Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »The croutons were delicious! Since I made them from sandwich bread that wasn't even really stale, maybe "day old' stale at most, they had a much softer crunch than most of the store bought croutons, but I swear that sometimes you could break a tooth on some of those store bought croutons! They are usually made from a much firmer bread, and probably baked much slower to get really good and dry, and I'll have to admit there are some really tasty ones out there. Just sometimes too hard, too crunchy.
But J LOVED the softer texture of my home made croutons, and he liked the flavor of my home made croutons, as did I. I found the softer texture quite nice myself, as it was still crispy, but without the jaw breaking crunch. This was the first time I've ever made croutons from sandwich bread but I think I'll do that all the time now, since they came out so well.
I suspect that the store bought are made that dry to enhance their longevity on the shelf.
I had a feeling they would be tasty, I did not think about the crunch factor

I'm not Familiar with Dragon Con. As happens the only type of Shows I have ever attended were computer shows in the 80s into the 90s.

I've read the posts, didn't watch the food tests, laughed at the cartoons...etc. Will be a LONG post if I comment on them all!!
I love home made croutons, and the extra benefit that wasn't mentioned was the SMELL SO DARNED GOOD while they're baking!!!!
OH, and my mouse died this morning....so looks like I'll be buying gasoline for the car, mouse for the computer, and there's something on my list for Walmart....good grief I don't even remember that that something is. Glad its written down...

Hi Valerie
I'm not surprised they would smell good baking, Bread in general smells so good baking.
I'm surprised that the mouse died, They are really durable overall.
I'm getting my CostCo list together as soon as I post this reply.
I hope You had a good shopping trip.

A low fat diet could kill you? Oh, yeah! Bring on the buttered bacon!
I believe I would NEVER eat at that restaurant that was preparing the food outside...BLECH!

Buttered Bacon, I would have said Buttered Popcorn. OTOH in the past I have been known to melt a stick of Butter and drizzle it on a large batch of Popcorn. The kernels that got soaked in Butter were so tasty
Do we ever really know how the food is prepared at Diners and Restaurants.
I do believe that the chains have to pass inspection by the Chain.

Breaking News: Why cutting the fat and loading up on carbs can lead to poor health.

Dr. McDougall's Health & Medical Center
Yesterday's Headlines: “Why cutting the fat and loading up on carbs can lead to poor health.”
The Study: Associations of fats and carbohydrate intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in 18 countries from five continents (PURE): a prospective cohort study. Lancet: Published online August 29, 2017.
This is a study comparing the health of people who eat junk foods in the US and Europe. Studies done before 1980 - when many populations ate high starch diets (rice, corn, potatoes, etc.) as the sources of carbohydrates (China, Peru, Rural Africa, Japan, etc.) there was no heart disease (obesity, type-2 diabetes, MS, RA, prostate, colon, or breast cancer, etc. in these populations - except among the few rich people living there) - now the source of carbohydrates studied is primarily refined grains and worse: cookies, candy, cakes, soda, etc.; popular in these two wealthy areas of the world - US and Europe; and many of the other counties that now eat as we do.
Moreover, in Asian countries over the past 35 years, the consumption of rice per capita has decreased, and the consumption of meat and dairy foods has more than doubled, as the wealth of people in this part of the world has increased. During this time period, the health of people in Asia has deteriorated, with increases in obesity, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes rising to epidemic proportions.
"Moreover, North American and European populations consume a lower carbohydrate diet than populations elsewhere where most people consume very high carbohydrate diets mainly from refined sources".
"Moreover, in our study most participants from low-income and middle-income countries consumed a very high carbohydrate diet (at least 60% of energy), especially from refined sources (such as white rice and white bread), which have been shown to be associated with increased risk of total mortality and cardiovascular events.42 "
BTW: Funding:
“…unrestricted grants from several pharmaceutical companies (with major contributions from AstraZeneca [Canada], Sano -Aventis [France and Canada], Boehringer Ingelheim [Germany and Canada], Servier, and GlaxoSmithKline), and additional contributions from Novartis and King Pharma and from various national or local organisations in participating countries…”

Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 58 on the news channel and 57 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking.
I headed out Yesterday to CostCo for Three 5.5 pound bags of Frozen vegetables, navel Oranges, Gala Apples, Paper Towels, a Protein shake and a package of the Precooked Bacon. The bacon will be used to enhance the taste of The NS hamburger, Chicken Sandwich and Shredded onto the NS Pizzas. I only need a 1/2 slice of the 45 calorie slice on the sandwiches

Good Morning.
Its suddenly getting dark as or maybe more so than the eclipse. I do believe it will rain. You can smell it..and as if that was the cue...it is now pouring rain. Tom E. is now back in the house because I left the back door open...Oh, well.
I'm not at all surprised about the heart issues in obese toddlers. Its now recommended that 5 (or maybe it was 6) year olds have their blood pressure checked!! (one more condition of the middle to elder aged people) being found in little kids. All the autopsied soldiers returning from Nam showed some degree of heart disease...and these guys were young, physically conditioned, seemingly fit people. ITs the FOOD folks. Oh, and that article about the 'exercising' pigs....what was the point? its like the story ended where it should have begun. Also, I think its a bit unethical to make pigs run. They are not distance runners, quick sprints maybe...and a long handled 2 tined pitchfork to make them run??? Really? Thats just cruel.
Ok, enough about health!
Trash men had already run by the time I got up, I heard the truck...I didn't look to see if they closed the lid to my container...often it comes off the truck's lift thingy lid open....I may have a container of water soon.
I hope this is just passing thru rain, I really would like to get to the gym sometime this afternoon.... wait! did I just say I'd LIKE to go to the gym....somebody shoot me, please! LOL!!
Today I'm trying something new in my veggie category. I am going to cook turnips and turnip greens. Found a neat recipe...it has amongst other things star anise in the sauce/broth that the turnip greens make. Will let you know about this....
One or both boys coming out to help with some yard work this weekend. Could be fun. I need my garage flood light and the one for the back yard replaced. The yard one has been 'dead' for a long time, and the one in the garage gave me a scare the other night. We had an early evening power blip, I didn't even notice, but the microwave clock had to be reset. Part of my bedtime routine is to set the alarm, and then quickly open the door to the garage to make sure the big garage door is closed...opened the door and I could SMELL hot. Jack explained to me that its meant to do that...that if you flip the switch quickly, it keeps the light from timing out. Hmmm. I'd never noticed that before....so it is going to be replaced with a LED unit. I really wonder how hot it would have gotten before it set my garage on fire???? LED will help with the heat issue.
Rain seems to be slowing down, time to get myself moving and start a load of laundry, and a few other chores...
Ed, I know you all are having fun!
Roger, what are you doing this long weekend?

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday! Still not quite accustomed to this cramped Bluetooth keyboard that I am using for this pad, but it's not unlike trying to type with Lilo helping.

Might wander up to the parade in a bit.

I did some walking once again + 9 pennies, The pennies were all found one by one in a short stretch of sidewalk except for the last one.
The temperature this morning was 54 on the news channel and 53 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking.

Hopefully You needed the rain and it doesn't cause any issues.
Currently it is a chilly, gloomy looking day outside. OTOH I did not have any problems with the sun in my eyes while waking
Our forecast is for rain later this afternoon into Sunday Morning
I had heard that about the Vietnam soldiers in the past.

I have had some of the so-called energy saving lights that failed and gave off a Hot Electronics smell. Think CFL & Led. They both have electronic circuitry in them to change the AC line voltage into a lower DC for the LED and to power the Fluorescent Bulb.
Here is a picture of one of the Dahlias planted out front. It got broken off when we were deadheading the Rose Bush behind it and removing the dead blooms from it. I put the ruler along side of it to give a idea of the size. It is a pretty Thing too.
If I said I have no plans except to stay clear of the traffic on the roads by not going anywhere I can not go on foot ?

Good Morning,
I too agree, that is one beautiful dahlia bloom. Dinner plate size! I haven't grown dahlia's in a long time...you may have inspired me.
That hot light, Roger is 20 years old, and I have no idea what kind of bulbs are in it. But its about 10-12 inches from the garage ceiling, and it was hot. I won't turn it back on...it will be replaced. Thinking about a solar light for the one on the back porch. My neighbor has one, its quite bright and seems to be doing its job. Do you know anything about solar motion activated flood lights?
Ed, have a great time today. Its eleven oclock and only 72 degrees with a nice breeze in Atlanta. Sunny, couldn't ask for anything more!
I've got a list today...
Ted and I are going to have some fun tomorrow. We're going to do what we did Years ago...start Sunday off with an early morning trip to Whole Foods...(we started this when it was called Harry's, and was about mile and a half from my house.) We'd peruse Harry's wares, which were much, much better than any local grocery, and then since we were going right by it, we'd be in the parking lot waiting for Costco to open. SO, its Whole Foods to look for the lowered prices? and shop. I'm not so sure we'll make Costco... for sure we'll not be in time for their opening, and it gets crowded pretty quickly.
Jack hasn't called, so I'm not sure when, or if he's coming. But he will deal with the lights. Ted gets the lawn mower! I'll duck outside sometime today and pick up the sticks and small branches that came out of the trees with yesterday's winds.
Oh, Roger, I saw two more articles about that paper in the Lancet this morning...neither were supportive of the findings. They gave some of the particulars about the study...um, I guess if the carbs were from cookies (rather than veg. grain. fruit, etc)..it 'could' make for some weird results. TOday's debunking came from Dr. David Katz, and another from Pritikin. I won't post them. I can send a link if you're really interested.
Ok, time to get my day going away from this keyboard!!!

Oh, we have a full size Bluetooth keyboard, but that sort of kills some of the portability of the pad doesn't it?
I bought this keyboard when I had the iPad and I have a separate numeric keypad/calculator that plugs in to a USB port (and provides two additional ports) as well as a small Bluetooth mouse, all of which easily packs up into a fairly small space for traveling.
I also use the keypad with my MacBook Pro as it does not have that end of the full size keyboard, just like most laptops.
I have not yet purchased the keyboard that is made for the Surface 3, though I may. That keyboard attaches to the bottom of the pad and makes a cover as well, by folding over the glass when not in use, but does not charge the pad In fact, it needs its own separate charger for when the battery runs down, as does the keyboard I have. You can buy a docking station that DOES charge the pad, but I don't see a need for that myself. But I can see how others might need/want one. Perhaps at a later time I might consider one. And might buy the keyboard that is made for it.
I don't know if the docking station can also charge the keyboard but I guess if it has a USB port it could.0 -

Hi
I did some walking once again. The temperature this morning was 61 on the news channel and 60 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was semi Comfortable walking due to the Light rain. The rain is forecast to end later on today. The temperature did not change overnight as it was 60 degrees at 10PM Saturday night.

I wish the picture had come out better, OTOH I remember I paid a whole $29 for it so...
I do not know much regarding solar powered lights. The little ones I see along the Sidewalks when walking if I am out before Sun Rise are not that bright by morning. I think I would look at the user reviews before buying and My main criteria would be how bright and how well the Battery lasts when the light is on. Also I suspect that the location of the Solar panel has an effect.

Well I do like getting to CostCo before they open and get a nice close parking spot as well as beating the crowds.
I would like the links, Could You post them in a mail to me here on MFP. I can leave them for reference much easier that way. Wasn't there some controversy about Pritikin or am I confusing him with someone else?
Enjoy the Day
