In the last few months I lived in Austin, I made a concerted effort to use as much of my pantry and frozen stuff without going to the grocery. Some experimentation occurred, some with good results, including something I call 4 Can Cassarole.

It was 1 can of green beans, 1 of diced tomatoes, one of cream of mushroom soup, and 1 can of peeled potatoes* (all with liquid included), dumped into a casserole dish and tossed into an oven for a while. I had seasoned it with things like pepper, powdered garlic and onion flakes.



* I usually buy fresh potatoes, and don’t recall how I came to possess 2 cans of potatoes. When I make this dish currently, I use fresh potatoes- typically baby Yukons- so now I guess it’s technically 3 Can Cassarole.
 

I think I have the stuff to do that. I even have fresh potatoes. :)
I'm sort of doing the same thing. What I cook and eat now doesn't have to be lugged around when I move.
 

I got to watch a good baseball game tonight, Braves v Padres. It was a pitched battle. It was tied on a couple of different occasions. Braves won in extra innings. It was on Fox so it was a rare chance to watch a game. I had actually turned the TV on hoping to find the GT v UNC football game. Looking at the final score it would have been a fun one too.

I'm not a huge sports guy. I like my local teams. I don't get to watch them often with my basic cable. I'm considering asking Comcast about a sports package. I might also look at the streaming options.

My local MLB team, the Rangers, no longer seem to be on any of the broadcast channels. So I have watched very little BB this year, and only away games for them.

It seems they’ve got a virtually exclusive contract with some cable network not carried by my cable provider.

Not exactly pleased with that. I was planning on buying a new cap this year, but why bother supporting a team I can’t watch?

I understand. I suspect they're on Bally Sports like the Braves. It used to be Fox Sports South. Look to see if that's the case for the Rangers. It might be the name Bally is something you're not used to seeing. It threw me when I looked for it at my sister's place.

The Braves haven't been on local tv in years. I'm surprised. How does a team maintain a local fan base without local coverage? I've listened to a lot of games on the radio while I worked.
 

My mom came by, I served her a bowl of the stuff I cooked last night. She said it was good but needed salt. I rarely add salt to the things I cook. I thought it was good, but I feel the problem with slow cooked vegetables is they lose flavor when overcooked.
 



So, yeah...

Jack's old puter drowned when his basement flooded a couple weeks ago. Replaced the puter but have to wait til next paycheck to see if they can salvage anything off the old puter and external hard drive. New puter funded by 27 hours of OT in the past two weeks - 10 this week, 17 last week. Which, obviously, is why Jack hasn't been around. (As opposed to all the other times he goes two weeks without a post, lol.)
Jack was supposed to work Saturday again this week but they cancelled it, so Jack ended up sleeping for fourteen hours Friday night, lol.
