A foggy Night

I had to let the little dogs out last night around 7:45 pm

I stepped out onto the porch while the boys did there usual stuff, I was amazed at how still the air was. It was cold and crisp about 30 degrees
As I exhaled you could see my breath, just hang there, suspended, barely dissapating, barely moving it seemed sureal, almost magical.
The fog was coming in and you could barely see lights on houses just across the fields. There was no traffic and few sounds everything seemed to be asleep or dead.
After a few minutes the boys were ready to come in and we all headed for the door , Safe and warm back inside the house

I love working on computers

Most of the time I love working on computers.
I love the challenge of finding problems and broken parts and fixing them .
There is a great deal of ego in the field of computers those of us that know how to fix them don't always communicate well with those who don't . I suggested today that if you come across a word you don't understand then you need to look it up and learn how it is used and what it means
The user will have a better time getting their puter fixed if they can talk the same language
Learn the acronyms and the language and you can eliminate most problems

Making Runza's

I finally made the cabbage burgers I was going to make all week

I started with about 4 lbs lean ground beef and one onion and a head of cabbage
I thawed 5 loaves of frozen white bread dough in the oven with a pan of hot water under them

I cooked the hamburger and onion together with salt and pepper and a little garlic salt
I cooked the meat with water to minimize the splatter and to infuse the meat with the onion taste

I fully drained the meat and set it aside
I chopped the cabbage medium and cooked it in water with a little sugar
I drained it when it was fully cooked and added it to the meat mixture

I pulled the dough out and pinched off a small handful and stretched it out over my hand and spooned the mixture into the center , then folded over the dough to seal in the cabbage &meat and placed in greased baking pans till all the dough was used up .

They really taste like runza's
I wish you could taste them
