Are we in the North Pole?

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Between weather that will freeze your fingers off and the decor I see around town, it's a good indicator that it's that time of year again. I can't believe how quickly the end of the year is moving along. Soon the big fat man in the red suit will be here and then the calendar flips into a new year. It's all moving too fast!

Tonight it is 33 degrees. Yeah, that's just cold. I'm hoping it doesn't snow or I won't be able to work. At least not driving to the top of hills where I can see the entire city. Once you choose an order, you're stuck with it until delivery unless it's an emergency or it will mess with your stats. That's why I choose not to take one at all if I can avoid it when I'm unsure about certain weather issues.

Terry and I have spent our weekend evenings watching an older show called Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction that is streaming on Peacock. Wow! Amazing show. I guess it was first aired in 1997 up until the present. The show was on and off for years. The anthology series is created by Lynn Lehmann and is a Dick Clark Production. 

Each episode gives the audience five stories that seem to be a science fiction tale but it is up to the viewer to determine what is fact and what is fiction. It's almost like playing a game while watching a show. Awesome concept and the tales, both the ones based on true stories and the ones completely made up by the writers, are interesting enough to keep your attention. 

Terry and me have guessed wrong on many and of course, we do have times where we are right on. It's a difficult choice on many of the stories presented. Some tales seem so out of the realm of being possible, yet they often will turn out to be based on the real events of people's lives. Six seasons of stories and all of them cover the five tales to keep you guessing which are fact and which are fiction. Love this show!

This is a full episode you can watch of the Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. The show is available on Peacock with a paid subscription, Amazon Prime, Pluto TV on Demand for free, the CW for free, Plex and Plex Channel, both for free. Interesting and fun.

We had eaten far too much on Thanksgiving. I wanted something good and solid for dinner as it was a cold day, but I didn't want turkey. Walking through the store, I spotted a package of three beautiful steaks. Along with the steak, I grabbed mashed potatoes and some green beans. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup and I was ready to go. 

After cooking the steak, I mixed some heavy cream in with the can of mushroom soup and poured it over the meat. It was making my mouth water. I put a slab of butter on the green beans along with a couple of sprinkles of pepper. Of course the mashed potatoes needed some of the soup mixture on top to complete the meal. Dinner was good. 

Once we sat down, we turned on Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction and enjoyed our evening. It was perfect. Good meal, great show, and wonderful company. We also had Togo looking on and hoping we dropped a bit of steak. Poor starving animal. 😏😉
