  • I had a family friend of my Nana from Hungary make a dessert from blueberries before my eyes when I was 14.

    Rinse and place blueberries in a saucepan. If they’re a bit tart, add 1 or 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Warm of medium heat until some of the berries pop, creating juice. Optionally, add 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice. Remove from heat and let cool. Serve warm or chilled with a large dollop of sour cream.

    I have long fantasized about doing this exact same thing, especially to MAGA-types who somehow got my address and are mailing me requests for donations. Someone in those groups as well as THE SALVATION ARMY have discovered that those postage guaranteed reply envelopes cost money and prompt this response. So now all that stuff requires a stamp if you want to reply. I hope that’s cut down on their fundraising efforts.

    My father’s career advise to my brother and me was “Make lots of money so I can come live with you when I get old.”

    My brother didn’t like that advise so he did a bunch of research and asked a bunch of people about their careers. He got a masters in an Engineering field but hated working in that field. So he got another masters. He doesn’t use it for his career.

    I studied Chemistry and left grad school to do software development with no degree in it (it was the 80s). I never used my degree either.

    Confronting my dad about his bad career advise would have just gotten his Standard Response to Criticism™–But I’m lovable.

    And no he never lived with either of us. But then he never go old.
