Everything Fred – Part 130 Update

25 September 2023

Well, they delivered! The Apple Watch came first around 5:30 pm and then the iMac was delivered around 6:45 pm. Things must be very busy for both UPS and DHL. Both arrived in good shape. Apple does very nice packaging.

New Apple Watch Ultra – Jeez, talk about crepe skin!

The watch face is larger than I expected. It was a pretty quick set up but there was one glitch about using my home phone and allowing it to connect with the Apple Watch. I think it automatically corrected itself.

The old watch compared to the new one.

I think you can see there is a size difference here. That’s a good thing considering my eyesight seems to be getting worse.

I’m waiting to use migration assistant on the iMac to transfer the files from the old iMac to the new iMac. The new iMac hasn’t seemed to recognize the old iMac yet so I’ll just let it run a while.

There’s definitely a size difference in the screens.


I’ll be curious as to how easy it’ll be to transfer files. I may have to call their help desk if the new iMac doesn’t recognize the old one. In any case, I have a Time Capsule backup and iCloud backup of the old computer, so I’ll get there eventually.

Tonight I made Chef Jean-Pierre’s honey garlic chicken. It’s an easy recipe as long as you do your miss en place.

Here’s my version of honey garlic chicken with rice

You can get the recipe and see his video below.

I’ve attended a couple of his cooking classes before he retired from that. He has a YouTube channel that has become very successful. I can certainly recommend this dish. It comes together really quickly so cook your rice first. You can freeze servings for up to 3 months.

Stay tuned!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
