Prior to that, I've used various things: small steno notepads, a loose leaf filled binder, and even several notepads small enough to fit I a pocket. Those are some of my favorites.
I bought an idea book last year during a visit to Israel, since I couldn't write down ideas on my PC which was home.
Since my return, I've replaced it with sticky notes. I write down ideas during work, then bring them back home with me :D

Did a lot of cooking this weekend.
On Saturday, I made beef stew with mashed potatoes and green beans. Sunday it was roast chicken with mushrooms and peas, with a side of acorn squash. First winter squash of the season and it was delicious.
wife recently made squash soup, twas delicious.
Oh! Are we still on for Friday? Wife may want to join.

Mmm, apple-pear cobbler...
I misread this initially as apple BEAR cobbler. Which made me worried. I mean I know you're a marine and all, but the idea of hunting down an apex predator (well scavenger/grazer really, but still) just to use AS AN INGREDIENT in dessert is somewhere between "badass" and "crazy".

I now want to post a recipe for apple-bear cobbler.
2 1/2 cups peeled, cored and sliced Granny Smith apples
2 1/2 cups lean bear meat, cut into 1 inch cubes4 Tbs olive oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon table salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
Topping:
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Ice cream, for serving
Whipped Cream, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a 9 by 9-inch baking dish.
Go to the woods and kill a bear.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the bear meat in olive oil until nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes. Drain.
Toss the apples, bear meat, sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the butter together in a large bowl. Add to the prepared baking dish and dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
In another bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, salt, and egg. With a spoon, drop the topping onto the bear meat mixture and top with pats of butter. Bake until the crust is golden and the fruit is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream and Whipped Cream.

I love the recipe, though 'round these parts it may not be necessary to enter the woods to find a bear.

It's all about the quality of bear.

Howdy folks. Been a stressful day. Lots going on at work, then all that shit that went down at the Washington Navy Yard today. Still don't know if anyone I used to work with was hurt.
I'm especially worried for one of my old Philly co-workers - he just started working down at the yard last Monday. And he's got a wife and newborn baby girl. Positive waves that he's ok.

At least 13 dead in Navy Yard shooting
The chief suspect is dead, but last I heard they still weren't sure if he had help.
