Maybe the computers of the future will be able to cook for us!

lots of luck with the new computer.

I am just getting around this window 8 laptop. plenty of space on the drive.
Tina likes the windows 7 so I traded mine to her.
I have still to transfer all her religion files and prayers to her computer.
She has so many.

my old deskstop is impacted by  “XP Apocalypse” so it can't function like usual without the right protection.. I've been dragging my feet to buy a new one since last year, Dirk insisted me to get one...it's getting slow with almost no space for my pictures, I bought an external hard drive to store my old files/picture to avoid buying a new PC, but now I can't avoid it any longer, so we ordered one, it will arrive next week.. I don't like using my laptop, esp to upload my pictures, I still don't get use to use it ( I have it for more than a year and only use it for my trips, I'm still not familiar with window 8, yet )..

so no pictures for a while.. today I made some veggies wrap for brunch, sauteed cabbage and tomato with egg, I'm cooking potato and pork in soy sauce for supper.. yesterday we had grilled pork chop, it was delicious.. I took some pics of it, I'll upload it when I get my new desktop ( hopefully it's easy to use, I'm no high tech )

Looks Great Norm.
I see the other pics finally came up! Hmm??
The first look about 15 minutes ago showed only the chickens.
Now it has the rest of the food pics. It looks great!

I had to laugh though! I thought that those chickens were only to be eaten indoors. Could you imagine outside at a picnic table, and if a flie (s) land on the chickens? hahahahaha.... A flap of the back of a hand to woosh them away wouldn't work too well. They would be like giant "Chicken Fly Traps!"

Please forgive me! My Mind sees humor in just about everything!
That's why I couldn't be an altar boy! I would burst out laughing just watching the little old Italian ladies in their black wool coats in the middle of july!
I know, because my Grandmother was one of them!

The reason why they wore those coats, was because underneath, they had their garlic smelling kitchen aprons on; ready to get home and start cooking asap! LOL Plus...it Kept The Flies Away!

Those aprons had pockets too where they kept their anisette toast cookies!
Huh! And we all thought they were praying, because their mouths were moving?
No Way! ..... They were chewing on those cookies a little at the time!
