Fish Fry: A Writer’s Got To Eat

The Old Soldier is giving his crock pot a rest.

Hello hello hello, all my brother and sister bloggers, readers, writers and my Flash Fiction Fanatics.  And a special shout-out to the students at the University of Pittsburgh.

How’s everyone doing?

The Old Soldier is feeling young and doing fine.  It’s around 4:30 AM.  I’m stretched out on the sofa with two fat pillows under my weary head as I jot this down and sip on some orange juice as I wait for my computer to warm up.  I can’t wait for the blogging day to begin.

Well, I never did fry my fish yesterday.  I’m going to do that today.

When I phoned the Matriarch yesterday, she told me that Sis was going to bring her down to my apartment for a visit.  The Matriarch lives with my older sister and her husband.  They live about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh.  The conversation got me to thinking about age.  The Matriarch is 92.  My brother-in-law is 80.  Sister is 70.  I’m 65.

Strange.

Oh, well.  The older I get the bolder I get.  This blog is the proof.

PittsBurghNo karaoke tonight.  I’ve been spending too freely.  I don’t expect any money (Social Security and two pension checks) until the middle of next week.  Which means the Old Soldier will be alcohol free for the next several days.

Not to worry.

I’ve got my yellow corn meal, my extra virgin olive oil, sandwich buns, plenty of hot sauce and my fish.  And I have several cans of green tea.

That fish is going to taste so good.

Time To Go Vegetarian Again

The Old Soldier is feeling guilty after several days of chowing down on a corned beef brisket, fish and cheese.

So it’s back to eating vegetarian for a few days.  I have plenty of dry goods (spaghetti, beans and noodles) in the apartment, but maybe I should take a walk to Bloomfield (Little Italy) and buy some fresh vegetables.  Maybe it’s time to get back to eating salads.

Even though the high will be in the low 40s today, there will be plenty of sunshine.  I’m look forward to getting in a good walk and visiting the public library.

Keep reading and keep writing that flash fiction.  The Submissions tab is at the top of the page.

Fish, Beer And Flash Fiction

The Old Soldier got drunk yesterday.  I’m not bragging.  It’s just a statement of fact.  I even had a hang over this morning.  Now that is really unusual, a beer hang over.

But I was so happy that Medicare did not take anything out of my Social Security (and I bought a case of beer instead of a six-pack–the case is cheaper in the long run than buying individual six-packs) that I just had to celebrate my good fortune.

How’s everyone doing?  I have been eating meatless potato meals to get back to healthy eating; but I do have a bag of frozen fish in the freezer.  A fish sandwich with plenty of hot sauce goes so well with cold beer.  So, I’ll probably be eating a lot of fish in the next few days.

What does any of this have to do with writing or being a writer?

Well, writers have to eat and drink, don’t they?
