old egg.
thats what i was gonna say, ed. see if they float or not

DeleteYour cabinet looks pretty darn good.
ReplyDeletePreheat the Weber Q 10 minutes turn down to low heat ,,,,, then put the chicken on it , should work great. Does for me 5 years now.
