Leftover Ziti and garlic bread, before they go to be heated up.
I know, Italians don't get the American thing about bread with dinner.
But this is going to rock.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230125/d3e301a36e1fb81668abd2085afb115c.jpg)
I don't believe that to be true. My grandfather who never stepped a foot outside of Italy in his 94 years, never had a meal that didn't include bread. But maybe southern Italy is a whole different thing.
There's even a name for when you use bread to clean up all the leftover sauce in your plate. It's called, fare la scarpetta.

That's suspiciously close to your last name, now it's all starting to make sense. :D

Hehehe. Therefore, I would know. I will agree with Bret that it's not usual to be served bread with butter before your meal in Italy. However, with your meal is something entirely different.

Nice. Look at yesterday's posts. I think ClemsonDave has already spent it for you.

And it figures that it happens on a day when my mom was going to pick them up, so it doesn't even save me a trip to get them. Oh well, let's see if the guy coming later to install a new bathroom fan/light is still able to make it.

Also means I'll need to figure out what to give them for dinner, since she was going to take them out. Lol

We're only getting about an inch and then it turns to rain. School is in session.

This one is different, as it's coming up from the south. Usually we get them from the west and they come across the lake, so it might not come for you afterwards.

It's a shame to because the sunrise was pretty incredible this morning. I assumed it was going to be a beautiful sunny day. Not sure why the camera never truly captures what the eye could see. For example, I never saw even a hint of yellow.

Same with the moon. Sometimes it looks so large in the sky that you can see all the crevasses on the surface. Then you take a photo and it looks like a dot.

Indeed. There was that partial eclipse of the moon several years back, must've been in September, cause we were in Bethlehem, probably for my nephew's birthday. It looked amazing in person and the pictures look like dogshit.

It was something I read on the Internet. So flip a coin whether it's really true. Maybe it's only true about restaurants. Maybe it was bullshit.
I'll take your word, T. ;-)
What I know is I really like baked Ziti.

And happy PayDayWednesday! And then another pay comes this weekend, as we get the last 25% of our gainshare bonus for the year.
Makes me think of the Wells Fargo commercials about getting your check up to two days early... two days early is only for the first deposit (and what does that gain?), then if every paycheck is two days early, it's just a new regular payday.

That's a solid point. I suppose they're just hoping people don't realize that and think they're doing them a favor.

Good morning SoonToSnowDave and SunriseTony.
Snow has started coming down in earnest. The storm has arrived! They say we could get up to an inch an hour. We shall see.
-
Double snow lull.

Radar looks like warmer weather has pushed the storm further north than expected. We're right on the edge of the snow/rain area right now, but nothing is falling. In fact, grass hasn't even been covered yet.

Thinking about it, I don't know that I've been anywhere in Europe where bread is not served, and is usually saved for basically cleaning the plate.

Today is Wednesday, Jan. 25, the 25th day of 2022.
There are 340 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Jan. 25, 1945, the World War II Battle of the Bulge ended as German forces were pushed back to their original positions.
On this date:
In 1533, England’s King Henry VIII secretly married his second wife, Anne Boleyn, who later gave birth to Elizabeth I.
In 1915, America’s first official transcontinental telephone call took place as Alexander Graham Bell, who was in New York, spoke to his former assistant, Thomas Watson, who was in San Francisco, over a line set up by American Telephone & Telegraph.
In 1924, the first Winter Olympic Games opened in Chamonix (shah-moh-NEE’), France.
In 1945, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first community to add fluoride to its public water supply.
In 1971, Charles Manson and three women followers were convicted in Los Angeles of murder and conspiracy in the 1969 slayings of seven people, including actor Sharon Tate.
In 1981, the 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for 444 days arrived in the United States.
In 1993, Sears announced that it would no longer publish its famous century-old catalog.
In 1994, maintaining his innocence, singer Michael Jackson settled a child molestation lawsuit against him; terms were confidential, although the monetary figure was reportedly $22 million.
In 2004, NASA’s Opportunity rover zipped its first pictures of Mars to Earth, showing a surface smooth and dark red in some places, and strewn with fragmented slabs of light bedrock in others.
In 2020, President Donald Trump’s defense team opened its arguments at his first Senate impeachment trial, casting the effort to remove him from office as a politically motivated attempt to subvert the 2016 election and the upcoming 2020 contest. Canada, Australia and Malaysia each reported their first cases of the new coronavirus.

Ten years ago: The U.S. Department of Education declared that students with disabilities had to be given a fair shot to play on a traditional sports team or have their own leagues. Thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators marched through Washington to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to protest the landmark decision that legalized abortion.
Five years ago: President Donald Trump arrived at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland; after meeting there with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump threatened to cut off U.S. aid to the Palestinians unless they negotiated peace with Israel. In an interview in InStyle magazine, Oprah Winfrey said she was not interested in a presidential bid, adding that she doesn’t “have the DNA” for a White House run.
One year ago: A man was found clinging to the hull of an overturned 25-foot boat off Florida; he was the only known survivor from what he said was a group of 40 migrants who had set out for Florida from a chain of islands in the Bahamas. The Navy said it had discharged 23 active-duty sailors for refusing the coronavirus vaccine; it marked the first time the Navy had thrown currently-serving sailors out of the military over the mandatory shots. David Ortiz was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in his first turn on the ballot, while steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were denied entry to Cooperstown in their final year under consideration by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Snow plow came by a couple times in the last 20 minutes. Putting salt down, but also had the plow blade down, despite the complete lack of snow. Sounded like he was taking most of the asphalt with him.
