    Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    Currently 58 with light rain. High of 68 expected today with 50% chance of morning showers.

    Might go to Aldi for a bit of not really necessary shopping later but can't go anywhere until after my wine crate is delivered, as it requires an adult signature. In the absence of any adults, I do hope I can suffice for that...

    Hi
    I was out walking today and hit 7.7K steps + 11 Cents. The temperature is 41 degrees vs 31 degrees yesterday and not to bad while walking. I was able to lighten up what I wear as a result.

    I stopped at the Grocery Store Day for Bananas and picked up some nectarines as they looked good at a good price. The possibility of Showers in yesterdays forecast may have happened overnight, If that happened it happened early enough for the ground to dry out so I am guessing that the rain went north of me instead.

    Have a Great Wednesday

    Video: thief knocks himself out during store break-in

    KRON, Ohio – Groups of thieves targeted Leprechaun Liquor Store on Manchester Road twice in one week, with one suspect appearing to knock himself out as he tried to make a getaway.
    The break-ins were both captured on surveillance video.
    In the most recent incident on February 19, video showed three men smashed a concrete block through the store’s front door and scrambling inside just before 4 a.m. They stole $1,000 in cigarettes, according to a police report.

    With the alarm sounding as they rushed to leave, one suspect is seen falling over a counter door, where he appears to be unconscious. His accomplices left him there for a short time before one returned to drag the injured man out by his feet and then toss him in the back seat of a Pontiac Bonneville before the car drove away

    Good Morning! Tuesday. Pretty much agenda free today.
    Will hit the gym this afternoon...and plan to be home before the rain mid afternoon/evening.

    Tom E was back to his old 'slashing' self this morning after belly rub...and he added a bite just for ???? He'll be happy outdoors today. Will come in around lunch time for a few bites of dry kibble, and shortly will be going out again. He's loving this weather! I'm loving the 'break' :)

    Radish sandwiches...sounds like something I'd eat!! May have to give that a try around lunch today. I'd have to agree with those kids on several dishes...
    100 years of Brown Bag Lunches...that was interesting just from a 'how food/tastes change' over the decades! Thanksgiving dishes too!

    Rogers cartoons...today's to-do list, Southern State Trooper, and the apple peanut butter mini marshmallows is a cute snack. Wondering if my Grands would eat them. May have to pick up some mini m's at the store tomorrow, and take them for an after gym take home snack. (they have great potential to be really messy in the hands of kids LOL!)

    Ok, Ed just posted , and I have a few things to get started. Like breakfast and some chores...
    I need an 'Eddie'!!! Someone who likes to clean baseboards and windows would be a great help! LOL!!

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    I'm glad You liked the Cartoons :)

    Hi
    I was out walking today and hit 6.8K steps. The temperature is 43 degrees vs 41 degrees yesterday and was not to bad while walking until...
    I shall explain, When I left the house at 6:05 it was clear out, Then as I was getting my coffee the fog started moving in. Therefore I decided to head back to the house early. I figured as the visibility kept dropping that when I had to cross streets it would become less safe as I could not see them as far away nor they Me. I also turned off the Green Hornet Radio Shows I was listening to on the iPod so I could hear the cars easier.

    Have a Great Thursday

    Police warn of blackmail letters claiming you are cheating on your spouse
    To watch this video go to the page

    RICHMOND, Va., -- An unwed and single Richmond man wants to warn the public about a letter he received claiming he cheated on his wife.

    “I thought, who was this mystery wife that I don’t have?" Matt Edwards asked. "This must be a scam. I don’t have a wife.”

    Snipped
    The letter reads, "I’m going to cut to the chase. I know you have cheated on your wife. More importantly I have evidence of the infidelity."

    The scammer then gives the victim two options – to pay $2,000 through an electronic online Bitcoin money account or the “evidence” of the infidelity would be sent to the victim’s friends and family.

    Hi Ed
    Thanks

    Hi Valerie
    You could be right as to what fooled them. There was a 2 Million dollar winner in NJ last night. Not in this house :(

    I included the last humorous picture just for You :)

    I will be heading out to the Grocery Store later for a couple of bottles of Spring Water that is on sale so that will increase my step count.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

    Apparently some of the memes I've recently made are being noticed.

    Roger, that meme about breaking news being broken? I MADE THAT ONE! Glad to see it's getting around!

    Valerie, of the wines, the Caponero and the Place Andaluz are two favorites. I really like those two.

    I feel sure I'll love the La Marchesina Nero D'Avola, simply because I loved the Magnifico Nero D'Avola that I had before. That particular grape (Nero D'Avola) has a distinctive flavor and is, I believe, growing in popularity over here in the states, especially since we have some very affordable bottles of it now.

    The Sertorio - Well, I did already have one bottle in stock but haven't tried it yet. So far I've not really been disappointed by the Portuguese wines they've sent me and expect this one will be a decent red table wine. So now I have 4 bottles in stock.

    The Tuesday Night Red - Well, it's Cabernet Sauvignon. Like the Sertorio, I did already have one bottle in stock but haven't tried it yet. It's rare for me to meet a Cabernet Sauvignon that I don't like, so I'm sure it will be fine. Now I have 4 bottles in stock.

    Yesterday I almost forgot that I had to have lab drawn in the early afternoon, so I didn't get to Aldi, but did get to the doctor's office for the vampires.

    Maybe tonight I'll try a bottle of Sertorio. I had some Tuesday Night White (Sauvignon Blanc) on Tuesday...of course. I thought it was quite good, which is another reason I have reasonable expectations for the red. I COULD try Tuesday Night Red on a Thursday but that would just seem somehow wrong. LOL

    Here's some Americans trying weird American foods.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv1bskS9dDc


    and here's some Chinese people trying American "Chinese" food...from, specifically, Panda Express.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo59LlkTDe4

    And in conclusion...Americans trying to eat a FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST.

    Hi Ed
    I liked it so I Used it. Congratulations on creating it.

    Panda Express, What can I say, Faux Chinese Food maybe ?

    I know that before I started NS I could most likely have eaten a English breakfast easily :)
    Well... Except for the Blood Sausage :)

    Thank You for those videos

    I suspect my Brother would like the PB&M sandwich.

    Neither he nor I have any interest in Scrapple despite it being a regular grocery store item around here.

    I would try Scrapple, and I would even try the blood pudding. But then I've sometimes been told I'm very trying...

    One of my favorite sandwiches is peanut butter, mayo (actually I prefer Miracle Whip), bacon and sliced onion, on whole wheat toast.

    I know it sounds weird, but it's actually quite good. Maybe your brother would like that one, Roger!

    Mercy!! Besides watching crazy Grandma gifts, and people eating various foods, I've managed to do 2 loads of laundry..2nd in dryer for a few more minutes, first folded and put away...reheated my one cup of coffee 3 times ??? I threw that last bit out..yuck! Gathered and taken trash and recycles to their receptacles in the garage, to push to the street later this afternoon..Tom E.s been fed, and is outdoors, his boxes cleaned, etc...I'm just finishing up eating a meal...hard pressed to give it a 'name'! LOL!!
    Soon to head out to the gym, and to gas the car...then I'll eat a bite of ? and head out to O's gymnastics.

    Well I haven't done too much today. Drank a lot of tea, and still doing that!

    But I did make breakfast for me and for Lilo, and washed a lot of dishes. And then some more from lunch. I made home made mac and cheese for me, heavy on the cheese, and spicy basil fried rice for J, with extra egg. He liked it enough to want seconds, finishing off the pan of food. :)

    Opened a bottle of the Sertorio wine tonight. VERY GOOD! Fairly fruity, soft tannins, nice bouquet. Not sure just what's in the blend but I think I taste Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, at least. Could be wrong.

    It also paired nicely with our dinner appetizer of baked Garlic Parmesan/Romano Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. J and I both really liked the cauliflower bites!

    We'll see shortly how well it goes with the roasted rosemary and garlic potatoes and the onion, bell pepper, and pepper jack omelet that Eduardo is planning.

    Update: Wine paired very well with the remainder of dinner too. I feel stuffed now. J liked it all too.
