Ok, I know you've been waiting for this with baited breath....I ate the Lunch special for $8.50 instead of the Monkey Mushroom. Just wasn't hungry enough to deal with a full dinner.
So, I had one spring roll, a bowl of Sea Greens with Tofu, and Pad Thai with 'Chicken'! I left stuffed, and waddled over to Kroger...that was a quick shop, home, and usual evening chores, except I did make Emmy's Bars. They're in the refrigerator cooling. I cheated...while in Kroger looking at my options for rice cereal.(damn but cereal has become expensive compared to the boxes of I when I was feeding my kids!!!) (never mind that was 25-30 years ago LOL)
I bought a bag of chocolate rice cereal. I think it will add that extra bit of satisfaction to my bars. ??? maybe???
Ted called coming out tomorrow to put in my back yard security light. The old one croaked. Its motion activated, so I may be lightening up pesky raccoons and possums.

I had heard that regarding the Cattails
I did assume that was done tongue in cheek however.
I have eaten cat tail roots, but not the other edible parts.
I have also eaten poke sallet, but one really has to be careful with that stuff. You want to pick it when young and tender and boil, rinse, boil, rinse, boil, rinse...at least two times but most people I know always boiled and rinsed three or four times and then prepared it just as any other green. This process generally gets rid of the poisons. If not done correctly, though, the poke weed can make a person seriously ill and could, in severe cases, cause death.
I recall that the same company that canned Popeye brand spinach used to also make canned Poke Sallet but they stopped that years ago, probably because of health concerns with eating poke at all. I think it may even be a different company now that cans Popeye brand spinach.
I was lucky enough to, only once, snag a can of the poke sallet and must say that they did an excellent job with it but I expect it was never one of their best selling items, as even here in the south many people just won't eat poke sallet at all. I'm glad I've eaten it, but probably won't take the trouble to make it myself as it's a lot of work for what you get out of it.
Definitely something that poor people could gather and cook for free, so I can see the popularity there, as long as the right care is taken in preparation.
Interesting about the Poke Sallet, I never knew it was available canned.
I would not be surprised a lot of the chinese foods sold here have been Americanized to fit our taste bud and I believe Italian Food is the same wayparityanimal wrote: »Well, I've heard that Egg Fu Yung isn't really Chinese, but an American Chinese invented dish. But here's one way to make it.
BTW FWIW around here on the Chinese foods menus it is spelled Egg Foo Young
When I was getting ready to go walking today it was 41 on the front porch, 45 on the Local News12 Channel and the room was a whopping 63, I did turn the heat on so I would come home to a more comfortable temperatureparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Today's High is forecast to be in the 50s, There goes the heating bill
That sounds like enough to have to bring TBH.

Guess I was lucky with the poke....!!!!
Hungry and heading out shortly for VeGreen and Monkey Mushrooms!
I'm then going to Kroger and buying banana's and puffed rice cereal...that's for breakfast, and rice cereal to make Emmy's Granola Bars. Those looked so good! Checked the refrigerator and pantry, have everything except the rice cereal!
Need to get out the door, and get my trash thingy back to the house and out of the street. Our mail persons have issues with getting to mail boxes. God forbid they should have to walk a step or two. I miss the walking mail persons. Last time I was in town with Ted his mail lady parked her truck each block, walked down one side of the street and up the other delivering mail. Was good to see...and she looked to be in good shape too, as I'm sure Roger can attest to!!
Be back later to tell you about Monkey Mushrooms!!
Later...
Hi Valerie
I guess that means You are on one of those routes where the mailboxes line the curb and the mail is delivered out the window of a Right hand drive mail vehicle.
Around here they park on the block and walk the route as the mailboxes are on the house or on a post up by the house. I guess we are lucky that way, In the worst weather all I need to do is open the storm door on the front porch and lean out to retrieve the mail leaving most of me sheltered.
I do not know if walking gets or keeps You in good shape as I am sure You can still overeat the wrong foods and be unhealthyGardenKatGardens wrote: »Ok, I know you've been waiting for this with baited breath....I ate the Lunch special for $8.50 instead of the Monkey Mushroom.

If I said I wait to buy the cereals until they are on sale and often stock up ahead. I can usually find a decent size box for $1.89, the larger boxes are not a good value compared to that. I have tried the Generic AKA Store brand Crispy Rice cereals and TBH I prefer to spend the little extra for the brand Name, Rice Crispies.
I would have thought You would get a Doggy bag for uneaten food or would the be a Kitty Bag in Your case ?
Do You feel a need for the motion activated light, I see them come on on some of the houses when I walk past in the dark.
Have a Nice Day

You know, I can understand the neighbors being a bit annoyed by a restaurant deciding to be an "adults only" establishment, even if they aren't necessarily an "adult themed" establishment, and I also realize that it's easier to do that if it's that way from the start.
All the same, if a restaurant wishes to limit their patronage in that way, presumably as part of a way of providing a more quiet, peaceful dining experience for patrons who would like to get away from noisy kids for a while, for whatever reason, then I'd side with the restaurant.
Most of the time I don't mind the kids, even when they get loud, but I do have a condition where sometimes (and I never know when) certain types of noises really, really get to me and cause an actual physical reaction, and I have to literally leave the premises lest I angrily snap at the noise makers or become violently ill or both. Sometimes the types of noises children tend to make can trigger this. Needless to say, there are some adults who also make noises that can sometimes trigger this or even some natural sounds or types of music, or physical activities, such as banging a stick on a fence or the like.
When that happens, I generally leave the place for a few minutes and then come back if/when I feel that I'm "over it" and can safely come back. It might be nice to have a restaurant that isn't so noisy to visit once in a while.
On the other hand, if I'm the parent in question and am used to taking my whole family, kids included, to a given restaurant and suddenly it becomes adults only, that being the only change, then I might be a bit ticked off about that too. Still, there are other restaurants where I can take them and I will probably just stop patronizing that particular restaurant period.
The restaurant management has the right to decide the age range of their patrons, and the public has the right to dine elsewhere.
Of course not having children in there doesn't guarantee a nice, quiet ambience. There's that couple over in the corner loudly breaking up...and the drunk man being a little too friendly with his date in public...

Taking a quick break from blowing and mowing leaves. Maybe only 5% leaf fall, but if I wait til there seems to be a lot, then the job is too big for me to handle. Only doing the driveway and the garage side of the house..maybe 5 passes with the mower.
Roger, to have requested a doggie bag, I would have needed to have food I couldn't eat...but...I ate it all! Too good to stop! I did take the tea from my tea pot (you know the french press thingy), and immediately in Kroger saw a big french press (6 cups big) and bought it. Have my tea setting out, and after dinner will brew a couple cups to drink while I read Face Book or something....
I have mixed feelings about kids being banned from some eateries...yes it is the right of the owner to fix age limits...it is also up to the parents to come prepared to keep the little dears engaged while they wait for food, etc. Sooner or later they do have to learn to sit, to speak in softer quieter volumes, etc. I don't think they get taught things like that anymore, which is why restaurant are setting age limits. So, its like a dog chasing its tail...
I really don't eat boxed cereals, and I needed this to make Emmy's granola bars! So I forked over $3.50 for chocolate rice crispies! The Granola bars are very good, though mine never did get solidly set up...but they're tasty. Kinda like that pot of fudge that just wasn't cooked quite long enough, you know the one you set in the refrigerator, pan and all, and eat it with a spoon!!!
Ok, I've had my glass of water, and gonna have a bite of granola bar, and I'll be heading back outdoors for round two of Valerie vs The Leaves!

The orchid auction was pretty successful, and we sold every single plant that was donated, along with a few that had been brought along in case there didn't seem enough. There was enough but we went overtime and sold all the extra ones too.
For a change, I didn't bring ANY food. I did bring the foam plates, paper napkins, the plastic cutlery, the drinking cups, a case of bottled water (junior size bottles), 20 pounds of ice, and the ice bowl. All of that collateral stuff is under my domain as the hospitality coordinator, even though this wasn't actually a meeting, and my name was in the alphabetic range to bring "drinks" so I decided to bring the water as I figured none of the other drink bringers would bring that. I was correct and only brought home 4 junior size bottles of water so they'll be donated to the next meeting's drinks. Water was popular.
J had to be out of town for something else, so I didn't need to make a vegetarian dish to bring. Any vegetarians who did show up would have had to basically eat macaroni salads, mac and cheese, bread, one tossed salad, and dessert.
Vegans would have had the tossed salad and that's it. As usual, not too many people bring vegan or even vegetarian dishes. I was actually a little surprised to see mac and cheese. Were I bringing a vegetarian or vegan dish, I would have tried for something a bit more exciting than that but there's certainly nothing wrong with mac and cheese. I even ate a little and it was pretty good.
Afterward, cleanup was pretty quick with several of us pitching in and I got home about 4:30 or so. By that time J was back home. J got warmed up leftovers from an Italian restaurant and I'm having mac and cheese for dinner. I am making it myself, but I'm tired and don't want to fool with anything much.0 -
Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday!
64 out there now with an expected high of 74 and 20% chance of rain. Yesterday's "chance" of rain came in late in the afternoon and evening, as it was sprinkling when I got home from the auction and actually poured later in the evening.
Need to get to the store today for a few things. And need a nap as the feline fiends woke me at about 5:30. This wasn't unexpected...after all, they don't understand about the time change.

I did some more walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 56 on the porch and 58 on the cable channel. I wore a light long-sleeve shirt, Hoodie and should not have worn the gloves I wore as they were to much.

I wonder if they just sprung it out of the blue? The best way as I see it would be to post a notice that as of a certain date in the future no kids will be allowed. FWIW if this does not work I could see where it would be hard to recover from.
I like a peaceful environment when I eat out. The local place where I occasionally stop for breakfast while walking has a TV set with News12 running and some of the tables/benches have noisy patrons and I find I skip it for that reason some of the time.
If You own it I believe You can control access as long as that control has no racial or religious reasons.
I am sorry to hear that certain noises have that effect on You.parityanimal wrote: »The orchid auction was pretty successful, and we sold every single plant that was donated, along with a few that had been brought along in case there didn't seem enough.

Hi Valerie
If I said considering that we have no trees in the yard it is somewhat annoying that the Tree across the street and the ones on both sides grace up with their leaves... The trees in the front have lost at least 80% of their leaves.
The front yard is 50+% covered with leaves The Gutters need cleaning in the back yard and that is after having them cleaned in the spring, Dang!
We saved them last year and used them to help insulate the Fig trees. The same thing is planned for this year, since they go in a paper yard waste bag first having them be dry would be a help as well as making the bags lighter.
I do not think that parents do a good job teaching the little darlings how to behave in public. The quietest ones I have seen in the Diner were engrossed with their Phones, Not talking of course, other things. I see them walking home from Grade school and the phone is out in front and is the focus of their attention which IMO is somewhat dangerous as they are walking down the street, No sidewalks out front beyond the one from our front door to the curb.
I wonder why they did not set up, never having made them I am not familiar with the process to be able to know why. The last ones I had some years ago came from CostCo ready to unwrap and eat, in a large quantity box, naturally.
Enjoy The Day

I have no idea Roger what went wrong, but later today I'll re-watch the video to see that I got all the ingredients in the mix, and in the correct amounts. Because I'd like to make this again, just want them to set up a bit more.

I finally got out for a relatively major shopping trip yesterday, spending nearly $200 at Ingles. Somehow though, the shopping list never seems to be completed and there's always something else, so of course I'll need to get out again sometime in the next week or so. Nothing critical left though.
J wanted pizza last night so I was saved from having to cook anything for dinner. Or breakfast for today. Or lunch. Or possibly dinner again...
I need to pay bills this morning.

I would love to order a Extra Cheese and Extra Pepperoni thin crust Pizza, OTOH I am sure it would not have leftovers so I have so far resisted the temptation
J had just Extra Cheese and I had Pepperoni and Sausage, which otherwise used to be known as "combination" pizza when seen in the frozen food section. We did not have frozen, but ordered in. I know I ate two slices of my large, thin crust combination pizza. Not sure how many slices of the Extra Cheese pizza were eaten, but I think maybe half the pizza, which would have been four slices, and would not be unusual.
My breakfast this morning was, of course easy to prepare, as it was just two slices of pizza, leaving me with four more slices left.
I expect lunch and dinner will probably be the same.

Late I know...
I hit the ground running this morning...I've done 4 loads of laundry, cooked beets, lentils, and rice (individually) in the IP while doing kp, and later cleared the sink and counters...I managed to squeeze in a quick nap, watch an hour and a half video, ate something I'd been looking at for awhile...WF carries these, maybe other places too...Beyond Meat is the brand, and it looks like 2 hamburger patties. But its apparently Vegan. It was reasonably good...but made with way to much cr@p stuff to make it resemble food. Anyhow, now I know!
What else did I do today??? I don't remember. Its dark out for awhile now, and I think its bedtime...and I'd go to bed right now if I could find my cat. I opened the screen door earlier, and he must have gone out when I wasn't looking...Best start calling him. I put him out last night and it took him nearly forever to come back...I don't want to wait up that long for him tonite. Its supposed to only be 64 degrees tonite...he for sure won't freeze will he?
Later...0
