@LnzyHou Jalapeños freeze remarkably well when sliced into rounds and put into Ziploc bags. They keep even better if you can get your hands on a vacuum bag sealer - the kind that uses a hand-held pump. That'll keep the frost from getting in.

I forgot to give fair credit to the source for my sausages. You should visit Slovacek's the next time you're traveling I-35 between Dallas and Austin. Good stuff is to be found therein.

Lunch is in the oven. It's a mix of country link sausages (beef and green onion) I got from Slovacek's in the town of West, TX (just north of Waco) and a box of Betty Crocker Julienne potato casserole, slightly doctored with cream instead of milk and with some extra herbs and spices from Penzey's. Everything's cooking at 375°F for 40 minutes. I'll report back after consumption.

I'm going to try and make lunch. Sausages and potato casserole. I'll be back soon.

@Lindy We get those in our backyard, along with their caterpillars. My wife has planted several bushes and other plants conducive to their reproduction and growth over the years.

@thereal_renaissance_man Wow, thank you! I'm glad you like it, especially the ending. I worked hard on that bit. Much obliged!

@KAutumnrain Looks intriguing. I haven't run a tracker since I used Fasttracker II to make the soundtrack to the game Stargunner back in 1996. Let me know how it turns out, eh?

@KAutumnrain What DAW are you transferring from, and what DAW are you transferring to? I ask because I'm currently in limbo on my own DAW (Cakewalk by Bandlab), and I don't know if I'm going to stick with it when it transitions to Sonar or not.

@ToolPackinMama Trust me - talent is nothing unless you're lucky enough to get someone looking at your sheet music (or PDFs, as the case may be). I think the old saying goes, "I'd rather be lucky than good." I'll take both if I can get 'em, though. 😜

@imafoal Oh, I do wish you the absolute best of luck. I really do.

@jaunty Thank you for the favorite, and good morning to you!

( @th3j35t3r , I hope you won't get mad if I post this for the people who missed it early this morning. Thank you!)

Still looking for feedback on my new arrangement for concert band / wind ensemble, please. Any feedback at all would be appreciated - you wouldn't have to take on the whole thing at once. Thank you!

@BrightEyedDyer Thank you for sharing that thread. I sympathize with your chronic pain as a sufferer myself (40mg of Dilaudid a day), and I hope your situation does not get any worse. I look forward to seeing you in the future here on CoSo.

If the universe was fair - Trumps official presidential portrait would be a courtroom sketch.

Thanks Stuey. 💙 I hope your day is awesome.

@thedisasterautist The less "goddamn stupid" of us have turned to a nifty little program called 'Social Fixer" to get rid of the smegging suggested posts that Facebook keeps trying to shove down our throats. Hit up socialfixer.com and give it a try.

@CanisVeritum That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming that for me.

What kind of coverage are the networks/news channels carrying, then? I'd switch over and check for myself, but I'm kind of watching something on a local channel and don't want to switch away.
