I will say one thing about MO even though I have never been there. Although they are not my favorite team, I have always liked the St. Louis Cardinals. Stan the man Musial was a favorite of mine when I was a kid and the fans I have met when the Nats played them in DC were so nice! (not like some teams, cough cough) Very knowledgeable and polite

Love spaghetti and so grateful for it because it is one of the foods that my DGD loves.

My icicle oraments on my tree. Since they don't make tinsel like they used to, my icicles are the closest thing I have to recreating the reflected lights on my tree.

Ooh I read several books on Mr Disney and no he was not born in Marceline Missouri they moved there. He was born in Chicago

I’ll tell you one more fun fact about Missouri that really I find interesting
Every wedding you will go to at the reception you will have mostaccioli I don’t know why don’t ask I don’t know but it is a standard dish that will be served guaranteed it is so common that I went to a wedding out of state that I was wholeheartedly expecting to have it on the reception line because the people that we’re having the wedding grew up in Missouri and we didn’t have it and I was sad because I just didn’t understand why there was no mostaccioli

The Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

My beloved Dad and beloved late Grandparents along with Champ, my human family especially when I was much younger. Time with my Dad now.

Holy, Holy, Holy, the hymn

God-willing one day soon enjoying three very small pancakes for breakfast at home with my Dad again.

With all of that MO discussion yesterday, I'd like to note that it looks like I may be going there twice this summer. It's sounding like Kansas City area and St. Louis. My previous visits included about 5 days in Branson in the off season and in late 2023, after visiting KU on the Kansas side, we drove from Kansas City to Tulsa. So, pretty much I49 until cutting southwest through Joplin. So, maybe I'll have more MO love by the summer.

Ok, things in threes...

Trilogy Rings - Super popular with engagement rings, but also nice in jewelry in general. My engagement ring is considered a trilogy...center stone is a pear and there's a tapered baguette on each side. I also have two sapphire rings that are trilogies. One was from DH and involves three dark oval sapphires, the center is vertically mounted while the sides are east/west and angle up like a cathedral setting. The other is a trio of vivid blue ovals, all vertical positioning, which was a gift from my parents. I like to combine both sapphire rings on one finger with a round diamond solitaire in the center (a gift from my grandparents). Together, the two trilogies with the solitaire end up looking like a blue flower.

The 3-bite craving approach - There's a theory that I've found helpful that involves three bites. It's not always easy fighting through food noise and sometimes it's better to feed a craving than abstain...especially since that kind of abstinence in some people is known to lead to destructive binges. If I can get my mind clear enough to be responsible with this approach, I take one bite to quiet the craving, one bite to really savor whatever it is that's been consuming my mind, and then one bite to say goodbye. I've heard mixed feelings on this approach but when I'm in the right frame of mind, it's been especially helpful.

Cajun/Creole Holy Trinity - If you watched Emeril's show way back when, you may recall him using the holy trinity in a lot of his cooking. It's diced green bell peppers, onions, and celery sauteed together to form the base of many classic dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, and etouffee. It's similar to the French mirepoix, but bell peppers take the place of carrots. There is ultimately a lot of French influence in Cajun and Creole cuisine, so it's really just a variation born from regional availability and abundance...i.e. ease of getting ingredient. So, this trio of foods come together to bring us some of the most classic and flavorful dishes from the region. I took my older one out to dinner the other night and was just thinking about this as I was diving into a cup of duck and sausage (andouille) gumbo.

Afternoon all,

Things that come in 3s is an interesting one.

1. The number 3 - for some reason, the number 3 had always been one of my favourite numbers and the number I always choose if I'm feeling lucky. No idea why!

2. Ear piercings - like WDWEPCOT, I have 3 pairs of ear piercings which always means 3 sets of earrings to go with.

3. Meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner (or breakfast, dinner and tea for those like me from the North of England). Whenever food is involved is always my favourite time of day!

I'd appreciate it. It's going to be for softball, assuming the schedule holds. One of the girls has an older sister who attended Washington University in St. Louis, so they have some places and suggestions, but I'm up for hearing everyone's advice. Time will be limited but I'm always up for exploring if I have the extra time. At the very least, if you have good ideas for daily walks I might drive out of my way just so I can be outside and not be doing laps around a sports facility.
