I came here to thank Ed for something he didn't even know he'd caused.....
Remember the liquid I drained off my Shipwreck Casserole??? That made the most delicious gravy. I used that instead of my usual veg. broth. The rest of the gravy is 2 T. Beesan flour, and 1 T. Tahini. heat til it boils and thickens, which happens almost immediately, sprinkle with black pepper and I use it as a sauce on veg. or beans, and gravy on smashed potatoes, etc. I've been meaning to post this for days now. Thanks Ed!!
Roger, I'm amazed at how quickly you bounced back after your cold/flu??? Sounds like you're doing great. Wonderful NSV the other day. Its great when people not only notice but give you compliments!
Ok, my day is done. Sink could use Eduardo's touch, but if he doesn't have time I'll catch them tomorrow.
Tomorrow I go for x-rays on my thumb. Fingers crossed that this bone chip is being reattached to the bone without surgical help...........

Hi Valerie
I think we have all had mishaps with foods like that. As an example something slid out of the bag into the trunk and was not discovered for several days, The Nose knows
Beesan flour, What it is?
Good Luck with the thumb

The pie was a fully top crusted cherry pie. The croutons will be OK. Maybe some got crushed in the bag, but overall they should be fine. If I see THAT sacker at the lane again, I'll keep a close eye on him or tell him to go away and "help" someone else...and sack it myself.

Lunch today was some home made spicy, hearty vegetable soup with one flattened biscuit flatbread apiece, brushed with butter and sprinkled with rosemary.
Delicious!

Sometimes I hate this trac pad. There I said it.
It just 'offed' a whole post.
HI!!!!
Good news maybe, not so good possibly!?!? He said he could not see bone knitting on the x-ray, but that if could be happening on the back side, and not showing for a few days? Took my cast off, and is sending to me tomorrow morning to a guy who will make a molded splint that can be removed for bathing, etc. I really did not mind the cast, but it it makes him happy..........
Stopped at Whole Foods...yep, tofu for lunch. And a couple of things. Then this afternoon I went back out to pump gas into my car, and pick up 2 scripts at Costco...got another bottle of calcium supplement, my Promise bread, I have some in the freezer, but since its sometimes difficult to find, I got it while it was available. I also returned 2 items from a week or so ago, and then since I was doing returns, returned a wireless doorbell to Home Depot. Feeling like I got some 'stuff' accomplished.
Need to let the cat in, and feed the little 'dear'. In the middle of the night he decided he wanted in my bedroom...nope, nope, nope...and pulled the area run out from under the door, and then banged against the door for about an hour...still nope! Tonite I will sleep with a pair of sneakers handy, and throw them at the door to give him a scare. This is not acceptable behavior!!! LOL! He was on my last nerve anyhow. Tried to bite me when I rocked him, tried to bite my cast (he's done that before), wanted in and out literally every 15 minutes all evening...which is why I went to bed early...
Stubborn cat who thinks he 'owns' me, has met a hardheaded MO mule. He can just give up cuz it's still NOPE!!
Windy here...nicely warm in the 50's, but that wind....arg. same for tomorrow I think. Its not white, and its not slick, and I can drive in it....so, all A-OK!

Tonight we had the frittata...but J didn't make it, Eduardo did.
And I have a nice slice left over for a meal tomorrow.

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Been up since 6:00. At some point in the night we had a brief power outage, as I had to reset the time on the microwave oven first thing.
Lilo has been fed. Ariel has been fed. I've been fed (yogurt with dried raspberries, sausage links) and I'm sipping tea now.
We are already almost done with the first month of the new year. Shocking, isn't it?
Here's some kids trying Indonesian food. I love Indonesian food.

Hi
I was out walking for 10.8K Steps. The temperature is 27 degrees and it felt less comfortable walking than yesterday. The snow is forecast to arrive around 10:30

That was lucky it was a fully crusted pie, I would still have been unhappy. That does sound like a plan, OTOH if the sacker does that poor a job they are most likely unhappy with the work and will not be there long. IMO if You do a job, either do it to the best of Your abilities or do not start.
I think the last power outage we had recently may have killed the clock function in the Microwave, I can not get the clock to display to try and set it. The good news is that the heating time function still works.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Been up since 6:00.

Hi Valerie
I did have a stray thought regarding the MIA post you killed....
The next time try a Control Z in windows (Undo) and in Apple OS X use
The Undo and Redo Options
When making quick adjustments to your document, you may want to undo or redo the most recent action performed. These keyboard shortcuts can save you time by not having to scroll through the Edit menu, or Standard toolbar to perform the action.

I do not recall ever trying Indonesian food, What is it like, Spicy or a lot of rice or ??
Thanks
Roger
It is very similar to Thai, but somewhat different...hard to define the difference, but the hottest (spicy hot) fried rice I ever had was at a Malaysian restaurant in San Francisco. All the little countries around that area have fairly similar food, as one might expect in an area where the countries are small and packed together. So we have Burmese, Indonesian, Thai, and Malaysian, all of which I have tried and liked, then there is also Vietnamese, which I like though it's not generally as spicy as the prior four.
It almost seems like you could follow a geographical trail from India to China along that route and the food would be spicier at and toward the Indian end and somewhat less spicy at and toward the Chinese end, but with exceptions, of course, as even China has some quite spicy dishes, though I've not found Chinese to be spicy as a rule. Then on up to Japan and even less spice, in my opinion.
I haven't tried Laotian food but would expect it to be very similar to Vietnamese, as they border each other if I recall my geography correctly. No, I'm not going to look that up to make sure. The exact geography of southeast Asia isn't all THAT important to me to remember perfectly.

Hi
I was out walking for 8.5K Steps + 1 cent. The temperature is 35 degrees, and comfortable for walking. Yesterdays snow ended up being not bad. A few minutes with the broom and the sidewalks were clean. Today some of the sidewalks that had not been cleaned and were shaded still had snow on them. Since the roads were good I modified my route for walking to less traveled roads where there were no sidewalks
I'll be off to CostCo around 9:30 or so for Toilet Paper, Multi-vitamins and since I'll be there a bag of frozen Green Beans and a bag of Normandy Mix vegetables.
Have a Great Wednesday

Average Hotel Rates In Punxsutawney For Groundhog Day More Expensive Than Those In Houston For Super Bowl
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — We’re just days away from Super Bowl 51 in Houston — but it appears Pennsylvania has the hottest event in February.
Groundhog Day is this Thursday, and apparently people are shelling out big bucks to celebrate the traditional holiday with Punxsutawney Phil.
The hotel website Trivago looked at average hotel rates for Punxsutawney around Groundhog Day. It found they’re actually more expensive than those in Houston for the Super Bowl.
According to Trivago, it costs about $450 for a one-night hotel stay in Punxsutawney. That is compared to the $340 for a room in Houston.
Shadow or not, the average rate drops by more than $300 the day after Groundhog Day.0 -

I do like some of the Thai food, I do avoid spicy foods as they are not to my taste. The only countries foods that You mentioned that I have had would be the Chinese, including Dim Sum in San Francisco on Vacation, Americanized Japanese and Thai.
I had not thought of it that Spicier ran from a high of India to a Low of Japanese That does makes sense.

Fortunately the snow was a non event in my part of the state, further north they had a couple of inches of the white stuff.GardenKatGardens wrote: »

Interesting, That looks like a elastic bandage underneath the splint. It is not any uglier than what I had when I broke a bone in the lower leg some years ago.

I'm sure ALL of them have items that are not terribly spicy, or can be prepared with less spice, excepting, of course, any items that are pre-made and ready to serve, where you really can't make them less spicy than they are at that point. We just really like spicy and tend to go for the hot side, though I do occasionally stray over to the less spicy side of the menu. Fortunately, most restaurants tend to make it clear which items are spicy hot and also offer the option to adjust the level of spiciness to your taste, such as mild, medium, hot, melt-your-face...er, I mean FIRE or Thai Hot or LAVA...
I've actually been up since shortly before six but distracted by all the usuals. The sink HAS already been cleared, and Eddie needs to get out to the grocery today.

Good Morning!
February already! Planning to make this month 'productive'...
Yes, the stickers should be interesting. Knowing those two, I can't even guess what they might bring! Guess I'll know tomorrow
Off to the grocery shortly. Just finishing my coffee.
Supposed to be warm again today, probably not a record breaking 73 like yesterday, but surely not 4 letter word conditions...even if sweeping with a broom!
Glad it was a slight snow for you Roger. If your walk was comfy I will assume you've got your winter walking wear( ) in good order!!
Ok....will check in with you later.
Great cartoons this morning...Blinky thing and Hell frozen over were my fav's..

Oh, crud!
Roger, you asked days and days ago what was Beesan. It is a misspelling of the word Besan, a ground chickpea flour. (specifically Bengal Gram beans)... I use it to thicken sauces, soups, etc. It doesn't lump like flour, and I like that it is from a bean.
Gluten free also.

Boy, my goose is sure going to be cooked now…
Along with a lot of chicken thighs!
Eddie had a field day at Kroger this morning!
I’d been watching those last four geese at Kroger, left over from Christmas, and waiting for them to be marked down, and hoping to get one for a good price, since I really can’t afford $50 for a relatively small bird. I haven’t cooked a goose in years, and I did pay around $50 for that one but that was pre-retirement. I’m sure other people have been watching too, and I rather doubted that I would be able to get one before they all sold, when marked down.
Anyway, today I went to Kroger and they marked them down WHILE I WAS THERE! How great is that? I had my pick of the four remaining geese since I was right there when they marked them down. New price? $1.49 per pound, to get rid of them quickly so they could put something else in that spot. My goose was marked down from 48.99 to 16.26!
So now I have a goose in the freezer! Not sure exactly when I’ll be cooking that, but I am looking forward to it!
They also had chicken thighs (and legs, separately) in vast quantities that they had to mark down because the warehouse had too many and they need to get it sold quickly. 16 chicken thighs have been subdivided into 8 two-piece meal packets for me, with 7 of the packets packed up in the freezer and one cooking now in the toaster oven for lunch.
Didn't buy any of the legs, as I prefer thighs and at those prices could certainly afford to buy plenty of thighs and pass on the legs.
Great shopping trip today!

Dinner tonight:
Shipwreck Casserole. Layered potatoes, onion and bell pepper, guacamole, Spanish style rice, and chili beans. Topped at the end of cooking with queso quesadilla cheese and baked for 15 more minutes to nicely brown the cheese.
Wine of choice: Château Élan Muscadry. A luscious, fruity, off dry wine, grown and bottled here in Georgia.
I had 1/4 of this small casserole. J had half. 1/4 left for another meal, possibly his lunch tomorrow. If he's at the office instead of working from home, then my lunch!

Ed...do let us know when your goose is cooked!!! Great Grab!!! Chicken thighs too. Those were always my favorites for the slow cooker...bone in..better taste.
Just finished my dinner, and watched these kids try tea! LOL! I'd have thought some of them at least would have liked one or more of the teas...guess I'd have guessed really wrong!
Now that I'm finished I will let Tom E Cat back in the house. He kept clawing my leg, but never could figure out why...has food and water, didn't want to go outside..(but eventually he was 'helped' out the door. My right thigh looks like I've been to war from him digging in to it. I hope we both live to see warm weather....

Good Morning!
Not quite as warm as yesterday, but very nice forecast for today.
Ed, your 2nd edition of Shipwreck Casserole has me thinking...I have some guacamole that needs to be used up, and how about a can of spicy black beans to go with that instead of the chili beans? Hmmm. I may be seeing dinner! Or big lunch. Wonder if it will cook down and give me another cup of that great broth for more of my Besan Gravy? Hmmm!
Roger, hope your walk and financial status are both good today! (although with the 'spottiness of the money finds' I hope you have an alternative method for savings! LOL!!)
Notice that is 'alternative method' not an 'alternative fact', she said shaking her head. What the heck was that woman thinking? Dumb on her!!
Shampoo and blow out at the beauty school...and Olivia Gymnastics tonite. So should have plenty of time to make another Shipwreck Casserole...
oh, and laundry, and kitty box, and sweeper, and did I mention laundry? I need an assortment of Ed's hats today!!
