Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Oh Walker - they have found the best family ever! All the hearts are full whether a fur baby or Walker family.
I can already here the laughter in your home as those two fluffs run around like mad!

The Smorg require at least one video of the Zoomies!
Sure! Tomorrow I will try to get a video, that's if I remember of course. Right now they are sleeping. One is currently all snuggled up in my lap, sleeping!
 
You as well Joel.

I’m eating an interesting, and delicious Mexican-inspired dinner. So basically deconstructed tacos.

50% Angus ground/50% lamb ground for meatloaf - slathered in enchilada sauce, topped only with lots of green scallions.

Refined beans on the side with gooey cheddar and a dollop of enchilada sauce.

Soft corn tortillas, warmed with butter and sea salt.
Ooh, that sounds delicious!
 
When the kids were younger I used to read them a book called Wacky Wednesday.
So that's what it's called around our house. ;)
Seems like that's how my Wednesdays usually go. Never bad, just wacky. :upside-down-face::thinking-face:
In the restaurant business that could be Quite Wacky!

Money.
Sounds delicious.
I used to make a Mexican meatloaf covered in enchilada sauce, onions and jalapeños inside.
 
Ok Fam, time for me to rest. So glad to have caught up with you all - even if I missed most of it.

Sleep well everyone.

And Walker if two flood balls just happen to find their way into hooman beds tonight…. Smorg Approved!

I’m only making for two. When I had a full house - ground beef on sale, no lamb.

Excuse me while I get a tissue to wipe off the drool!
 
Good night peeps, in honor of my dad, his retirement party in the garden. He is missed. Not looking forward to Father’s Day, it’s exhausting being pampered and showered with gifts all day. Thank god it only happens once a year!

Not me... My deconstructed tacos were macaroni and cheese top with pulled pork, fried corn, sweet bell peppers, and mushrooms with a side of tater tots.

No sir! Lunch was Barro's pizza - hot wing pizza with a side salad made from spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, bacon, cranberries, chickpeas, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette!
