OT - Eff Off Friday | StepTalk.org

We made it to Friday! Raise your cup to survivng another week of "What the Hell now?!"

Is anyone else counting the hours until the end of the work day? Just under 5 hours for me and - since I'm currently WFH - I will be doing a mental sprint for the door! What a week.

Eff off to:

Middle-aged acne. Yes, I know that unless I live to be 110, I am a tad past middle-age. Regardless, these effing ZITS are totally bogus at my age. Sheesh!
The 3 Cs
- Cancer
- Covid
- cKing Pita (Hey, 'k' sounds like the 'c' in the first two, so why not? Should I go with Craptastic KP? Or I could start putting an apostrophe before 'King (shades of 'Ho) and King is short for farKing...)
Me. DH was sooooooo excited to show me the 30 pounds of chicken quarters he got. Woo hoo! I tried to be enthusiastic, but that's my least favorite part of the chicken. Apparently, DH thought I've been sacrificing "the good meat" for the last 10 years because he gets the thighs, legs, and wings of the roast chicken and I get the "bland boobs". (Dammit, I LIKE those boobs!) So now I have to figure out what meals to make that I will eat out of those effing chicken quarters.
- Chicken Black Bean Chili
- Chicken stew
- Chicken ala 'King
- Aniki drinks a Sriacha Mary to kill her tastebuds before eating those effing quarters
- STalkers generously share recipes that will mask the taste of the legs and thighs

Wishing you a stress-free, enjoyable weekend!

Happy Friday Aniki, sorry I

Happy Friday Aniki, sorry I have no recipes for chicken quarters, we are a breast family.

Eff off to Cancer and Covid!

I'd been buying only breasts for many years (aside from chowing down on some tasty wings), but DH luuuuuuvs the other parts, so buying whole chickens worked out well. LIttle did I know he thought I'd been missing out all of these years. Sigh...

Eff off

- To Distance learning. As I am learning, being a parent wrt schooling is HARD. Distance learning is HARDER.

- To Munchkin not telling us she left her school computer at our house until last night. Shes failing 3 classes, and was supposed to be working on assignments since we "found out" by logging into the Parent Portal, which I finally was able to figure out how to get into.

- To Toxic Troll, who put herself as main contact, however has not been monitoring the email, so of course she didnt know that kiddo is failing ORCHESTRA. And I know this because the orchestra teacher emailed me telling me she sent 2 notices of ZERO work being done the ENTIRE school year, since August.

- To Munchkin again. Her one and only job was school and she hasnt been doing her job. Ill be darned if Im supporting a kiddo who isnt doing her job.

CLove, your post makes me

CLove, your post makes me want to day drink. Well, it IS Friday and I only have one more zoom meeting...LOL

TT should be TTT (Toxic Twatwaffley Troll). She's so bloody useless! I'm wondering if Munchkin is feeling a bit overwhelmed with the transition to HS being remote. I know you'll be working with your DH and Munchkin to get her back on track. You're such a good and caring lady. *give_rose*

Partial Eff off Friday.

Partial Eff off Friday. Finally finished a hellish close week, but can't drink tonight because of donating blood tomorrow morning.

Justshootme, good on you!

Justshootme, good on you! What about treating yourself to a milkshake or a decadent dessert?

Now that you mention it, I

Now that you mention it, I think I might have a Magnum ice cream bar in the freezer!

Yum! yahoo

Yum! *yahoo*

FRIDAY! YAY!

It's been a helluva busy week at work. However, I'm acing it and my manager loves me, the division director is very pleased and so is the cranky-ish other manager I work with (he actually gave me a very good annual review!). So pat on my back.

DH is picking up burgers to go from our local diner tonight for dinner and I'll pop a good bottle of vino to go with 'em. YSD was given no choice, she will also get a burger (they are super good). She won't touch the french fries but more for us!

The last two days on my run I've seen deer, a hawk, blue heron, a bunny (someone relased some pet bunnies a couple years ago and the black one is still going strong). Super cool. I heard the hawk this morning call out but couldn't see it.

YSD will be with us for two solid weeks, week before and then week of Xmas as usual. DH was complaining about Xmas decorations - I'm like, #1 - it's DECEMBER people put up decorations now per usual in the neighborhood and #2 What are you complaining about, you don't put them up and you don't help take them down?! FFS.

Realised I need to make holiday cookies for me and the neighbors (vastly cutting down quantity this year as I usually make a bunch for work too). Spritz cookies and rum balls. Gorgeous things. I'm going to attempt to make panettone (Italian sweet holiday bread) this weekend; if it works out I'll make more.

Cover, it sounds like you're

Cover, it sounds like you're having an awesome week. Woo hoo!!!

Rum balls? Ooooooooooo.... I could use some rum balls. Or bourbon balls. Nom nom nom...

Take a standard rum ball

Take a standard rum ball/bourbon ball recipe. Don't use Nilla wafers, use shortbread. Then use gourmet chocolate, not hershey's. Then use high-quality alcohol, not the cheap stuff FGS (plus you'll drink the remaining stuff). THAT makes a super good treat.

Oh, I like the chicken quarters too. Can you make enchiladas or pulled chicken of some sort? Tacos? Burritos? oh that sounds gooood.

Thank you so much for sharing

Thank you so much for sharing! Using shortbread obviously makes a difference (I find Nilla wafers a bit 'chemically'). Lady, I don't drink cheap stuff! Do you think Makers Mark reserve is overkill?

DH might eat enchiladas and he loves my pulled chicken. I've never tried making it with quarters - only boneless chicken breasts. I definitely need to surf the web for more ideas because I am NOT making that chicken schwarma I found!

Heck no. I buy whatever

Heck no. I buy whatever premium small batch booze is available. It's not cheap.

For the chicken you should stay with recipes that disguise the texture as dark meat is differnt than white. And strong flavors will help you too. We're making goose for Xmas - all dark meat! Have no idea what YSD will eat but that's not my issue, it's allllll DH's idea.

It's not the texture; it's

It's not the texture; it's the taste. I would rather have a vegan meal. Gonna have to suck it up though... *unknw*
