Ruby loves playing fetch. So she is getting a lot of that now that Daddy is at home all of the time.
Throw the ball, Daddy.
I've been doing chores, cleaning house. Also did a bunch of yardwork yesterday, mowing the two areas where grass grows (most of my lot is just bare dirt) and pulling nasty goat's head up. That plant has a very pokey seed cover that sticks to everything and is painful.
I also sat in front of my computer and transcribed newspaper articles from 1907. Occasionally I come across articles mentioning my relatives.
I pulled out my two Better Homes and Garden cookbooks. Mother gave me one in 1982 for a Christmas present. Years ago I threw out the meat chapters. I found this recipe and decided to make it. As is typical, it is bland. The Better Homes and Garden staff did not believe in adding spices and herbs to most recipes. I added red bell pepper, ground black pepper, and grated parm cheese to make the recipe more interesting. I not a particularly annoying thing for this cookbook. Instead of listing salt with all of the ingredients, it is always down in the actual recipe. Who thought of this moronic ingredient placement, I hope they got fired.
Better Homes.
It took longer to bake than the recipe called for. It was also slightly wet, I guess the moisture came out of the corn. It was okay, but not the best recipe ever.
Corn custard pudding.
