Weekend wrapup

On Friday I got the latest Covid shot, plus a flu shot. Not sure if it was from doing them at the same time, or because it was my first time for the Moderna product, but by Saturday afternoon I felt all kinds of awful. Fortunately that only lasted a few hours, and by Sunday afternoon I felt fine.
Sunday we had a wedding to go to in Houston. I thought my one and only suit coat (only used for weddings these days) was in our Houston outpost, because in fact I had checked the closet in San Marcos and did not find it. But Mrs. Roach suddenly was all mad because it wasn't in the closet in Houston, and sure enough, no coat. I was going to just show up in shirt and tie, but decided I had to at least make an effort to get my hands on one. So I drug my butt to Jos A Banks and by God I found a sport coat on the discount rack that fit me, with a couple of hours to spare. So I showed up at the event lookin' sharp with a mollified wife and feeling like a hero.
Here's visual evidence of having attended a wedding:

Saturday I was a bunch of junk around the house and errands. One errand was picking up a new seat post clamp for one of my bicycles that came with a janky QR clamp. This turned into needing to go to several shops until I finally found one that had an allen bolt clamp in stock. Crazy.
Sunday was a day of food prep. Made carnitas and barbacoa for the freezer. Smoked a chuck roast like a brisket and it turned out damn good. Surprisingly good.

Saturday - not much
Sunday - had the kids over for Canadian turkey day.
Monday - weekend continues. No plans but to go to bed early. I need to be out the door early tomorrow for an 8 am meeting with about a 2 hour drive each way. Yay,

Friday: work, visited my gran, some nefarious secret society business then chilled out.
Saturday: lie in, some jobs around the house, made a pizza for poolish then gig up north. Was running mega (2+ hours) late but it was absolutely brilliant once we got it going. Video and photos will be finished tonight and look amazing.
Sunday: lie in then visited my old neighbour in hospital I posted about a few weeks back. Few drinks with Mrs JBJ. Tried to make dough with the poolish but it was a disaster so had to bin it

Friday: Practice guitar. Watched the new episode of Rings of Power.
Saturday: I was cloudy and cool, and we are past much of the tourist season so I decided to take my Saturday hike at Garden of the Gods (one of the entrances is maybe a mile from our house. Great hike, but still way too many people. Broke up a couple cat fights and had to physically separate the cats for the time being. Practiced guitar a bunch.
Sunday: Played and sang at church. Went food shopping for the week (that is getting a bit pricy). Relaxed in the hot tub.

I didn't have any gigs or anything fun like that this weekend... basically had some carry out and watched some movies with my wife... worked on "Baimun's Woodshed"... but beyond that the only notable event was my eldest and her husband found out that the baby they're expecting is a girl, and officially announced it to the world. (We've known for several weeks, but she was high risk last time, so they are being extra cautious, and I've slipped and said things out loud to a couple people where I immediately get the side eye from my wife and "oh that's right... sorry... you didn't hear that... "

This weekend my wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Got dressed up and went up into town for dinner at a fairly nice restaurant on Saturday.
Sunday, I bought a variety of different meatless burgers at the grocery store and had a grill-off to see which ones were the best. I preferred the fattier ones like the Impossible Burger, while my wife actually liked the drier old-school patties like Morningstar Farms. Anyhow, stick 'em on a bun and top 'em with the regular hamburger stuff, and they're a decent stand-in if you're trying to cut back on meat. They grill up ridiculously fast though, so I didn't even get a chance to melt a slice of cheese on them. Might actually be better to just cook them on the stove in a pan.

Those morningstar grillers are probably my least favorite in texture and flavor.
FWIW I always prefer to cook any of the meatless burgers on the stove. I cooke ‘‘em half way, flip, cheese and cover to melt the cheese while the patty finishes up.
