    Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 65 out there now and an expected high of 90 with 0% chance of rain. It's my 39th birthday, again.

    Replacement phone arrived yesterday so a good chunk of the afternoon/evening was spent copying the old phone to the new phone and then tweaking some settings and display folders that never seem to get copied. You'd think they could copy all that stuff too, but even without it I must say that the copying is MUCH better each time I have to do it, so maybe the next go around they'll actually get everything! The copying took the most time.

    My Surface pen also arrived and I paired it and played with it for just a few minutes, as I was paying a bit more attention to what was going on with the phones, naturally.

    I've been fed, Lilo and Kiara have been fed, and Lilo's morning pill is pending.

    Yesterday's shot went well, though J did have to take Kiara to the other room for a bit so that I could get to Lilo without her interference, as she was wanting to play with Lilo. Kiara has definitely adopted Lilo whether Lilo has adopted her or not. She obviously loves Lilo and would like to cuddle with her but Lilo, while willing to play with her some, isn't having the cuddles just yet. But then Kiara usually eventually turns any cuddle attempts into playing so I can understand that attitude on Lilo's part.

    Good morning.
    Have already fallen behind today :(. But the kitchen is ready for action so I'm heading there now.
    Roger I'm sure I'll poke my head in here again later and see your posts and hopefully a couple of cartoons. They are like my morning coffee...necessary! :)
    Ed I haven't watched any of the meal readys for awhile, I may look into the Vegan one later though...I'll bet its gag awful!!!
    First up today is making the Orange Marinated Tempeh, which will be used for 2 different meals this week...
    Later...

    Hi
    I went walking this Morning for 150 minutes. The temperature this morning was 74 on the news channel and 72 degrees on the front porch and back yard thermometer, It is still somewhat humid outside, However The humidity and Temperature are forecast to be better later today into the weekend as a cold front moves through the area.

    Why the long time walking, I went for a Haircut and since I was early I stopped for two scrambled eggs, two slices of Whole Wheat toast and had a few of the really crispy home fries :)

    Have a Great Thursday
    Roger

    No Humor today, I'm on a different computer than I use for that.

    Oh, and I DO have to transfer data to my replacement smart phone, when it arrives. The battery is swelling in the one I bought (and am still paying for) and it's a warranty replacement.

    I'm also expecting my Surface Pen today and want to see how that does for drawing/writing on my Surface 3 pad. Not that I'm much of an artist but maybe with an easily erasable electronic drawing board I can learn a bit.

    So it may eventually be a very technical sort of day for me. Lilo has had her morning antibiotic. She gets a shot for her joints today, and then an evening antibiotic. I'll probably give her the shot around lunchtime.

    I don't subscribe to any online newspapers, but I was lucky enough to get in for that NYT article before, I guess, whatever "limit" they impose for however they impose it was used up.
    Hi Ed
    I suspect that they either set a cookie or track the IP used to read the articles as a method to get You liking their online version, then You get the Limit message and to get around that need to pay :(

    Is the Phone working with the swelling battery ? Not to mention I would most likely be storing it in something where if it did burst into flames It could do no other damage, such as in the Oven :)
    Yeah...that article was sponsored by NS, and included this:

    "All the meals are quick to prepare, and a delicious breakfast is as easy as grabbing a snack bar or muffin on your way out the door. "

    But we all know that breakfast isn't really quite THAT easy, as you are supposed to add on a fruit, another protein, and, depending on exactly what version of the diet you're following, a carb or two. So while grabbing a snack or muffin on your way out the door sounds great, you'll still need to get the rest of your breakfast at some point during the morning.

    And of course, while the article doesn't say so, all the other meals require add-ons too, except for the snack. Not that I ever had any problem with that, as it allows the dieter to customize the meals to make them more up to their own tastes and/or spread a meal out a bit if that works better for them.

    We know the plan works, if followed, but they really need to describe the process more realistically so people know exactly what they are getting into.
    The Add ons are needed IMO to complete the nutrition for the meals. I could also be wrong with that.

    Cheers

    Hi guys
    quick pop in...I read, watched, etc everything yesterday, then got distracted and didn't comment. Trying not to let that happen today.
    Heading for Kroger just as soon as I hit send, buying my ingredients for my weeks worth of meals :) (everything Japanese this week) I watched the video Ed...and it is sorta like that...except I make 5 entrees. I have 5 different ones for each weekday evening, with left overs for lunch or a weekend entree. And mine includes sauces, dips, salad dressings, etc. I just finished the black (Forbidden Rice) which I had on hand, and could do ahead this morning..I've made the Sushi-Su which is a seasoned rice vinegar, and will add that to the cooked rice after about 10 minutes cooling time. I will use that rice for several of the entrees...etc. I'd have made the spicy peanut dipping sauce for the spring rolls and no doubt a few other things, I made the Furikake seasoning last night just cause I was too curious to wait until tomorrow. So, this week spring rolls with peanut dipping sauce and furikake broccoli, Shiitake chow mein withsoba noodles and a kale salad. (not fond of kale salads so will sub in some other salad), and another day there will be Nori Hand Rolls (Temaki) along with Miso soup, Orange Sesame Tempeh soba noodle bowl, and lastly Hot & Sour soup, baked veggie rolls with sliced cuke's seasoned with more of the Furikake seasoning...(that stuff may become a staple in my kitchen, its pretty good!)
    Ok, none of the above will happen if I don't get out of here and hurry along to Kroger! Gym, and my token visit to Publix, and an optional visit to Walmart will come later today.

    Roger so glad you are feeling better...for your sake I'll be glad when your weather is more suitable to your walking schedule!!!

    Later...

    Hi Valerie
    You may notice I got my haircut, The length was bothering me last week and then before I could get there I caught whatever it was from my brother :)

    The weather will be better tomorrow, However the fact that I walk 80 minutes one way today should indicate how much the hair was bothering me.
    Kroger done and put away, lunch eaten, (it was colorful if not exactly a balanced meal...red rice, purple (Japanese ?) sweet potato, and sautéed spinach) Oh, and an apple. I put some of the Furikake seasoning on the spinach...not bad!
    Off to Publix, and Walmart still an option..but not likely :) I couldn't find canned bamboo shoots at Kroger, and no daikon radish, also no rice paper skins for the spring rolls. doubt I'll find the rice skins at Publix, but I KNOW they have bamboo sprouts, and I'll pick up a bag of spinach

    Later...

    I hope Your shopping is successful. The Rice Paper skins for Your spring rolls are different than what the use around here. Around here the Spring Rolls look like smaller Egg Rolls with different ingredients inside.

    Good Luck
    Roger

    I DID find the rice paper spring rolls at Publix. I must have walked by them 3 times...but being the stubborn little thing I am, I just kept looking and finally found them! Tomorrow I'll make some rolls for dinner! Those have to be made fresh. But I do have the dipping sauce for them made. I couldn't wait, and tasted the Orange Sesame Tempeh...its really good!!! I'll be doing lots of that.

    Roger?????? what makes you think I can see you? LOL! You could dye your hair like a rainbow and I'd not know it!

    Lets see if I can get my refrig photo on this post...if not there I'll try again tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

    67 86 20. Y'all know what the numbers mean. LOL. Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday!

    I've been up for a while but Lilo did graciously(?) let me sleep in after I let her out of the bedroom at about 6:00.

    Finally she did make me get up. I had my free Hormel Completes Spaghetti with meat sauce for breakfast along with a very small piece of the chocolate birthday cake I baked last night.

    Today is J's birthday. Yesterday, being my birthday, I pretty much ate what I wanted, within reason. We went out to Cheeseburger Bobby's for dinner and I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries, and unsweet tea to drink. After we got home I made the cake and then we watched TV until the cake was cool enough to frost, at which time we had cake.

    Then I made myself a martini for a nightcap and got to bed shortly after midnight. So I needed to sleep in a little bit this morning! Lilo let me have until about 7:00 and then it was time to get up!

    I've eaten, the cats were just fed, and the dishwasher has been emptied and the sink cleared into it. I'm finally sipping my first mug of tea!

    Not sure what I have on the agenda for today. Perhaps as little as possible.

    Hi Ed
    I have no idea what those mean ? Am I missing something obvious ?


    Allow me to wish You a belated happy Birthday and happy Birthday J.

    I love Bacon Cheeseburgers, I do use the NS Hamburger lunch sandwich for one sometimes, I use a 1/2 slice of Velveeta at 20 calories and cover the Burger with it, then I use a slice of Precooked Bacon, currently from CostCo and some ketchup. I consider the Cheese and Bacon as close enough for my NS Protein add in and use a smaller fruit as the NS Carb along with the ketchup. Sometimes I use a Low fat version of Thousand Island Dressing or Sweet Baby Rays on the Burger instead or Lettuce, Tomato, Miracle Whip and and bit of onion on the burger instead. I order 7 of the NS Burgers and 7 of the NS Chicken Sandwich lunches too as they can be added onto in so many ways such as I do with the Burgers excluding the ketchup of course.

    I did have Earl Gray Tea with my breakfast yesterday a change from Coffee.

    Have a Nice Day

    Did I mention I picked up a Hamilton Beach Toaststation?
    It has a two slice Toaster on top, and a Toaster Oven section below so it can do both well. Since I went that way I do have to watch the Toaster oven foods as it has no timer.

    It looks pretty nice. No timer? Well, I'm sure you can time things another way until you learn approximately how long to cook any given item. It does seem rather odd that they didn't include a timer for the oven, so it would auto-shutoff after a certain number of minutes. On the other hand, if you want to bake something for an hour and a half, you won't have to go back to reset the timer.

    My current one has a maximum of 45 minutes on the timer, but if you turn the timer knob the other way, you can just set it to "on" and it will stay on until you turn it off, in which case you you would need to watch the baking or set some other timer to remind you.

    And with the one you bought your brother can make toast in his "traditional" way. :)

    So I think you have a winner there.

    It was inexpensive, I bought the older model based on the reviews on Amazon. The lack of a timer did not bother me. We do have a wind up timer I can use, Simple and foolproof unless You forget to put it where You will hear it :)

    I want to try it on a NS pizza as a test this weekend.

    I am used to winging it, The Microwave we have is a 700 watt unit and I had to get used to how long to heat NS entrees in it. Example a 1 1/2 minute 100 watt time becomes 2.2 Minutes and a 1 3/4 1100 watt NS melt needs 2 3/4 minutes.

    Have a Great Evening

    Dinner tonight was at Planet Bombay, an Indian restaurant in Little Five Points, that we've never eaten at before.
    The food was GREAT, though a little on the expensive side.

    J had a Mango Drink and we ordered Onion Bhaji, Samosa Chat, Tofu Tandoori, Aloo Ghobi, Bullet Nan, and then Chicken Bhuna for me.

    Leftovers for a couple more meals for sure.

    It was a good birthday dinner for J.

    Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 68 out there now with an expected high of 80 and 0% chance of rain.

    Heading (supposedly) to Augusta today for an orchid festival. We'll see whether J actually gets up for it and whether G shows up in our driveway to ride down with us...she was supposed to be here at 7:00.

    I've eaten and cats are about to be fed. Lilo has already had her morning Clavamox, with was rather a sharp surprise to her but she got a treat, some cheese, and one tiny bite of my Spam from my Spam, egg, and cheese sandwich. That was pretty much the whole breakfast, for now. I will likely get more food on the way to Augusta or when we get there. Or not, if we don't go, in which case I'll just drink some juice or something...

    Dinner tonight was at Planet Bombay, an Indian restaurant in Little Five Points, that we've never eaten at before.
    The food was GREAT, though a little on the expensive side.

    J had a Mango Drink and we ordered Onion Bhaji, Samosa Chat, Tofu Tandoori, Aloo Ghobi, Bullet Nan, and then Chicken Bhuna for me.

    Leftovers for a couple more meals for sure.

    It was a good birthday dinner for J.

    Hi Ed
    I can excuse somewhat expensive as long as the the food is really food, Sadly I have had Expensive and not to good. Needless to say I did not go back.

    I heard or read somewhere that most Indian Cuisine is Vegetarian Based.

    Leftovers from tasty, Whee!
    Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 68 out there now with an expected high of 80 and 0% chance of rain.

    Heading (supposedly) to Augusta today for an orchid festival. We'll see whether J actually gets up for it and whether G shows up in our driveway to ride down with us...she was supposed to be here at 7:00.

    I've eaten and cats are about to be fed. Lilo has already had her morning Clavamox, with was rather a sharp surprise to her but she got a treat, some cheese, and one tiny bite of my Spam from my Spam, egg, and cheese sandwich. That was pretty much the whole breakfast, for now. I will likely get more food on the way to Augusta or when we get there. Or not, if we don't go, in which case I'll just drink some juice or something...
    Our expected high is due to be below Normal temperatures in the mid 60s.

    Nicely Crisped Spam is something I like, OTOH I do not recall using it for a breakfast sandwich. I always ate it as fried or Fried in a sandwich. Strangely enough I do not like it as is from the can.

    Have a Good Day

    Wow! A cold front must have come through, but with no moisture.

    58 out there now and an expected high of only 75 with 0% chance of rain. Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday!

    My breakfast pasta and cheese (I made this!) is just about ready in the microwave, being on it's last cycle of 50% cooking to just finish up thickening the sauce.

    I'll add some pepper and chow down in a minute.

    Need to do laundry today.

    I just heard a ding!
