Hi
I'm back home from walking and no cents found. The Temperature out the door was 75 degrees 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. When I left the house it was dry outside which is why I decided to go walking. About 30 minutes into the walk I took shelter under a tree while I struggled with the rain Poncho which was giving me problems due to the breeze. I ended up turning for home at that point and the rain became moderately heavy
According to the weather forecast the remnants of Florence AKA Leftovers according to the weather forecast will become worse as the day progresses with 1 to 2 inches of rain.
Yesterday was a day of good and bad news. The good, the scale is treating me OK. The weather was not too bad and I ordered 5 NS gift cards from CostCo where they are on sale at $59.95 for $100 face Value, Thank You Irene for the heads up.
The Bad happened when my Brother went to dry a load of clothes and all the dryer did was give off a loud AC Hum and not spin. The Most likely candidate is that the motor has seized, less likely would be a bad bearing in a Pulley or a belt tensioning pulley, since I was fine when I dried my last load the other day...
A new dryer is likely in the near future since neither of us wants to use a laundromat dryer.

Thanks for the chuckle with the image
yesterday we hit 100% with light rain in the afternoon, Today another 100% rain day with the leftovers from Florence, Oh well. Highs around 80 if the weatherman is to be believed from this mornings weather report.

I have a recollection that one secret ? is to not overwork it and to use cold Butter not room temperature. The easiest is to find one that You like in the refrigerator section at the Grocery Storeparityanimal wrote: »The secret to a perfect pie crust?
That looked pretty good overall, I think I would have toasted the bread a bit more as I like my toast nearly burnt. I see someone took the easy way with the plate for the toast, I tend to use disposable too.

I would have likely had more eggs and a taste of the potatoes as the Carbs AKA Starchy foods make me retain water and feel overly warm.
The last Ham and Cheese Omelets I had I put the Home Fries in a plastic take out container and my brother used them with his breakfast the next day. There was enough carbs in the Rye or Whole Wheat toast for me. I passed them on since I hate waste.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Been up for awhile... same old story...laundry, sweeper, etc..its the etc. that keeps one busy, right.
While typing I'm listening to the docuseries, Remedy. Interesting. Had to laugh. The night they talked about the microbiome, and mentioned the microbiome, both internal and external...I have friends that hearing parts of that might send some people I know to drink bleach....'kill your microbiome today, die tomorrow.' Could we call that 'germ warfare?' (my comment not theirs). Lots of talk about medicinal mushrooms, (no not the 'funny ones'), and foods, etc. Its interesting. I have eaten, and some I regularly eat, cuz they're tasty! My fav. was ones in MO we searched for in the spring... morels! Look like little christmas trees made from a sponge! Mom was sure they were full of bugs, germs, etc...I mean they grew in the woods, right? Then she'd dry them off, and batter them, and fry them....they were delicious! I see them occassionally at WF. Selling @ something like $48 a pound! Now, a pound of those little devils would feed all of us, and a few friends probably. They are very rich!
I see Morels used on cooking shows and I would not pay that much for any fungus
Yesterday my brother said I need to pick up the apple that fell off of the tree and see how it tastes. That is the first one since they were planted
He did not realize that the protective anti deer cage was loose against the fence he thought it was secured hence asking me to get it. Something had damaged it in two spots and teeny tiny ants were all over it. I used the knife we keep in the garden to cut off the damage and that got rid of the ants. It was pretty tasty too. Now if next year we get more than one
Medicinal Mushrooms is what the Hippies called the ones that gave them a trip
I'm with You always have some reserve foods on hand.I see the wind picking up outside...wonder what weather system is coming.? Would be a good day for garden...blow those damn mosquitos to 'Pest Heaven/Hell' LOL!!
Ok, laundry is in the dryer, and much to be done around here today...and a trip to the gym, since that did not happen yesterday...AND I really need to make a trip to the grocery. Cat food down 2.5 days..although there is plenty of kibble. BUT.....
I enjoyed so many of the video, and want to mess with the Keto bread in 90 seconds. That looks like it might come in handy!
And, the baby with a seat belt across its little face...oh my, the story about Walter Summerford, scary! And the microwave in the bathroom...thats just a 'NO', Nope, uh...just no!! Yuck factor for the day!!
Later...
I had a suspicion the baby and seat-belt might have been staged ?
Summerford did have what we refer to as a "If it wasn't for Bad luck I'd have no luck at all" person.
Not to sanitary putting something You heat food to eat in the bathroom, Just WOW.
Have a good day

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 69 with an expected high of 91 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to feed the cats and also get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. I think I have one little bit of folded towels left to put away because they go to the hall bathroom and it wasn't available at the time I was folding the towels so I haven't delivered that bit yet.
Might get out to Kroger to see if they have any more of J's favorite Mt. Dew since they had it 3 for $10 this week (through today) and I cleared the shelf yesterday. If they have put some more up, I'll get some more while it's at that price. The price just doesn't get better on that so I might as well stock up while it's on that sale if I can.
Oliver had fun knocking some old dead plant pots over this morning and then tried to pounce on my hand when I was cleaning it up. He's definitely ALL KITTEN.

I'm sure the same technique used on the lamb would work nicely for beef.
Yes, the Halal meats are about the same as kosher, except without the blessing of a rabbi. I think Halal may not have the restriction against having dairy with meat, but I'm not sure.
You might like a Shwarma wrap or Gyro wrap if they have that sort of thing, and I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you which items are not spicy.
Maybe you could even try some lamb or goat that they have prepared, just to see if you like it!

Well, I went to Kroger, as I had to go to that parking lot anyway to get my emission check done, but their Pepsi rep had not brought in any more Dew. So J will have to make do (Dew?) with the 8 or so boxes I managed to snag over the sale week. LOL. I filled in on some trips with other Pepsi products that I will drink, such as diet Sierra Mist, Diet Dr. Pepper, and Diet Root Beer so I've been enjoying a lot more fizzy soft drinks than I normally drink, but that will get back down to my normal (very low) level soon.
The Pork Marsala turned out delicious, by the way, and I have enough pork chunks to do that again another night. I got that package of chunks, a package of 6 thick pork chops (divided into 6 freezer bags now), three small pork cube steaks, frozen for the moment but I'll probably chicken fry all of them at the same time, and a piece of top round that I made into the prior night's steak and potato hash, which you've already seen. All that came off the WooHoo (sell this quick) markdown section at Kroger the other day. I've still got some vacuum packed lamb in the freezer and now I have loads of pork added to some country style boneless ribs that were already there, and several chicken breasts and thighs, and 4 small 90/10 Angus burger patties. I think I'll be OK on meat for a while.

It looks like it will be dry for a few days with overnights in the 60s and daytime around 80.
As far as I know they still make Mountain Dew, in regular and diet versions. I'll have to remember to look next time I am where they sell soda.
I suspect that the shelf may be a bit bare due to distribution issues from Florence ?
I am also pretty sure that the distributor doesn't deliver every day.
BTW can You get a Rain Check for the Mt. Dew if it is not in stock during the sale from Krogers ?

I have heard that in some areas if there is no Halal butcher they will buy Kosher meats as the prep is very similar.

I have a bunch of Lunch meat ends that were cheap in the basement freezer, Two Roast Beef, Baked Ham slices and Turkey and something else. Not to mention from the refrigerated discount case 30% to 50% off by the registers some Chicken Tenders that I plan to pull, heat and add some Sweet baby Ray's BBQ sauce to see how that works.
The Boneless Country Style Ribs they sell here are meaty and delicious.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Oh how I loved Gyro wraps!!! Do try one Roger. They are not hot spicy. Or I should say I've never eaten one that was spicy. Expect to see lettuce, tomato, and sometimes cucumber along with the dressing, and the meat. IS GOOD!!!
Also, many/most places use half beef and half lamb which ground then shaped and cooked before its put on the spit or whatever they that rod...and sliced off as needed as it slowly spins. If you ask, they'll tell you if its beef and lamb. Really you should try one....
I learned how to make egg noodles by hand from my MIL...no roller thingy, no cutting blades, hand rolled, and rolled, and rolled...then we'd cut and dry them on a wooden clothes rack...not at all hard to do...except stick with it, and get it rolled thin enough..Left to me we'd have had FAT egg noodles. LOL!!
I have always associated Gyros with Greek cuisine The hardest part will be getting there while they are open likely. I noticed a sign showing that they already changed their hours, 1/2 hour less. The Fresh meat ends at 8PM and the prepared at 9:30 PM.
By chance did You roll the dough up and then slice the roll to get the Noodles ? I have seen that done with other pastas.
last week I noticed that the Kitchen seemed a bit dark and sure enough one of the two bulbs burned out so as a replacement I used one of the LED bulbs my brother had bought on sale to see how it holds up. I do plan to keep using CFL bulbs as we have a fair amount of them in the cupboard.Gym and Kroger were my 'big' time users today. Along with putting the kitchen light globe and the metal ring along the bottom..(which came off in the dishwasher...oops!) Then there was yet another light in my bedroom that burned out several days ago...this one was over the sink...
I have a big mess to clean up in the kitchen...no wallpaper stripping done...dishes need to go into the dishwasher, and two 'baskets' that hang on the wall and hold wooden spoons, and other 'kitchen' things...that has to come down...I have about 14 blue Mason Jars, commemorative ones from New Jersey for the 1976 bicentennial...I keep beans, special flours, etc in them,, and they really need to be run thru the dishwasher before I put them back..etc.
Like I said...kitchen a mess. On my radar after dinner tonite.
I hope you went to Kroger today Ed, and that J's soda was still on the shelves...Kroger looked very bare when I got there about noon. Lots of empty shelves. I didn't hear the snow forecast, did you?

That is a neat set of Mason Jars, I wish we had some.
You have a Radar
Snow forecast ?? Our temps look like they will be above average for the next few days at a minimum, OTOH as long as the overnights are good for walking so what. For us this time of year 80s is above average
Have a Nice Day

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 71 with an expected high of 93 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to maybe wash whites and also need to get out to buy some kibble for the younger cats. Lilo and Oliver have plenty of their respective kibbles right now. I can pick up some more canned food for Oliver while out too, and if I time it right might even be able to pick up lunch for J if my memory is correct about Publix having Italian on the food bar on Wednesdays.
And I need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 69 degrees and comfortable. When I left the house it was dry outside. On the return leg of my walk there was a light mist blown into me that has so far not turned into rain. Two and three blocks from the house going for my coffee I saw t one full size and one smaller Deer trotting down the cross street, Then in the next block three more, One small and two larger deer ran across the street going from one lawn to another lawn on the other side of the street. Likely after eating landscaping or gardens
