Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.
I made parmesan crisps. I haven’t done that in a long time. I sprinkle them with Old Bay seasoning. I made a couple with smoked paprika (the darker ones in the picture below). They taste good too, but I like the Old Bay better.
I cooked these until they were crispy. I like them. I also like when they have some chewiness. Actually, I think I like them any way they’re made, because they’re cheese. Mmm… cheese…
This was in my mailbox today:
It’s a paper announcing the memorial service of my neighbor. I knew him. He was so friendly, and was always sitting in a lawn chair in his driveway – usually next to a cat.
I posted about him a year and a half ago.
I’m sorry to hear that he has died. I am so glad that someone put this flyer in my mailbox. What a nice idea. Now instead of me just wondering why I never see Dave in his driveway any more, I know why.
I wish I could go to his memorial service, but… wait… I just looked at the address of that place. It’s right down the street from school. Maybe I COULD go. I’d have to have coverage before and after lunch…. I’m going to look into it.
On Saturday, I started wearing my second set of tooth trays. I thought I’d write down some of my observances about the experience so far.
I’m supposed to wear each set of trays for two weeks, then switch to the next one.
The trays make me think about eating before I eat, since I have to pull them out first. I think I’m eating fewer snacks 🙂
The trays are MUCH better for wearing as an anti-grind measure at night. My old night-guard was too squishy and made my jaw hurt.
When I suck air between my teeth and dry out the trays, I can slide them against each other, and they squeak.
The new set of trays put noticeable pressure on my teeth. I’m curious to find out how long it will take for me to be able to see a difference in how my teeth look.
There are little stud-thingies on my teeth that the orthodontist glued on. The trays grip onto them to be more effective. When my trays are off, the studs feel weird.
I’ve been using fizzy tablets to clean my trays. I did Polident brand, and now I’m trying some brand called Retainer Brite. I do like how they feel after I’ve cleaned them. It does look like coffee stains don’t come out entirely though. The old trays aren’t as clear as the new ones. In the picture below, the old trays are on the right:
Yesterday I went to Carlsbad (down toward San Diego). I visited a flower farm that lets people visit and take pictures and buy pricy refreshments. It was fun!
They had a lot of fun flower things. Here’s a patch of clover where they encourage you to try to find a four leaf clover:
They had a maze made out of sweet pea plants. The flowers smelled so good!
They also had an orchid green house. So beautiful!
But the main attraction was their flower fields. They grow ranunculus flowers. Ranunculuses are relatives of buttercups, but they are much bigger and come in many colors:
They plant seeds, and at the end of the season, dig up the tubers to be sold at garden centers all around the world. Cool!
Some of the boys in the eighth grade are in a community flag football league, and they invited me to see a game yesterday after school. It was just down the hill from our campus at a very large public field.
It was fun to watch the game. There are a LOT of rules for flag football.
The boys played well. And they won! Woo hoo! Good job, boys!

Mmmmmmmm…………..cheese…….
I’ve never thought about seasoning them. That’s an interesting idea!
