Hey group! To Chicago on Thursday and back to Georgia this morning. These Monday morning commutes are rough. Up at 4:45 am to the airport by 7 am and to my desk in by 1 pm. Stopped by Vegreen for dinner. I think tomorrow night I will venture away from the hotel a little further.0

Forgot to say that the cartoons and video's were all entertaining, funny, and some informative! I'm really tired..off to bed with these old tired bones. Annnndddd Tom E has returned. Good Night!

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 65 out there now with an expected high of 76 and 80% chance of rain. I think I'll do my best to stay in today. And if it is a rainy day, that would be perfect for a nap!
I included some Fiery Red Beets as part of my breakfast and they aren't fooling around! Cleared my sinuses. Very tasty though.
When I finish off the beets, I'll probably be dropping a peeled, boiled egg in there to make a super spicy pink pickled egg.
I already have two eggs pickling in the leftover brine from some pickled jalapeño slices that one of J's uncles (I think) made. As J took the last of the slices from the jar the question arose as to whether I wanted to save the brine for anything and I suddenly realized that I already had peeled, boiled eggs in the refrigerator so I decided to drop a couple in there and out it all back in the refrigerator for two to four weeks. I feel like they'll probably be good.
I think there will only be room for one in the pink brine from the beets, as it's a rather small jar, but we'll see. I still have to finish off the beets. J and I both ate some yesterday and I had some this morning. Maybe by tomorrow we can finish those off and I can get another egg pickling.
I've eaten. The cats will be fed soon. Lilo has had her pill and her Tuesday shot.

Hi
I did some more walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 37 on the porch and 42 on the cable channel. I wore a Sweat shirt, and Hoodie and used heated gloves.
I voted on the way to pick up my morning coffee, I was the second voter at the section that covers my area and name.

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.
I will admit that in the past my Brother and I have been known to polish off a large Pizza Between us, And depending on where it is from a Extra Large AKA 24 Inch Pizza.
The backyard was 50 degrees when I arrived back home. This room was 61 degrees so I have turned on the heat.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Although the Sun is shining there is Rain in the forecast for this afternoon.
My Brother did make pickled eggs recently and Put beets in to pickle and to color the eggs

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »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...
You have been busy
As You say, Now You know and I have a suspicion that You will not be buying them again.
64 degrees, I should be so lucky.
Thank You for that feedback and Your Cat was back in time...GardenKatGardens wrote: »Forgot to say that the cartoons and video's were all entertaining, funny, and some informative! I'm really tired..off to bed with these old tired bones. Annnndddd Tom E has returned. Good Night!

if I said Your Monday sounds tiring...
Good Luck finding different foods You like, Eating in just one place has benefits and drawbacks.

I decided to stick close to the hotel for dinner. Feeling tired. Love all the sign postings... so funny. Now I am debating between a nice glass of wine with my feet up or some cardio back at the hotel. I think that the wine will win followed by an early bedtime. I’ve been in meetings all day. It’s part of the deal with not being in this office everyday. I won’t be back here until after Thanksgiving. Next week I head to San Diego!0

Hey Ahren!
Good to see you this week..Your Monday trips to ATL are surely arduous!
San Diego for work?, rest? fun?...etc. hopefully the trip does not begin at 4:45! That's just too early for anything!
I love Ed and Rogers cartoons and vid's. Always entertaining!
Hope you had a good dinner, and a lovely glass of wine, and are now asleep! I'm waiting on Cat! This is a new thing with him. Not sure what's up.0 -
Hey, I don't see my morning post??? Don't tell me the internet trolls stole it again?!?!??!
Not a busy day today.... Folded that last load of clothes from yesterday, made my breakfast, hit the gym, got home just after the rains started, fixed either a very late lunch or something, and about 3hours later decided I needed to eat again.
So, well fed, waiting on Tom E. Wonder what he does during this late evening adventure? Not a girl friend...so then if not that, what?
Gonna call him, go get into my jammies and stand in the doorway tapping my toes after that. LOL!
See you in the morning....shopping will be high on my list, as big rain day on Thursday, and no real interest in shopping on Friday....

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
58 out there now with an expected high of 62 and 40% chance of rain.
I need to get some breakfast together for me and for the cats.
Maybe some laundry and maybe just a teensy bit of shopping.

We had one of these, and liked it well enough. But the blades tended to bend if you weren't really careful in using it. Let's see how Emmy does with it! I see hers only slices and dices, but does not wedge. That was also true of ours. We did not have the wedger blade.

OK. I've had breakfast and the cats will shortly get theirs. I've emptied the dishwasher and cleared the sink. Now I'm working on my first mug of hot tea for the day.
Oh, I also finished off the Flaming Red Beets and put one boiled egg into the brine to pickle. I finished off the rest of the pre-boiled eggs for breakfast so time for more I guess, but not necessarily right away. I don't have all that many fresh eggs in there anyway.0 -

As I understand it Cats will do what they feel like.
I do not recall seeing one either, I did see an afternoon post OTOH.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Hey, I don't see my morning post??? Don't tell me the internet trolls stole it again?!?!??!

Nothing wrong with having an easy day IMO.
I do not think that standing there tapping Your toes will do anything beyond having You feel chilled.
The latest forecast I saw last night shows Friday's Overnight lows at 25 degrees which is colder than what they were showing Monday
Have a Nice Day

So...red wine is good for us...BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!...even moderate consumption...well, I'll just take my chances. Seems like everything we eat, breathe, drink or look at can have health consequences but I'm going to LIVE, not just exist...you know?
1 -
OK! Made it to the end...
gonna watch a few minutes of the news, get out of the house to pick up a very few groceries. Can't be an effective Vegan if you don't have any greens in the house!
Roger did you read thru the articles you posted? The one about Mumps ? in particular? If you read about 2/3rds of the way thru the article it talks about the risks associated with Mumps...and the last one mentioned is deafness. I haven't heard a word from Marietta in a week, and it was then that she said her hearing was getting worse again in that ear not better as tested had shown...she hosted a 'Tea Party' for her little great nieces while in Texas, and flew to and from Texas...no doubt there was at least a child or two on board. Certainly not definitive evidence, but a new angle to consider.....
Yes Roger, standing at the door and tapping my foot would be for my benefit...Cat doesn't really give a darn!
Ed, wine seems to be taking a beating just like coffee has over the past 30 years than I can recall. Coffee/caffeine has gone from 'evil' to 'great' .....cancer causing to protective via all the phytonutrients it has....
The really scary article is from England where the article states that Dementia is the Number One Killer in Britain, surpassing heart disease....
Good thing we had Emmy's Slice and Dice Demo, and all the cartoons to off set the other 'news'. (for the record, I did not have a Slice and Dice!) I did on the other hand buy a dicer thing about 3 years ago, and every time Emmy had to stand on her step stool, I had to laugh and remember mine..the diced material fell into a plastic or glass container so it was neat, BUT, I could not for the life of me get it to actually close, thereby dicing what ever I'd put into it. So I set the darned thing on the floor and stomped on it...that worked, but who wants to eat food that you've pretty much stepped on???? It went straight to trash.
Heading for Kroger and Walmart...(need a new set of 'sweats' for the winter...and of course Cat Food.... Kroger will have my greens and a sweet potato, and some banana's, etc.

Hi All,
It’s hard to keep up with you all. I am reading through everyone’s posts and loving your content. I can’t respond to everything but know that I am thoroughly enjoying your activity.
I did much enjoy the wine last night. I may have even enjoyed a little tonight as well. I reached the office this morning at 7:30 and left my last meeting tonight at 6. Another long day.
I was based out of Chicago and covered 12 states in the Midwest. I just was promoted to a national position based out of our HQ in Georgia. I can’t move right away due to personal reasons but my company is so great they will work with me on a commuting program for up to 2 years... hence the back and forth. My previous role involved lots of travel too. This is a little easier... same hotel for 3 nights in a row and evenings to myself. Before I was working all day and entertaining at night. The really hard thing is 90%+ of my meals are in resturants. I went vegan last New Year’s. I would have done it sooner if I realized I need to put myself first and that it is manageable with all the travel and events.
Red wine is great! Sweet dreams!0 -
Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 49 out there now with an expected high of 58 and 100% chance of rain.
Interesting article on Kroger and upcoming plans:
http://clark.com/shopping-retail/kroger-5-big-changes-stores/#.WgPD4gZISpw.facebook
I need to eat, feed cats, clear the sink, and maybe try to ooze out between rains to get a few things.
