Happy Nude Year?
I think I'll pass on the nude exercise class too. I'm not ashamed of my body, but not really proud enough to show it off while exercising either. People who don't look like they need the exercise might be more into that, but I do need it and it shows.

Happy New Year!!!
I've been up for awhile, mostly feeding bossy cat, while trying to ignore him! He's been a pest for 2 days already...and its too cold to put him out for the day or afternoon. One of us will live to see March. Not making bet on Which One of us that will be.
I did wake at midnight, didn't bother to get out of bed! I was basking in a Scrabble word I played that netted me 68 points..16 for the word Meatless, and 50 points for the Bingo! I don't Bingo very often, so its cause to pause, and enjoy! LOL!
I'm thinking the car will continue to vacation today. Its going to need gasoline one day this week, and this is NOT the day.
Ok, heading for my shower, I think the Rose Bowl game is tonite? And the Bridgestone outdoor Hockey game is sandwiched in between. Now, I'm not TV Digest, (remember that), so don't hold me liable if you miss an important game!!!
Later...

4:20 in the afternoon....I watched the NHL Outdoor Classic..great game. I had a great lunch of Hoppin John, rice and collards. Then an apple. BUT...I still haven't made it into the shower! Heading there next Need to re-check the time for the Rose Bowl game. I think I saw ESPN...in which case I may have to do some poking around to find a way to watch it online.

Tonight's New Year dinner. Black eyed peas, with plenty of ham, over cornbread. Mixed collard greens and kale on the side. Both dishes have a little smoked hog jowl in them too. Plenty left for several more meals!

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 13 degrees out there with an expected high of 36 and no chance of precipitation.
FRIGID is the word for the morning.
At least today the "feels like" temperature matches the real temperature!
Not planning to do much today at all. Maybe bring the garbage and recycle bins back up and bring in the mail and that's about it!
Need to go and get some breakfast. Maybe leftovers for breakfast! Or maybe the last of the slices from the ham that I got from the freezer. There was one nice hunk that looked so sliceable, that I had some for lunch yesterday, fried, with eggs and a toasted English muffin. I might repeat that for breakfast today to use up the slices. There was still plenty left on the bone to make the black eyed peas nice and meaty too.

I went for the fried ham and eggs with a toasted English muffin. My morning, pre-breakfast, blood glucose was such a PERFECT 96 that I celebrated with fried ham.

21 out there now (feels like 11) with an expected high of only 33 and no chance of precipitation.
Happy New Year again! I was up quite late, finishing off the Champagne and virtually yakking with some online friends.
Of course Lilo wanted me to get up at 6:15 or so, on only 4 hours of sleep, but I opened the bedroom door, went back to bed and snoozed about another hour. I will need a nap today, I'm sure!
I need to get the recycles and garbage out to the curb but I think I'll wait until we get a little bit warmer than 21 (feels like 11) to do that.
As mentioned, I have been up for hours but with fixing my breakfast, fixing the breakfast for the cats, and getting my New Year dinner feast started, I have been busy.
The black eyed peas, ham bone (quite meaty), and some trimmed, diced, jowl bacon are in one crock pot and a mix of chopped collards, chopped kale, and the rest of the trimmed, diced, jowl bacon is in another, both with slightly spicy seasoning, salt, smoke seasoning, and, in the greens, some sweetener and a splash of apple cider vinegar along with a good dash of powdered veggie base.
I'll make the masa corn bread later, so it will be warm from the oven when I'm ready to sit down to dinner.
Dinner will be about 5:30 or 6:00ish I think.
Nap time will be after lunch, if lucky.
I am feeling a lack of nap yesterday, here it is all of 8Am and I am feeling tired
I suspect that the only ones that will partake of that exercise class will be the ones that do not look like they need to exercise. Narcissism ?parityanimal wrote: »Happy Nude Year?

I am hoping that the mail brings my pension check today, I use most of it towards paying down a credit card bill that is due on the 20th. They are reducing nicely at the present time and I should write Amazon a nice thank You note. To explain that lately when I go to buy something that is a impulse purchase it has wanted me to verify my credit card and since I keep those put away unless I expect to need them it is more of a bother to go get it to verify than I want to do, thus I close out the impulse purchase and save the $$parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Ham and Eggs with a toasted English Muffin, Yum !
I could do 2/3 of that substituting toast as we have no English Muffins. Hmm... I had been planning on switching from hot breakfasts to cereal this morning, now the temptation, Thanks Ed I think.

Last night I was mentioning to my brother foods and said I had wondered about the Black Eyed Peas and Collards mentioned here until I searched New Years foods, He knew Hoppin John and was surprised I did not know.
Hopefully You found Your game

I omit the rice, as I feel the cornbread and beans are quite enough carbs. Of course the beans are good carbs. My leftovers will be lunch, dinner, and probably at least one or two more meals. 0 -
Hi Again
That sounds like a good idea to me, The Other Carbs should be enough especially for anyone watching their Blood Sugar Levels.

Good 'Very Cold Day' for us Southerners!
Ready now for Spring...we've had our snow, and a good 'long lasting' freeze. I'm ready for singing birds, sunny skies, and blooming daffodils! Please??!!
Speaking of blooming, my old orchids from years past, one of them is notorious for sending up a spike, and then only putting 3 buds on it?? Don't know why, been doing that for at least 4 years now....but the best part is, it opened its biggest bud overnight NYE into NYD, so I got up Jan 1st 2018 to a blooming orchid! Cool. Lots more to come. Looks like I'll have orchids blooming well past April 1st! (they're all 'moth orchids...or more technically Phalaenopsis!
Breakfast today was also lunch again. I'm getting pretty good at doing that! So, avocado toast with mustard micro greens...each of the two slices of bread had in the left bottom small collection of penicillin growth, that I pinched off...reducing by a very slight amount the carb count? LOL. If I missed some, and my body is harboring any 'bad' bacteria, then I should be cured of whatever it is! And I ate some more Hoppin John, with Collards. No rice, figured the bacteria bread would be carbs enough...and it was followed by 2 Halo Clementines. Should keep me full til dinner time.
Roger, I hope you watched Ed's "Emmy eats' video...cuz, the Jollibee restaurant nearest to Emmy's part of NY, was in New Jersey!! So, watch the video, decide which items sound really good to you, and then check to see how far or near Jollibee's is to you. It would be so neat if you went and tried some of the food to see A. How you liked it, and B. How accurate Emmy is with her food reports! Meanwhile I'll look to see if we have anything like that, I doubt it, we have Middle Eastern, Hispanic, and Japanese populations..also a pretty good chunk of Dominicans locally.
UGA will be playing for the 'big fish'...Monday I think. I've not poked around yet to see who UGA be playing.
Ok, Time to check on the cat who choose to dash out the door about an hour ago. Hope he'll come in feeling really sleepy, and not continue his growly meow voice badgering!
Later...

I have had Halo's in the past and they were good, just not a great price.
I looked up Jollibee and the only location in NJ is
NEW JERSEY
Danforth
393 Danforth Ave.
Jersey City, NJ 07305

I am not that close to Jersey City and back in the 90s when I was delivering there many parts were not that great and I do not expect it has gotten any better.
Good Luck With the Cat

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
27 out there now with an expected high of 39 and no chance of precipitation.
The cats, surprisingly, let me sleep in this morning. They, and I, have just had our breakfast. Cat food for them. Leftovers for me. still several meals from the leftovers, though just one more good serving of the greens. My greens were really good this year and I have been thoroughly enjoying them.
Might get out to a grocery store today. Might not. We'll see. Feeling lazy, but part of that is because I just ate a few minutes ago.

Let's try Vegemite! Actually I have tried Vegemite and found it to be something I can eat but not a favorite. It can be a nice addition to a soup, gravy, or sauce though, to spike the flavor a bit. Marmite is much the same. The taste is a little different, but again, something I can eat. I have not tried Bovrite. J wouldn't even try that, since it has meat in it.

Hey guys!
I have just one more meal (lunch tomorrow?) of my New Years good luck food. Today's lunch was sorta blended with my stick blender, and I added extra Veg. broth. It was good as a thick soup!
Got out to gas the car, and went into Costco store for my Promise bread...except they didn't have any...so I bought$40 worth of 'other'...like a huge package of paper towels Probably last thru at least of July 4th!, and a 4 pack of Pacific brand of Vegetable Broth...I think it figured out to be a little over $1.50 a box...which for that brand is very inexpensive!
and 2 boxes of salad greenery! Oh, and a bag of popped corn...big bag! Costco was extraordinarily BUSY!! I finally figured it out...today was the first day of their new 'on sale' stuff, like all the vitamins, and other stuff.
Tom E. is now asleep on the couch. I may sneak off to bed myself just to be toasty warm...Have many books, games, etc to mess around with.
Tomorrow will be another day...maybe some more sifting thru 'stuff', or not.
Later...0 -
I also got out today and filled up my vehicle, and then went on into the Kroger store to spend more money than I needed to. I did ponder the fried chicken at the deli department but came on home and ate a plate of New Year food for lunch, to keep working on that delicious stuff. Lunch finished off the greens.
Finished off my New Year food entirely tonight for dinner, having a rather large portion to do so. Big plate of beans, ham, and cornbread. Delicious, but I will not miss it. I ate that for quite a few meals and thoroughly enjoyed it, but tomorrow I will have to find something and cook for breakfast, unless I just eat cold or hot cereal and yogurt, which is a possibility, as I have all three items available.
I'll probably open up my big bag of bacon crumbles or cook some more of that open package of bacon slices, and have scrambled eggs with cheese and bacon, and maybe a small fried potato to go with that. We'll see.
Going to feed the sugar gliders and go on to bed myself to get nicely warm. I'm sure the cats will be in agreement with that.0 -
