I was morning when I started reading here, and now its half past lunch!
Sunny here, slight breeze, and I think I may venture outdoors with my pruners....plants beware!!
I had a nice lunch of leftovers (acorn squash, roasted carrots and onions) and chicken fried tofu from my stop at WF-Midtown yesterday. Breakfast this morning was avocado toast and a banana...so I'm good to go for quite awhile I should think.
Tell you what Roger when they invent body suit warmers to go with the heated gloves, I might maybe, go outside at 40 degrees! LOL!!!
I see someone fell into the Internet
Just curious, I wonder What the Nutrition is on Chicken Fried Tofu, To me that would indicate a Battered Chunk of Tofu that is deep fried ?
They sell those on Amazon, They call them Thermal Shirts and Pants
Actually one place where I used to work they had a Sub Zero Freezer and the workers that worked within wore special Thermal Clothes and gloves that kept them warm. We called them Freezer suits, I had a set too since I worked in the yard driving the Yard Donkey which meant I was in and out the cab the entire shift. Like this one
I hope Your recreation of the WF stuffing and Lentils goes well.Ed it would be great if the two kittens would eat the same food. Much easier for 'Edvard" the fisherman. Sorry I couldn't think of a really good Finnish name for this version of another of your 'Ed Hats'.
As you two are finishing up your holiday trimmings I'm about to create more! I think I will later today mix up the bagged stuffing that I bought, and besides the veg's, like celery mushrooms, etc. I'll add some nicely seasoned lentils to try to duplicate the stuffing and lentils I ate from Whole Foods last week. And maybe make a fruit salad. I have those fake Clementines that I picked up last Tues at Kroger...I really should take those ORANGES back to them...if those small oranges are Clementines then I'm Elmer Fudd! Also have some Sweet Tango apples, grapes, and frozen blueberries, so that should work. Oh, and I have an Asian Pear too in the refrigerator. Maybe a few flakes of coconut??
Later...
Most of the Clementines I have seen lately have been small and not priced all that good either.
I am wondering if I should have bought more than one 99 cent Raspberries when I picked up the one I do have.
Good Luck

I've eaten, and the sink is mostly cleared, other than yesterday's cat bowls. The cats will be fed shortly. I've made my first visit to Dinah and she was most excited to see me. We still need to get her to the vet to be chipped and, of course, get all her old paperwork filed with them.
She is still wary of the other cats, but she did have a nice, self guided tour through the main house, again, yesterday. She is interested in EVERYTHING, of course, and not happy about being confined to that hall bathroom when she knows there's a great big (ha, maybe to her) house to run around in.
When she finishes the dry food she came with, she will be eating the same dry food as Kiara, at least through February, I think, at which point we may transition both of them into a regular "young adult" cat food or may let them keep on with kitten food for another month or two, just to make sure. That decision will be made when we come to it. She was already eating the same canned cat food so there's no transition necessary there.
if I said IMO it has been weird weather...
I had not realized You had the cats chipped, is that expensive? Filing the old records makes sense and was something I had not thought about.
Being wary at first makes perfect sense to me. I may be to trusting of the people I see while walking, IDK.
Kitten food when over 1 year old, I'm just wondering why that was sent with Dinah.
Have a nice day and stay warm

I think we are "too kind" sometimes to all our pets.
I remember when Halloween was for kids. Because I was one. I rode a dinosaur around the neighborhood collecting home made treats.
I've been taking a true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) capsule with each meal for years.
Don't eat food if a fly lands on it? Sheesh, there are places in this world where everyone would starve if they didn't eat food that a fly had landed on, because they couldn't eat anything at all. Definitely a "first world' idea there...and a single fly landing on my food just gets shooed away and I eat the food anyway. And will continue to do so.
Extra-terrestrial craft or just a flaw or reflection on the film? If that's a craft, it's the oddest looking craft I ever saw...I think it's just s reflection of some sort.
Well, I don't know that the show promises to be live, but yeah, maybe they could have made a disclaimer statement at the beginning that "this morning's show was pre-recorded on Wednesday so that everyone could have a nice holiday weekend" and not pretended that it was the day after Thanksgiving might have helped with viewers.

I am guilty of being to kind to my taste buds so I could see that happening with Animals. I have see images of Porky Cats and Dogs, sadly.
Halloween should be for kids and the parents that come along, if they want to dress up I have no problem with that.
Interesting, has the capsule helped In Your Estimation ?
Who hasn't had to shoo flies, OTOH I prefer to see them and shoo them before they land.
Conspiracy minded people see what they want to see, I passed it on since it seemed a bit odd.
Never having seen the show I do not know, I has assumed that they do live broadcasts with the standard several second delay used in case they need to avoid sending out something that slipped out such as foul language?
The wording they used makes it seem as if it were intended to deceive viewers into thinking they were there on Friday OTOH.

I had not realized You had the cats chipped, is that expensive? Filing the old records makes sense and was something I had not thought about.
Being wary at first makes perfect sense to me. I may be to trusting of the people I see while walking, IDK.
Kitten food when over 1 year old, I'm just wondering why that was sent with Dinah.
Having them chipped is not terribly expensive, and for most it's about an additional $20 to register the chip with the manufacturer so that there is a record available, online, of who the cat should be returned to. We'll just have the vet chip Dinah and give her a general physical feel around, make sure the stitches look and feel good, and then she should be good to go until next year's rabies shot.
They have estimated about a year old, but we aren't sure we go along with that. Dinah only weighs about 6 pounds. First heat is generally about 6 months of age, but could be earlier. Gestation is 64 to 67 days, so she could well have borne her kittens at about 8 months and if they are now two to three months old, she might be only 10 or 11 months old, and may have some growing still to do. In our experience, cats don't necessarily fully mature at one year old and can still be growing, albeit maybe a bit slower, until about 18 months.
With Kiara, we believe the estimate was wrong as well, though we have left her estimated birthday at February 5 of this year, and we believe she has reached most of her adult size by now, at 8.6 pounds. She may grow a little bit more, but we don't expect a lot more. She was still teething when we adopted her and that made us feel like the estimate was a bit off.
With Dinah, we think even if she's only, say, 10 months old, she's still probably already reached most of her adult size, and will just be a very small cat. I suppose it's possible she went into heat early, maybe as early as 4 months, but that's rare and would still leave her at least 8 months old, and 6 pounds could be on the small side even for that age, unless she's about to get a growth spurt.
We want her to be healthy and achieve an appropriate weight but sure don't want a miniature blimp running around the house.

I'll be back this afternoon with a ton of 'replies'...like only $350 +shipping, no doubt! Cheap, compared to hearing aids! Or Chicken Fried TOFU nutrition...(beans ya know). ETC. You two are full of info today. And God help if we become sooooo clean that we'd throw away food because of a bitsy fly. (though I know people who would...sad)
I'll have to weigh Tom E. Cat...I think he goes at about 14 pounds of Muscle! Being an outdoor cat he is super Strong!!! Yikes! I can't even imagine a 6 pound cat...sure she's not a guinea pig???!!!
Later guys...I gotta download the instruction book for my hearing aids, shower, etc. Also Breakfast would be nice. So far I've had water, thyroid pill, and coffee. So I'll begin the day with lunch!!!
Later...0 -
Interesting day...lots of good info from my hearing aid lesson. You both know I'm far from a computer nerd, but he was so pleased with me, said I'm more computer savvy than 98% of his other clients!!! That's sad!!!
The nutrition for Whole Foods Chicken Fried Tofu is copied from My Fitness Pal..(that's what came up from a google search...I'm going to do a bit more looking, Calories in Whole Foods Chicken Fried Tofu
Nutrition Facts
Whole Foods - Chicken Fried Tofu
Servings:
Calories 160 Sodium 0 mg
Total Fat 3 g Potassium 0 mg
Saturated 0 g Total Carbs 30 g
Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 0 g
Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 0 g
Trans 0 g Protein 8 g
Cholesterol 0 mg
Vitamin A 0% Calcium 0%
Vitamin C 0% Iron 0%
From my box of tofu...I find 15 mg sodium, 0% vit D, 8% calcium RDA, 6% RDA Iron, and 2% RDA Potasium. So whoever posted the nutrition on MFP did a sloppy job???
The fried pieces are definitely dipped into a thin batter, perhaps potato starch or maybe corn starch, the pieces are about 1 inch square, maybe a bit smaller.
Hope that answered your questions.....
Pretty sure I will have to pass up the wired winter wear...:)
I'm sure there was something else I was to answer....ask again if you still want to know, OK?

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 35 out there now with an expected high of 64 and 0% chance of rain.
The sink is cleared but I still need to get Dinah's bowl from the hall bathroom. I'll do that when I feed all the cats, just swapping her liner for one of the ones I have already cleaned, but with fresh food in it.
Dinah had a great day yesterday. We got her to the vet for a physical, and to be chipped. She and her magic food bowl are now getting to know one another better. She was eating out of it all along, but, as she wasn't chipped until yesterday, I had set the bowl to full open and just left it that way, keeping the other cats out of the hall bathroom.
Now it is set to just a tiny bit closed, so she can get used to that movement when she goes to eat. Next will be about half closed, and then, if I remember right, I can set it to about 3/4 closed and when she gets used to that much movement then we can close it up entirely and it will open when she sticks her head in. It may go from half to full. I'm not sure as it's been a while since we programmed and taught the other bowls, and I did not re-read the full instructions, that not being necessary.
Dinah was out of the bathroom for long stretches yesterday afternoon and evening WITH the other cats. She was, again, running around and checking out everything, closely followed by Kiara who was watching, but not getting TOO close. When they got too close there was still some hissing and glaring. At one point all three of them were sitting around in a triangular formation in the living room, just looking at each other, all of them waiting for one of the others to move. Or more accurately, Dinah and Kiara waiting for each other to move and Lilo watching Dinah.
Lilo will hiss when Dinah gets very close but isn't particularly interested in following her around or harassing her. As expected with her, she'd just as soon pretend Dinah doesn't exist, except when forced to acknowledge that existence. Over time she'll get used to the idea and I don't expect any real difficulty with those two.
Kiara and Dinah, on the other hand, will, I expect, work out a relationship where they can play and have fun. Even yesterday, there seemed to be some play in Kiara following her around, though I'm not sure that Dinah found it as amusing as Kiara. But then Dinah is only 6 and a half pounds and Kiara is 8 and a half so Dinah may be feeling a bit insecure about that size difference.
At any rate, Dinah wasn't, generally, afraid to go dashing past either, or both, of the others in a hallway, if she wanted to get to the other end and no one has done any scratching or pouncing that involved Dinah. Kiara did slow up some on her pouncing and batting at Lilo simply because she was busy following Dinah.
After a couple of hours of this, with J and I both trying to halfway keep an eye on Dinah ourselves, to make sure all went well, we put Dina back into the bathroom.
Today I expect we'll have her out even more, as the integration continues. And we'll see if she's ready yet to move the food bowl to the next setting.

Hi
I was out walking again this Morning. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 33 on the cable channel. It was a bit bitter out there when I had to take off the heated gloves for a minute, I could feel it in my fingers
I overestimated how much life was in the gloves batteries and one of them ran out before I returned home. I do carry a backup heating device that I can slip into the Heated Mittens just in case.

I've always loved the look of the space needle and I'm glad they're planning to keep it maintained.
That article on how far governments are willing to go for corporate presence is disturbing.
At modern prices, I don't care what the olives do at night.
No comment on the Iran missile article other than ... maybe they need to read the next article on keeping your cool!
That last one is just sad...

She may grow a little bit more, but we don't expect a lot more. She was still teething when we adopted her and that made us feel like the estimate was a bit off.
With Dinah, we think even if she's only, say, 10 months old, she's still probably already reached most of her adult size, and will just be a very small cat. I suppose it's possible she went into heat early, maybe as early as 4 months, but that's rare and would still leave her at least 8 months old, and 6 pounds could be on the small side even for that age, unless she's about to get a growth spurt.
We want her to be healthy and achieve an appropriate weight but sure don't want a miniature blimp running around the house.
OK, for that price it makes sense to me.
That answered the question as to why the Kitty Food too.
Do You think the size is genetic or from early days of growth diet?
Busy day yesterday, I do not remember, the "Magic Bowl" is battery powered or powered off of a wall outlet, likely through a Black Brick ?parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 35 out there now with an expected high of 64 and 0% chance of rain.
The sink is cleared but I still need to get Dinah's bowl from the hall bathroom. I'll do that when I feed all the cats, just swapping her liner for one of the ones I have already cleaned, but with fresh food in it.
Dinah had a great day yesterday. We got her to the vet for a physical, and to be chipped. She and her magic food bowl are now getting to know one another better. She was eating out of it all along, but, as she wasn't chipped until yesterday, I had set the bowl to full open and just left it that way, keeping the other cats out of the hall bathroom.
Now it is set to just a tiny bit closed, so she can get used to that movement when she goes to eat. Next will be about half closed, and then, if I remember right, I can set it to about 3/4 closed and when she gets used to that much movement then we can close it up entirely and it will open when she sticks her head in. It may go from half to full. I'm not sure as it's been a while since we programmed and taught the other bowls, and I did not re-read the full instructions, that not being necessary.
It does sound as if Dinah and the older cats are integrating well.Dinah was out of the bathroom for long stretches yesterday afternoon and evening WITH the other cats. She was, again, running around and checking out everything, closely followed by Kiara who was watching, but not getting TOO close. When they got too close there was still some hissing and glaring. At one point all three of them were sitting around in a triangular formation in the living room, just looking at each other, all of them waiting for one of the others to move. Or more accurately, Dinah and Kiara waiting for each other to move and Lilo watching Dinah.
Lilo will hiss when Dinah gets very close but isn't particularly interested in following her around or harassing her. As expected with her, she'd just as soon pretend Dinah doesn't exist, except when forced to acknowledge that existence. Over time she'll get used to the idea and I don't expect any real difficulty with those two.
Kiara and Dinah, on the other hand, will, I expect, work out a relationship where they can play and have fun. Even yesterday, there seemed to be some play in Kiara following her around, though I'm not sure that Dinah found it as amusing as Kiara. But then Dinah is only 6 and a half pounds and Kiara is 8 and a half so Dinah may be feeling a bit insecure about that size difference.
At any rate, Dinah wasn't, generally, afraid to go dashing past either, or both, of the others in a hallway, if she wanted to get to the other end and no one has done any scratching or pouncing that involved Dinah. Kiara did slow up some on her pouncing and batting at Lilo simply because she was busy following Dinah.
After a couple of hours of this, with J and I both trying to halfway keep an eye on Dinah ourselves, to make sure all went well, we put Dina back into the bathroom.
Today I expect we'll have her out even more, as the integration continues. And we'll see if she's ready yet to move the food bowl to the next setting.
Thank You for the links

I'll have to weigh Tom E. Cat...I think he goes at about 14 pounds of Muscle! Being an outdoor cat he is super Strong!!! Yikes! I can't even imagine a 6 pound cat...sure she's not a guinea pig???!!!
Later guys...I gotta download the instruction book for my hearing aids, shower, etc. Also Breakfast would be nice. So far I've had water, thyroid pill, and coffee. So I'll begin the day with lunch!!!

Hi Valerie
I did not expect that You would order
I just put that there to show that such things are around, I was amazed at the prices too.

The nutrition for Whole Foods Chicken Fried Tofu is copied from My Fitness Pal..(that's what came up from a google search...I'm going to do a bit more looking, Calories in Whole Foods Chicken Fried Tofu
Nutrition Facts
Whole Foods - Chicken Fried Tofu
Servings:
Calories 160 Sodium 0 mg
Total Fat 3 g Potassium 0 mg
Saturated 0 g Total Carbs 30 g
Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 0 g
Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 0 g
Trans 0 g Protein 8 g
Cholesterol 0 mg
Vitamin A 0% Calcium 0%
Vitamin C 0% Iron 0%
From my box of tofu...I find 15 mg sodium, 0% vit D, 8% calcium RDA, 6% RDA Iron, and 2% RDA Potasium. So whoever posted the nutrition on MFP did a sloppy job???
The fried pieces are definitely dipped into a thin batter, perhaps potato starch or maybe corn starch, the pieces are about 1 inch square, maybe a bit smaller.
Hope that answered your questions.....
Pretty sure I will have to pass up the wired winter wear...:)
I'm sure there was something else I was to answer....ask again if you still want to know, OK?
Later...
If I said I am not surprised You are more computer savvy TBH. I do not find that sad that others are not computer savvy, To me it indicates that they have never felt a need to use one.
As for the MFP information I was surprised the specs were not higher
IMO the majority of the Calories and Carbs would be from the breading.
That made me curious so I did a search too and found this page.

A direct comparison would be so much easier if the MFP gave a weight for that information.
The other question was a sort of rhetorical question as to whether I should have bought more of the 99 cent Raspberries

Howdy y'all. It's 49 out there now with an expected high of 67 and 0% chance of rain.
Lilo is in my lap, awaiting her breakfast. Kiara and Dinah are around somewhere. I don't hear anything toppling over or loud crashes, hisses, or growls so I'm going to go with the idea that they aren't getting into TOO much trouble. Hard to go check with a lap Lilo.
I do think I hear a toy being played with in the kitchen and some claws skittering around the floor in there.
I'll just sit here, petting Lilo, as she's still feeling a bit insecure I think, with Dinah, another new cat around. But she'll be OK. She's happy in my lap for right now. So far she's keeping Dinah at a distance and Dinah is graciously backing off. Kiara and Dinah are playing more with less and less hissing between them so that part is going really well, and Dinah distracts Kiara from wanting to pounce on Lilo. Not entirely, but at least some distraction, and I think it's good for Kiara to have another feline friend around, besides Lilo.
Need to get some laundry done today.

What do cats want for Christmas?
Well, I think Dinah and Kiara may have gotten what they didn't know they wanted for Christmas. I'm pretty sure Lilo didn't want that, but she'll be OK with it. LOL. I think Dinah would have been perfectly happy staying with the foster forever, but they can't keep all the cats. I doubt I could foster as I'd want to keep ALL the pets.
At any rate, Dinah got a new forever home for Christmas and Kiara got a new friend soI think Kiara is having a good first Christmas and Dinah is having a good second (probably) Christmas. Assuming she really is a year old, she would have been just a baby last year at Christmas.

For us the predicted high of 59 degrees is a warm spell
It sounds as if the new cat integration is going well.
I got one of my three planned chores accomplished when I mailed the four payments at the post office while walking. Next is Packaging the heated gloves I bought last year for warranty, repair / Replacement, the batteries are not heating the gloves for a long as they should. Third is digging the Gladiolas, yesterday I dug up the Dahlias.
Good Luck with the days chore(s)
