Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »I can't believe I just did this....again.
Lost my post by not paying attention.
Wasn't anything important, except maybe to say I did my laundry today, and its washed, dried, folded, hung, etc AND put away! WOO-HOO!!
Also went to the gym, and my steps were met by 5p. So, I'll be a couple hundred over, yesterday it was more than 1000 steps over. May be time to up my goals??? hmmm
Sorry you're getting a lot of rain Roger, especially since you didn't get your lawn cut pre rain. Its gonna GROW...
oh, my.... (happens to me at least once a summer, sometime several more times).
Ed...I think I'll leave my portion of the Eggplant stew for J!
Doesn't read like something I'd like...toooo much tomato, questionable on the eggplant..and then potatoes??
I see they fined Serena Williams $17,000 for her outburst. If thats not a sexist mess I don't know what is...thinking of McEnroe, (often labeled the 'bad boy of tennis) and several other men who were little holy terrors on the court. I don't believe they got those kinds of fines etc.
We women still have a L O N G way to go.

Been there done that, sometimes, maybe 50% I can recover by hitting Ctrl Z AKA Undo on the edit menu.
Good Going with the Laundry and Steps
It is what it is, I'd like to have mowed yesterday or today, the rain more or less precludes that however
I will say it was a display that did not set a good example. OTOH We both agree that it was excessive, My brothers comment was they fined her for breaking her own racket ? If She had caused damage to the surface that would be different, I did not see any damage nor was any mentioned.
Playing the devils advocate, possibly the fines and such were caused by McEnroe's Tantrums in the past ?

Hi
I'm back home from not walking so no cents. The Temperature outside the door was 58 degrees.
I am getting ready to have my first sip of coffee.
Why no walking ? Sore Knee, I did not see a Rock in the rain and the less than perfect vision from the hoodie and when I stepped on that rock, that was all she wrote, Scraped one knee, banged up the other one worse. I shall live to walk another day, I decided that with the soreness I would take a couple of days off from walking. Next Time I go that way I plan to throw that darned rock where I can not do that again as I do go that way approximately every three days.
I guess you didn't think to toss the rock right away. Hope your knees feel better soon, and don't forget the rock!

Mississippi homecoming queen boots game-winning extra point
OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) — One Mississippi high school senior had to quickly discard her crown after being named homecoming queen — and put on a football helmet.
Kaylee Foster was crowned homecoming queen of Ocean Springs High School before Friday night's football game.
She then put on her football uniform and later kicked the winning extra point to lead her team to a 13-12 victory over George County High School, local news outlets reported.
Foster kicked two field goals earlier, giving her a majority of the team's points.

I sure did not think about it then, Hindsight says I should have.

I think that college and even high school kids are to involved and worried by politics, then add pressure to get good grades and Voila.
I don't think maxing out the Credit Cards would be a good idea

Later than usual...
Ed, hope you're feeling better tomorrow. I hate colds...
Oh Roger, Sorry about your knees..Wise of you to not walk for several days. I'd have to say a 'blessing' directly to the rock before I threw it over to the next county!! At least you didn't face plant, did you? I'm going to assume the answer to that is no!
Good homemade apple butter is tasty. Mom's church ladies used to set aside one Saturday in apple season, and apples were peeled, cored, and cut up a bit, and cooked outdoors in a big kettle. I never attended one of these Applebutter days...and I'm so thankful!...
Ok, then there's Emmy!!! I think the girl is loosing it? Those red lips...OMG. I was sure glad when she took them off. Although hearing her try to say certain words/sound was amusing!!!
Oh, my garbage disposal broke last night...one of the grinder thingys broke off...caused a lot of racket, and vibrations! So, Antonio picked up a disposal and installed that, and then hung my kitchen cabinet! So nice to have it back again. Tomorrow afternoon I will move my dishes back into the kitchen, and no doubt continue to walk over to the table they've been resting on for a very long time.
And now....I'm off to bed.
Later...
Sad to say I sort of Face Planted, top of head to curb, Two Staples worth on top of my head. Not to worry our family has hard heads and the Catscan was good indicating no problems. I don't think I have had a Catscan before, MRI on my knee many years ago OTOH. Fortunately between Medicare and Plan F for the supplemental I should not have incurred any expense. First real use of either beyond doctor visits and eye doctor. In and out fairly quickly at the emergency room since it was early Sunday. FWIW Worst pain was some stiffness in the one knee.
They are not supposed to break
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 71 with an expected high of 87 and 40% chance of precipitation.
For the moment at least, I feel a bit better. Slept pretty well. Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and feed me and the cats. And need to get out to Publix I think for a small amount of grocery items.

Hi
I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees, It is dry outside. However the Humidity is high and can be seen as a haze in the air or maybe a light fog. Either way it was no fun walking.
While I was walking I did see two Deer run across the road 2.5 blocks from the house on the outbound leg.
I Did remove the rock I had tripped over, I suspect that I did not see it when it was wet from the rain as it was a black rock on dark ground and likely blended in with the low light from that nearby parking lot not illuminating it well.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 74 with an expected high of 87 and 40% chance of precipitation. I've eaten but the cats have not and are about to remind me of that.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and maybe get out to Ingles for some groceries that weren't available yesterday at Publix.

Dinner. OMG SPICY HOT!
FOOD REVIEW!
Aldi's Journey to India Vindaloo meal kit. I purchased this in late Spring I think and finally got around to tasting it tonight. I made NO adjustments to the seasoning.
I hope they bring this and the other Journey to India stuff back next year, as we've liked all the ones we ate. This was, I think, the last one to try.
The instructions said to make it with pork. Other than subbing tofu and jackfruit for the pork, I followed the box instructions.
All y'all know I like spicy hot food.
They were not fooling around with the spicy heat level on this one! I ate it but it was so hot it took me a while and was constantly sipping on my tea between bites.
As box mixes go, I'll give this one a 4 out of 5. If the spicy heat level had been turned down a notch, with, perhaps, some additional spicy heat in a separate packet, so that the cook could set their own level of heat, I might have given it a 5. I really loved the flavor of the sauce and it turned out beautifully when cooked per instructions.
Did I say I hope they bring them back next year? I think I hope they'll bring THIS one back...as I did love the flavor but DAMN FOLKS. Not even Emeril would want to kick this up another notch!
I might also mention that the peas that the front label seem to indicate are in the rice packet are actually in the sauce. Not that this is a problem, just a nit-picky detail.
I expect that was done so they could use a generic rice and potato packet for each of the different Journey to India dinners, though I suppose they could have put freeze dried peas in the generic rice and potato packet...whatever.

Hi
I'm back home from walking no cents. The Temperature out the door was 71 degrees. The Humidity is high and there was a light drizzle out the door that ended while walking, It was no fun walking. The rain came in Wednesday afternoon and I could hear rain drops hitting the AC overnight up to at least 3AM as that was the last time I woke up, I suspect the drizzle was leftover rain so it likely continued after 3AM. I did see one Deer run out of a side street, across the road ahead of me and continue down the side road after crossing the main road, a few seconds later a car came out of that side road likely why the Deer was running.
Wednesday, Despite the Humidity I put on long pants and mowed the Yard. Why the Long pants ? To protect my legs from the whatever they are that bite and leave a itchy mark. I also Picked and consumed a bunch of Raspberries, Some had ripened too much since my last picking

For starters, the FDIC estimates that 7% of the U.S. population is still unbanked. In other words, they live an all-cash life, so would be entirely shut out in a cashless society. Some also like the anonymity that comes with paying cash. Others use cash for budgeting reasons (when you’re out of cash, you stop spending).
That's me, no cash, no buy and I leave the Credit cards at home unless I expect to need one.

I see You have mentioned Ingles more than once, is it a Town or a Grocery Store name ?
Yesterday was not a great looking day for the entire day, At one point for a few minutes there was a bright glow through the clouds and then that went away followed by the start of a soaking long duration rainfall.
Agreed, OTOH some of them are so delicious such as the Rice Pudding with Whipped Cream, their Carrot Cake, large and delicious etc. Hopefully the new owners do not make major changes.

Do they do other Journey to countries or only India ?
I am asking as I am sure this is way to hot for me, Even some of the NS Entrees are too hot, fortunately not too many. Somehow I do not think of India food as having Potatoes.
Being able to adjust the heat level seems like a no brainer to me which could lead to more sales. I did not realize that Emeril was know for Hot tastes in his foods.
Freeze Dried Peas and Carrots both seem to be fine after re-hydration.
A character on a British Comedy used to mention Chicken Vindaloo as well as Curries, I just never got around to looking it up to see what it was.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 73 with an expected high of 90 and 40% chance of precipitation.
Heading to the doctor in a bit to discuss the lab results and do the obligatory poking and prodding and peering so he can bill the insurance an obscene amount for an office visit.
More on that after returning. I'll probably stop at a grocery on the way back home to pick up a couple of things. The only thing I miss about working at Kroger is that I'm not already at at grocery 5 days a week, making it incredibly convenient to pick up whatever few items I needed. Now I sometimes get out for a few but tend to have bigger shopping trips, which I really dislike, but at the same time can't justify the wasted gas to get non-critical items.
Ingles is a small, southeastern grocery chain. They have a number of locations but not enough to make Publix or Kroger consider them to be any real competition.
Aldi spotlights different countries/regions at different times of the year. Usually the products stay available for a couple of weeks and then what's left gets moved to the "lets get rid of this" aisle to make room for whatever comes next. Some of the better items return each year around the same time span.
