Quick Good Morning..
Need to feed Tom E. and get in the shower. HOCKEY !!!! Go Nate!
I'll just about bet I'm as excited about today as Nate is. I miss hockey, though by about May I'll be glad its over for awhile.
Ed, sounds like your household was an interesting place these past few days, what with a possible killer licking its chops, and lots of extra dishes, etc. But glad to know you've enjoyed their visit, and I know they were glad to have a place to 'land' while Irma roars thru FL. Hope all is well when they return home.
Roger...out walking, hope your weather is as good as ours this morning. Its a long sleeve, light glove morning because of the breezes even though its 60 degrees!
Later...0 -

Hi
I did some walking this Morning + 0 Cents, Oh well. The temperature this morning was 56 on the news channel and 55 degrees on the front porch and back yard. Once again I wore a Long Sleeve Shirt and wore lightly insulated gloves due to the temperature
I did a short run to the ShopRite and Picked up some Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage and a few chunks of Potatoes from their hot food section. I have portioned them into breakfast, Lunch etc. I also Picked up a nice looking Cooked Turkey Breast half to use as a protein starting tomorrow.
Once again not much on my agenda for today. Maybe I'll kill time on that there Internet Thingy once again
Some Interesting ? Links, Well interesting to me anyway.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hey Guys!
Roger, when I saw your post it reminded me of something Ted related to me yesterday evening while we chatted on the phone....after the last event in Piedmont Park ended Ted and his dog Maya were able to access the part of the park that had been fenced off for the event...and Ted said he saw what looked like a couple $20 bills on the ground. He left it there, thinking somebody might come back for it...and after the walk the money was still there, so he picked it up...still thinking there was something 'fishy' about it laying out in the open like that...but no, real $20 bills...3 of them! He was laughing that it made my $5.00 bill find while walking with him and Maya around the block a year or so ago look a bit 'anemic'...I guess it did!!! YIKES!
Wow, What a find, I suspect someone has ended up unhappy however, That is a nice score. I suspect I haven't picked that much all year to date
FWIW that is one advantage of using the cheapo FitBit, When I get the alert email from FitBit that the battery is low I just pull the old one a CR-2025 and replace it. I got Duracells cheap on AmazonMorning off to a good start...my chores will be all done when the Fitbit finishes charging, and the clothes are dry in the dryer. So, up next will be to 'destroy' the kitchen.....need to cook some rice, bake a block of Tofu, make mushroom gravy, and another sauce...a garlic and herb sauce said to be delicious on corn on the cob, (and potato, and vegetables, even pasta). Sounds like its good on everything except cold breakfast cereal!!! I'll let you know about how it tastes on my next ear of corn.
I've not watched the news yet, but did see online a bit of whats happening. Barbuda is in a mess...everything flattened by Irma, and Jose, now a Cat 5 is taking aim at it??? Those poor people.
I saw the wedding snacks...I think I'd pass too. Trying new foods is nice, but it would be one time I'd be HAPPY to say 'no thanks'!!
Ok, time to face the 26 emails in my inbox....argggg. Hopefully most are trash and I can cut that number to something manageable, before I head for the kitchen...
Later... I get around three months. The fewer battery powered devices I have that I need to remember to charge the better. It is tough enough between the Flip Phone, and the iPod needing to be charged weekly and the Electrically heated Gloves and Mittens that is enough for me.
I just heard a few minutes ago that they have already had deaths in Florida.

Cooking up a storm, and cleaning as I go...tried a new recipe the Garlic and Herb one....I may not live. Followed the directions..it said 6 cloves garlic...I think I'll have halitosis til at least Tuesday!! OMG...just way too much garlic...and I love garlic, but this stuff is insane!
Take care...
Not a huge fan of more than a touch of Garlic. For example a Few cloves in a large pot of Tomato Gravy along with lots of meat to go on Sphagetti.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Quick Good Morning..

You are dressed the same as I am while walking lately. Long Sleeve light shirt, Walking Shorts, and Light Gloves. Where I feel the cold is in the fingers. When I take the gloves off to clear my nose the fingers do not warm up well unless I put them on a warm part of my body.
Have a Good Day

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »We did get to Kroger after the orchid judging. I had no difficulty getting what I needed, but if I had needed bottled water I'd have been SOL. LOL!
I did not look in the bread aisle as I didn't need bread. I did need bath soap bars, some sodas, milk (got the last two half gallons of Lactose free Kroger brand milk) and some canned beans. Some of the canned aisle looked a bit depleted but overall the store didn't look TOO bad. The "WooHoo" sections were kind of barren but I didn't really NEED anything from them. I just always look at them.
I did get more onions, including a bag of Vidalia onions for our guests who wanted some to take with them, as they have trouble sometimes getting them in Florida. And I got a bag for us as well, as I was down to only a few regular sweet yellow onions. I also got a couple of bell peppers, one of which went with an onion and tonight's bratwurst, which was served with roasted garlic mashed potatoes. I have a nice plate of that left over for breakfast or lunch tomorrow too.
Tomorrow the guests are going to head up to Memphis to visit family there, and then from there will likely head back directly to Ft. Lauderdale to see what's left of it. T isn't sure yet whether the courthouse will be open by Tuesday but if it is then he wants to be back to get to work. He needs the money.
It's been great having them here to visit. I told them to come back sometime when they are NOT fleeing from a hurricane and don't have to crowd all their pets in with them.
Right now their dogs are out in the main house and our cats are laying near each other on the bed in the master bedroom, which is closed off from the rest of the house. The cats get a bit nervous about that many dogs and one of them keeps looking at them like they are dinner. Or dessert...and that one has, in the past, killed a cat, so even though he seems like a sweet little dog to humans, we aren't trusting him to not mess with our cats.
Their cat is currently hiding under the bed in the guest room. She seems to be able, at least so far, to handle herself with all their dogs, including the caticidal dog.
So early in the morning they'll be taking off to Memphis and it will likely be some time before we see them again.
It's been a lot of fun cooking for company, but I've been using a LOT more dishes than usual. LOL.
I'm not surprised by the items that were out of stock or low stock. Around here when they say a snowstorm is coming the Bread, Eggs, Milk and Water disappear off of the shelves.
Your mention of Vidalia Onions reminded me that Vidalia Onion Pie is tasty. This is a recipe for one.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/18532/vidalia-onion-pie/
Vidalia Onion Pie
"A light dinner of Vidalia onion pie, a nice salad on the side, and a ice cold glass of homemade lemonade is perfect for hot summer nights! Optional additions can be sweet red pepper to the onions as they cook and/or crumbled bacon or fresh ham bits may be added to the mixture prior to baking. All versions are great! If desired, a couple Vidalia onion rings look great on the top of the pie for decoration!"
new term to me, Caticidal Dog.
I hope things come out OK when they get home.
I hope that wet is all Your area gets from Irma.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 60 out there now with an expected high of only 73 and 0% chance of rain.
Tomorrow is another story. Still looking like the dregs of Irma should be arriving sometime tomorrow. We cancelled the Orchid Society meeting for tomorrow night as we don't expect people to be driving to it in severe weather.
Guess I need to go find some breakfast in the kitchen. Might eat that last plate of bratwurst, but maybe not. I do have some boiled eggs.
If I said that to me the Potato Dogs sound tasty. OTOH I like Jimmy Buffs Italian Hot Dogs that are a Italian Round bread, Fried Onion, Potatoes, Peppers and 1 or two Hot Dogs depending if a Single or Double is ordered. Mustard is used on the bread unless You ask for none. Very Tasty if Greasy due to everything except the bread being Cooked in a fryer.
Stay Dry

The potato dog sounds quite tasty to me too, but I definitely don't need to be eating that.

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 56 and raining out there now with an expected high of only 64 and 100% chance of rain. Since it is, in fact, raining, I totally agree with that last bit. Also gusty winds expected, with occasional gusts up to 50 mph.
I doubt the air conditioner will be coming on much, if at all, today. Might be a good day to make a hearty soup or stew for dinner, assuming we have no power issues.
I had a Kroger Friday freeby of Annie's "homegrown" shells and cheese so some of that was breakfast. Pretty good for a free box. I do wonder, however, just how big a macaroni shell plant gets, since I've never seen one growing. And do they grow in pods like beans or are the shells themselves the pods, and the seeds discarded?
Not a lot on the agenda today. Maybe not anything. Rainy days are good for lazing around the house.

Hi
I did some walking this Morning and still + 0 Cents, Oh well. The temperature this morning was 56 on the news channel and 52 degrees on the front porch and back yard. Once again I wore a Long Sleeve Shirt and wore lightly insulated gloves due to the temperature
I chilled the Turkey Breast, sliced it and Used a 3 Ounce portion between two slices of the 647 Italian bread with a smear of Miracle Whip and slices of Really tasty ripe Tomato from the Garden, Delicious.
We Baked two Loafs, Loaves?, of Sweet Potato Bread yesterday and Gave one away and have one left.

Hi Valerie0 -
Unlimited booze sounds fun, but not as important as HOW MUCH FOOD AND WATER do they have on the ship? Still, as long as it can stay in safe waters and keep the passengers fed and entertained, I doubt they'll get TOO many complaints because they had to change their scheduled stops...
I've read the bit about red meat before, but have my doubts as well. Millions, perhaps billions of people eat a lot of red meat without becoming diabetic. I suspect its still more in the genes. Maybe the red meat makes it just a hair more likely if you are already genetically disposed in that direction?

I think, hope, wish this day is over. Wind for ever, and rain, and rain, and rain....it got weary some by about 4p. All day, electricity blinked off and back on, and I consider that fortunate, as about half a billion peeps in our area without power. Friend of mine posted 'Pop goes the Transformer'...meaning they have no electricity in the foreseeable future. Planning to have cocktails til all the ice has melted!!! Silly goofs!
Concerned for Tom E. He's been in all day. Wanted no part of being outside, and I cannot blame him...but I also don't see where either of the 2 litter boxes has been used????? And he snacked and ate all day long...bored as I was I think.
His straw bed on the porch swing got wet, so he got a new bed tonite. He's out there now. Can't decide ...leave well enough alone and let him sleep in his new bedding....or call him in for the night and risk a demanding Meow outside my bedroom door all night long???
I think he'll be fine outside..
Ok, I'm heading to bed....ate almost all of my roasted veggies this afternoon, then ate junk all evening...tummy not exactly happy. LOL!
See you in the morning.0 -
Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 59 out there now with an expected high of only 64 and 70% chance of rain. Where the rain does fall, it will be morning showers, supposedly, then cloudy and then late afternoon scattered showers. Haven't looked to see what it's like out there right now.
I've eaten. The cats are eating. I need to clear the dishwasher and then clear the sink into the dishwasher. I also need to go and see if I can get a few groceries at Aldi and pick up some cat food for Kiara.
Regular garbage is still at the curb, though the recycles got picked up yesterday.

I walked over to the repair shop and picked up my car, The passenger side Window regulator broke Sunday. I noticed that the window had slipped down and that it did not go up or down. I ended up pushing it up and using Painters tape to hold it up as Painters tape leaves no residue when removed.
