Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 43 out there now with an expected high of 57 and 10% chance of rain.
Laundry is about done, just a few things left in the dryer to refresh and hang/fold this morning.
I know a lot of people make their own bread crumbs, using day old (or older) bread at home and pulverizing the bread in a food processor.
As it happens, I buy panko crumbs. I never heard of bread being stomped on to make crumbs, and while I'm sure that the process does something to sterilize them while making them, that would certainly be a big turn off to see someone walking on them. On the other hand, grapes used to be stomped by hand...er, rather by foot?...to make wine, didn't they? And no one was bothered at all by that, apparently.
At any rate, I understand that Panko crumbs were never actually sold as bread to begin with. I'll have to see what more I can find out about that.
OK, it seems that authentic Japanese Panko is made using crustless bread that is cooked via electrocution, hence not any crust, per se. It's immediately processed into crumbs and is never sold as bread. Some American Panko, from what I've gleaned, is made from whole loaves of bread that include crusts, but "white" Panko is made from crustless bread, or bread that has had the crust removed. Again, from what I've gathered, both are bread made just for the Panko and never sold as bread.
And even if wine was still made by foot stomped grapes, I believe I'd still drink it. LOL.

Foods we are (presumably) not allowed to eat in the U.S. Some may be disgusting! You are warned. That opening picture looks like a mangosteen, which I happen to know IS allowed, as I've eaten it and it's available at the Asian farmers market, when in season.

I'd love to see 5 minutes in a row on the local news without a reference to the football game tonite! I think I"ll be glad to see tomorrow...or it may take a few days for the win/loss to wear off!..
How's Lilo doing? You haven't mentioned her in a few days, and I'm hoping that is a good thing.
Glad J got home from KY safely.
Looked at those cartoons and had to laugh...bagels all over the place in one of them...what a mess!, and the cat that someone caught mid leap onto the Cat Tower. Talk about a lucky click of the camera.
Later...
The only place I "went" yesterday was down to the bottom of the driveway to bring up the garbage bin, recycle bin, and mail (which never actually arrived, though the USPS email claimed we had some coming...) and I guess the mailman bailed. Or maybe was sick. Or maybe they were concerned about road conditions, though they were fine. At any rate, I imagine the missing mail will arrive today.
Lilo is not eating as much as I'd like, but she seems to be feeling well enough. And she IS eating, and readily consumes treats. No evidence of digestive issues. I've started mixing a little pumpkin into her canned food to, hopefully, help regulate her in that regard, as the extra fiber is supposed to help keep her from getting too hard OR too soft a stool. Just a half teaspoon or so every day mixed thoroughly into her breakfast. She doesn't always eat all of her canned food, but I think she's getting enough pumpkin to, hopefully, make a difference. Today she gets BEEF flavor, which is, I think a favorite.

Hi...where is that pesky GardenKat????

Its Tuesday, so Jack called...that was fun. He was full of stories about the outdoor rink, which Jack made for Nate,,as of yesterday was 'over'. But oh man, did they all have fun over the weekend! Couple of his buddies came and they skated for hours.
Today was my baby brother's birthday...kids 61. Wow! I was weeks from being 14 when he was born. Time has flown!
Having for dinner a big salad, followed by Mashed Potatoes and boiled cabbage and gravy. Yum! The Irish knew what was good when they made Colcannon!
Tom E. has been outside a lot today. Sunny, and 50's..he was a happy cat.
I need to go clean the kitchen. Hasn't been attended to all day...so its a mess. Hope to get out tomorrow and pick up a couple things and call it a day.
Oh, did I mention I have enough mashed potatoes to make potato patties, and I love boiled cabbage, so that could end up being 'itself' or I may think of a new dish to make with them.
OH, again...on the news tonite they were talking(reporting) on another owl attack. What's with these birds???

43 was our high for Tuesday
I may not have been clear, the truck driver was walking on the bread to put more of it in the truck, not to turn it into crumbs.
Interesting about Panko, I know that it is used by many Chef's as a better breading. I did not know it was made from crustless bread. I wonder how that method of cooking works, I wonder if that is something like the Hot Dog cooker that used to be sold where the dogs were impaled on short spikes and then line voltage was run through them to heat them.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 53 out there now with an expected high of 59 and 20% chance of precipitation.
I did finish the laundry yesterday and got to the store. Didn't get EVERYTHING, as I stopped at Kroger on the way home from a routine doctor visit, and hadn't yet had lunch. Came home and got lunch for J and for me.
I can get what's left at Aldi and Walgreens without going far at all, and if necessary there is always the nearby Publix as well.
Dinner last night was garlic cheese toast and lasagna, with Château Élan Muscadry Rosé. Very nice. This was the third bottle of the Christmas case I bought from them, that didn't actually get delivered until after Christmas. I had previously purchased a bottle of the Blanc, but this case was my introduction to the Rouge and the Rosé. Both are excellent.
I bought the individual serving sizes of Stouffers lasagna, so J had the 5 Cheese lasagna and I had the Italian (with meat) lasagna. We really love their vegetable Alfredo lasagna, but once in a while we want the red sauced version(s) just for a change of pace when having lasagna. Of course we don't have lasagna all that often anyway.
Doctor said I'd lost 3 more pounds. If he said it, then it's official.
Not that I couldn't stand to lose more, and it WOULD have been more, if not for the holidays. At least I managed to get through them without blimping out.

I have a checkerboard cake pan. It's older, with metal ring dividers, and if done right it makes a lovely cake. I would not make a Gatorade cake...mine was yellow cake and chocolate usually, and I was perhaps a bit more careful with the rings and produced a more consistent checkerboard shape, but the pans DO work nicely.

Good Morning! Morning chores done, email read or addressed as needed, (filed, printed, trashed...whatever!) Kitchen was cleaned last night, so dishwasher unloaded.
Several things I need to attend to out there...like making another batch of my oil free "ranch" dressing. (stuff is good!), etc. Shower, then I'm outta here for the afternoon!
Going to do an 'odd' run. I've never made it to Walmart, for all my threats of going..didn't!
And Aldi's, for oranges, apples, and their canned beets! Like 0.49 cents a can! And I love putting sliced beets on my salads..etc. Also they have hyacinths at a good price...want a dozen, will settle for 2 LOL!
Also picking up zucchini wherever I find them...want to try the zucchini and carrot fritters Ed posted. Looked so good. I think I'm on a 'fritter' kick.. Leftovers of yesterdays dinner going to reappear as potato fritters, and the leftover cabbage will go into a soup, or just get heated and eaten as is!
I loved the cartoons....the Purebread Cat made me laugh..wasn't expecting that! The cat in the tub with the yellow ducky shower cap, etc...
Ed..how's your schedule next week? I'd really like to get rid of these hot chip things. They've taken up way too much 'real estate' on the counter top. Would be good to see you, coffee if you're in for that...my treat!

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 50 out there now with an expected high of 60 and 60% chance of precipitation along with that high temperature of 60.
I had thought I might pop out for cat food and a few other sundries but might not if it's all rainy and blech out there.
Might run the dishwasher today, but it may be able to wait until after lunch or possibly even tonight after dinner, depending on what Eduardo or I decide dinner will be. There is a large can of German bean soup in there that I bought at Aldi a while back that looks pretty good and it may be the majority of dinner, along with, perhaps, some potato dish to fill out, as the soup doesn't look like it would be quite enough, by itself, to be dinner for two large men.
Thought I was going to beat Roger this morning but I see he just posted. LOL.

As chicken and dumplings, in a can, go, I recall rather liking the Sweet Sue brand. The dumplings are very much like the ones my mother made, and that I make, and the taste is all right. As with any of these type canned items, it could use a bit more chicken and you may be sure that when I make it from scratch, it HAS quite a bit more chicken. Still, Sweet Sue will do, for me, in a pinch. I do add additional seasoning, including some rosemary, salt, and pepper. Can't honestly recall how I felt about Dinty Moore, though I'm pretty sure I tried that one. I'm usually OK with Dinty Moore products though. Sweet Sue was just my mom's go to for camping trips, so I was used to it and it was familiar.
After watching this one, I may have to go and give the Dinty Moore another try.

I didn't expect the solar highway to last long. Disappointed that the expectations came true though.
I really felt there was a definite slant on the article about gluten free foods. They didn't actually say that gluten free, per se, increased risk of cardio-vascular issues, but rather that avoidance of beneficial, higher fiber whole grains might result in lower fiber intake, which could result in that increased risk. Well, there are lots of gluten free items that contain plenty of fiber, so unless they have conclusively tested whether the particular fiber in whole grains, specifically, reduces the risk, then that's just a supposition. The article strongly implies that gluten free automatically means less fiber. Gluten free, in and of itself, does NOT imply less fiber in the diet, though it certainly means less fiber from certain grains. More fiber can certainly be consumed in other items to make up for this.
I realize that Android phone batteries can also overheat. Still, the repairman getting burned is a bit scary, though at least I'm sure he's thankful that the battery didn't explode on him!
An old friend from my high school suffers from MS and could possibly benefit from the lab grown muscle cells, though I doubt they'll be in common use soon enough to benefit current patients much.
I'll go with the UFO theory on the Russian flash. It's the most fun!0 -
Ok, I'm here! Confess to sleeping til almost 8:30 and liking it!
Ed...Monday Jan. 15 it is...dependent on the weather..:) My counter and I will thank you! I do hope you like the chips. I know my only thought when the 'heat' caught me was ED!!!!! LOL!
Roger, I didn't read your articles yet, but surely did enjoy the cartoons. Animal pix are always enjoyable, and puppy or kitty pix adorable. I sat and rocked with my 'kitten' this morning while trying to get sips of my coffee without spilling on myself or Tom E. I don't think my coffee was so hot as to cause any serious burns, but it was a cup of half calf and I didn't want to share!
I am going to brave the weather and make a Kroger run. I did find zucchini at Aldi's and celery, and Cara Cara oranges..but no beets. I was truly disappointed. So, I have one more serving of squashed potatoes to 'reinvent' for either a lunch or dinner, and after that, I'm going to seriously have to actually cook! hmmmm. I'm going to look at Kroger's frozen foods and see if I can find frozen leeks. Would make a decent soup with my potato...
Surely is ugly out there this morning. But, no big winds, or torrential rains, etc. So I will make the best of it while I'm out. Looks pretty much like a 'hoodie rain gear' kinda day.
