Nick Russell’s Gypsy Journal Blog is Down
It’s a server problem and they’re working on it.
What is it about Ohio and Big Chairs ?
Is it something in the water?
This afternoon as Jan and I drove into Wilmington, we saw this.
Then in 2011 when we were staying at Smith’s Campground near Loudonville, Nick and I found this cozy little number. BTW Smith’s Campground is a great RV park, right on the river, and owned by really nice people.
Two Peas in a Pod
And not to be outdone, Jan found her own version, albeit a little smaller.
We could have each had our own chairs like these two guys
Or we could have gone a little more modern.
Or even to the beach.
This one’s on Bournemouth Beach in the U.K. It’s over 25 feet high and weighs about 6 tons.
Must be a B*t*h to fold up.
I recently came across some good info for cell phones.
The first one talks about Speeding Up Your Android Phone. I already knew a couple of these, but some were new.
The second one is for Samsung Galaxy owners. Several good things in this one too.

About 2pm Jan and I headed out for some errands. Our first stop was the Great Clips next to the Wal-Mart to get our hair cut. And Yes, I got both of mine cut.
Next up was a trip to the Wally World next door for a few things. Then heading home a little after 4pm, we decided to have dinner at Taco Bell. We were glad to see that they still have the Quesarito. Supposedly it’s a limited time product.
The Quesarito is a burrito wrapped up inside a cheesy quesadilla. As before, Jan got hers with ground beef and I got mine with steak. And since we got the box, we got two tacos and a drink with it. Not bad for about $13.
Several blog readers had questions about Jan’s Hot Dog Casserole last night. This was Jan’s first time making the dish this way, and she says now she’ll do it a little different next time.
This time she used a tube can of pizza dough, but that turned out to be a pain getting the big mass of dough separated into 8 pieces and flattened out. So she says next time she’ll use a tube can of the crescent rolls that comes already separated and rolled out.
Then she just mixed the Wolf Brand Hot Chili, Bush’s Hot Chili Beans, and the Habanero Rotel in a 9 x 13 pan, placed the wrapped hot dogs on top, and baked it for 20 minutes at 375°. Since she used our convection oven, you may need a little more time in a conventional one.
Jan also said that next time she will brown the wrapped hot dogs on one side under the broiler and then put that side down on top of the chili before cooking it. That way both sides will be brown and crusty. A very good dish. Try it for yourself.
