  1. Cleaned out the fridge today. I now have a shelf dedicated to pickled things in addition to my shelf dedicated to mustard. I don't know why, but that gives me great joy.

    1. Nice. My wife would not be happy if I attempted such a thing. I get the “do you really need that many different mustards/hot sauces/pickles?” question about twice a year.

      1. You should shoot back with "do you really want to put Dijon on a brat?" The mustard gods didn't invent all these different types for humans not to eat them.

          1. I'm no gate keeper on what goes on em. For me, though, it's spicy brown mustard and sauerkraut. Mmmmmm mm.

            1. This thread is reminding me that I will need to make a batch of CH's mustard. AFTER the move.

          2. All beef Hebrew National dogs with Dijon mustard and chopped onion on a lightly toasted split-top N.E. bun - fantastiche! Best when the dog is longer than the bun.

        1. To her, all mustard is gross. She’s anti-condiment in general (other than ketchup on tater tots, and sometimes burgers and hot dogs) so there is not really an answer other than “yes, I really do use that many, and yes, they are actually different.”

          1. Anti-condi-what-now? My fridge is 70% condiments. Like, I'm a good cook, but even the best quiche could use a little hot sauce, you know?

              1. I don't care for Dijon that much. It's better than the fluorescent nonsense that people around here put on sandwiches, though.

    1. I was supposed to be there today as well, but the vacation gods killed my food on a stick dreams.

  2. With so. many. frogs this year, I FINALLY saw my first couple skinks today, both small five-link skinks. Still amazed at not seeing any snakes in months, but I guess that's one contributor to the frog population.

      1. Twins also have taken over the MLB lead in runs scored. Came into today with a 2-run lead over the Yankees and have played 2 less games than them. Red Sox were 14 back of the Twins but have played one less game.

        1. Twins only need 5 runs today to get to 800 runs. Only 7 other Twins teams have scored 800+ runs in a season. Twins record is 877. Franchise record is 892 by the 1930 Senators. Of course, that was in 154 games. Twins will have to score 939 runs to set the franchise record for most runs per game in a season. They're currently on pace for 961 runs.

          1. Record for most runs scored in a season by any team is 1,067 by the '31 Yankees. Don't think we're getting there. Twins have an outside shot at 1,000 runs scored, though, with the schedule they've got remaining.

  3. Tyler Rogers in the game in SF, but because Reyes Moronta just blew out his elbow on a pitch. 😟
