First trip to the doctor for Cian today. He’s got conjunctivitis in one of his eyes, otherwise he’s fine. His growth is normal and healthy, and he’s gained all of the weight back that he lost at the hospital, plus some. I’m not naturally distrustful of doctors, but I have to admit that this pediatrician put me at ease as soon as he came into the room. I kind of wish that he was in Lansing. Since he’s not, I need to find one that will take both Medicaid and military insurance.<\/p>\n
My welcome back to eBay has been interesting, to say the least. Now, when accepting payment via PayPal, and your auction is classified as “risky”, they will hold the payment until:<\/p>\n
21 days have passed
\nPositive feedback has been received
\nDelivery of the item has been confirmed by PayPal<\/p>\n
Risky means that your auction has ended for more than $100, or it’s in one of the “risky” categories, such as computer parts.<\/p>\n
I think 90% of my positive feedback has been from selling computer parts. Needless to say, this is beyond irritating. That, and one of the winners of my auctions has already decided not to pay, and is not responding to attempts at communication. My first group of auctions back, and I’ve filed an Unpaid Item case. CraigsList has its own share of dumb, or I’d already be using it. 5\/6 successfully completed auctions isn’t that bad, is it? *headdesk*

\nRandom Cooking with Dave
\n—
\nFour pieces of Tilapia that has been frozen so long, they’re almost guaranteed to have freezer burn
\nOlive oil
\nWater
\nGarlic Garni purchased at the RenFest
\nEight slices of Pepper Jack cheese left over from a Walmart lunch meat tray
\nTortilla chips left over from Los Tres Amigos and El Azteco<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to somewhere between 350 and 450 degrees.
\nPlace water, olive oil, and Tilapia in a glass baking dish. Frozen fish is floating. Hee!
\nSprinkle liberally with Garlic Garni.
\nBake at around 350 for 7 minutes, grumble about the water not boiling away yet, and raise oven temp to 450.
\nBake for five more minutes.
\nPull out of oven and drain almost all of the fishy, oily water.
\nLay two pieces of pepper jack cheese on each piece of fish.
\nCrumble tortilla chips and sprinkle over everything. Liberally. No, really. Don’t be shy.
\nBake at around 450 for 10 to 12 more minutes. Or, really, however long until the water has evaporated and the grease from the cheese is boiling.
\nLet cool until cheese can be cut with a spatula.
\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
