Good morning, people. It’s hot as hell here in Texas and completely typical for July. At this time of year I’m perfectly content to be a housebound senior citizen with mobility issues because nobody wants to go outside, anyway, due to the following two-week forecast. Unfortunately, it fails to show the humidity (about 55%, like a fucking swamp) and the heat index (unbearable). Plus there’s no rain in the forecast whatsoever.
I’ve got TWO HUGE NEWS STORIES to share with y’all today! First, here’s a never-before seen picture of Pluto, as glimpsed by the New Horizons spacecraft:
And second, former president George H.W. Bush, 91, fell down at home yesterday while attempting to lift a large bag of money and broke his neck. I can’t believe this will affect his lifestyle to any significant degree since he’s already confined to a wheelchair. His retirement hobbies include breathing, sitting and collecting socks.
I’ve got another brilliant new recipe for senior citizens from the Howdygram test kitchens! This time it’s
SPEEDY LOW-CARB PASTA PUDDING FOR OLD PEOPLE WITH CINNAMON AND DIABETES, a tasty, easy little dessert that you don’t have to share. It’s a rice pudding knockoff made with
Ciao Carb pasta rice!
So here’s what you do. Scoop one cup of cooked (and chilled) pasta rice into a nice bowl, dump in four little containers of Jell-O sugar-free vanilla pudding and moosh it all together. Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.
That’s it!
FYI, about once a week Sam cooks up a double batch of pasta rice and we store it in the fridge in an air-tight plastic container. Just simmer two bags in eight cups of water with a dash of salt for about 25 minutes until all the water is absorbed.
This shit is fabulous and versatile. We eat it every day.
Sam is at
Wal-Mart as I write this post, picking up my prescription for Gabapentin and a few other essential whatnots, and I’m holding down the fort here at Howdygram headquarters while I wait for Brad from
Re-Bath to install our new vanity top and cement a slab of Venetian stone to the side of our garden tub in the master bathroom. Brad is supposed to be here around 10 a.m. and I’m exceptionally excited.
I have to eat something now. Thank you for reading this.
