Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 64 degrees and nicely comfortable for my walk.

Need to feed the cats and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. And today I may actually get out to the grocery store!
I'm low on milk, cheese, crackers, flour, cornmeal, canned beans, etc.
It seems that Your weather is stuck in summer temperatures as I see it.
Keeping milk on hand is why I buy the no refrigeration need quarts of milk from the Dollar Tree. They did change vendors and the new milk has a shorted shelf life but still a decent length. Some of the other products they sell as cheaper than the same product at the grocery store. Example Kraft Dinner for $1 and a higher price at the nearby grocery stores.

That is a lot more than I spend TBH. Unless we also count the NS foods cost.
Super Coupons in the ShopRite Flyer, 1 pound of bacon and one pound of butter at $0.99 each. Whole Boneless Pork Loin for $0.99 a pound another great price. Low cost Hamburger which is a somewhat higher price per pound.

Hummingbird cake is a real 'thing'...it is very much like carrot cake, but has a few 'other' ingredients..like pineapple..
I would love to have a modest taste of that Old Scotch Whisky!!! On the rocks, please.
Had issues with my computer or maybe Safari....but I had no internet connection after about 3 or so yesterday afternoon. But, today, after much 'fiddling around' got Safari to connect to the internet! I really needed to get my Property Taxes paid...got that done this early morning..
I went to Costco this morning. I wanted/thought I needed one of their cut fruit bowls, and peanut butter. Kirkland has the best peanut butter...just peanuts and salt...that's all...but it is soooo tasty and smells amazing!
Need to catch up about 3 days worth of videos. Not tomorrow though, Ted's coming out to help with the verdant estate grounds....:)
My foot is still sore...not sure what to make of it...may have to go see nerdy ole podiatrist again.
Roger, I've had the original shingles vaccine. Marietta hurried to get her doses...and the first and the second, (six months later) had her on the couch with flu like symptoms. Talk it over with your Doc. I am going to wait a year or two to see if this is really as effective as they say it is....also, know that if you do get Shingles, either of the injections will help with recovery...AND the minute you suspect shingles...go to your Doc...they will give your immune system an bump, with a shot of IgG. It too, will lesson the disease...BUT, you have to get that early, wait and its too late.
Ok, kitchen floor mopped, and I need to get to bed...Ted comes early (his day starts early...Maya sees to that.)
Returning items to the kitchen, tossing others, etc. That's my afternoon plan...
Later...
If I said that the first thing I do if I lose Internet is pull the power from the router and the modem for 10 to 15 seconds and that usually fixes things.
I'm guessing that the shelf life for the CostCo Peanut Butter is shorter than commercial produced Peanut Butter.
Since the foot is still bothering You a visit to the podiatrist sounds like a good plan to me.
I shall have to look up what the symptoms of shingles are and side effects of the vaccine.
We went through the Kitchen cabinets a few years back and got rid of a lot of never used pots and pans.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 82 with an expected high of 87 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and get out to the pet store to buy some cat food and kitten food. Seems I do that a lot with four felines in the house, eating two different kinds of canned food and three different kinds of kibble. LOL.

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 81 with an expected high of 86 and 0% chance of precipitation.
I've been up for quite a while but distracted by all the usuals. Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and get to the pet store to buy cat foods. I do buy the canned food for the girls in "bulk" as in pre-mixed boxes of 30 at a time so one box lasts 30 days, as they share one can each day. This doesn't really save much though, as the price per can is only a penny or three less. The canned food for Oliver I don't buy in bulk as there is no savings and it doesn't come in a multipack, unless I buy a whole double flat, but the price per can would still be the same. So I usually just buy a few cans at a time. At least if he gets tired of a type, I can change it up the next time
I don't really have room to buy kibble in larger bags, though that would realize some savings. Oliver is the only one eating kitten kibble, and only through February, or through the finish of his last bag, which may well go a bit past February, but it will be AT LEAST through February. I don't think his food comes in great big bags anyway, and I wouldn't buy one because no matter how well I try to seal it, it would go stale and as I said, I don't really have the room. So he gets whatever reasonable size bag of kitten kibble I see in his brand.
The young girls did get one giant bag once, but I didn't like how I had to cram it into their storage space and it did seem to get a bit stale before they got all the way through it so I buy them the small or medium sized bags, depending on whether one is on sale to have a better price per ounce.
Lilo, the old queen, gets hers in small or medium bags too. As she's the only one eating it, and she doesn't eat all that much of it, I don't want hers going stale either. And, while not pleasant to ponder, don't want to have a large quantity left if she moves on across the rainbow bridge...which, of course, she will, eventually, as will we all.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 70 degrees and Semi comfortable except for when the breeze was blowing and then it was comfortable.
An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter:
“Want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Sure, Chief. Coming right up.”
He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.
The next morning the Indian returns.
He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other.
He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter:
“Want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Whoa…! We’re still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?”
The Indian smiles and proudly says,
“Training for a position in United States Senate. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day.

Just finished my first meal of the day...oops...no fruit yet. So, I'm ALMOST finished with the first meal of the day. Ted arrived 9:30, and he mowed, and decided to use the bagger...Since I've been the lawn guy, on one of his passes by the driveway where he was mowing along side...I noticed the lawn mower was throwing out some of the leaves, clippings...So While he was at the back of the property, I motioned for him to stop...I got a dirty look, but he killed the mower, and was a bit PO'd asking my why...told him the bag was full...and 'How do you know THAT'...cuz Ted its throwing out clippings...bet you $10 he shot back at me....now, we have these little 'bet ya's' usually for a buck or less, but I was SURE I was right, so I said 'your on' and he pulled the bag and sure enough that bag was full....WIN one for Mom. Nice change!! LOL! No, we never exchange cash...but it felt good none the less.
Good catch on the full bagger
I just looked at the Peter Pan Peanut Butter my Brother bought and the date on it is Jan 11, 2020 FWIW.Roger what is the normal shelf life on store bought peanut butter??? I just looked at my Kirkland Organic creamy Peanut butter...100% U.S. Valencia Peanuts. ..it expires 09-2019. I don't think that's so short, but then I haven't bought store brands of peanut butter in years because they all have sugar in them... So, you tell me...is 9-19 a short date? (not betting any money on this as I truly do not know...)
I liked the LionThat Mastiff wearing the wig like a lions mane, just cracked me up....I can see how it would startle the neighbors!!! Fooled me until I scrolled down far enough to read the last lines... LOL!!
Ed reported the temp...its already 87 (feels like 91 here in Duluth) Duluth being one street away, and the weather station is not so far from me. Oh, and the Humidity.....48%..so its not comfortable out there!
Also, Ed...the Queso Hash Brown ring looks delicious. You could half mash a can of beans and use that to replace the chorizo..especially if you added a couple of the usual chirizo spices...and I could make this with the 'Real Egg' replacer if I could FIND some in any grocery.
...and my Follow My Heart cheeses.
Or, just make it without the chorizo...there's already plenty of protein in it...so, some extra spices, could do it.
Both my boys have suggested I paint my dark walnut stained cabinets white...like really??? No way. I also noticed NOBODY was saying 'I'll come help', either!!!! Antonio did a great job on the white tiles, I can't stop looking at them and grinning! Slowly am getting my things returned to the cabinet tops. Looking like 'my' kitchen again.
I need to get my fruit to eat, and then get busy or take a nap..not sure which will happen next..........
Later... too.
I am not a fan of painting wood cabinets the color of the week.

Hi Ed. I only have one wild cat, and 2 varieties of kibble, and 3 flavors of treats, and a stash of canned food....cat eats every bit as well as I do....and I know your cats do also!!! Lucky little felines!
I think cooler weather is coming to us by next weekend. I'd almost call it cold....night time lows in the 40's.??? YUCK.
I think I saw that for one day in the long term weather forecasts.
FWIW I wonder too, OTOH some of the sources look OK so...Not a fan of these stand alone reports of this and that. Not that I want you to stop posting them understand. But the doubting Thomas gene kicks in, and my brain begins to wonder who, why, and is it legit. etc. Just me....and how I think!! Wonder what prompted Harvard of all places to do such a study. Wonder if the coal, gas, oil, industries or shocker, our POTUS who had any influence in someone writing the article?
I still haven't gotten over Kavanaugh being voted onto the Supreme Court. And then I see verifiable facts like Joe Manchin's daughter Heather being the CEO of the company who manufactures Epi-Pens..and increased the cost of them 400%. (remember that?) Manchin, a Democrat gone wrong........and an offspring who obviously takes after her father.
I have a bit of work...lol...a LOT of work still getting things back into some order in my kitchen. Making sure that everything that goes back in there is needed, cleaned, ummmmmm here come the JW's again. gotta get out of the window...
Later...
IMO and this only a opinion, Whether or not Kavanaugh got confirmed likely the effects on the general population will be 99.99999% Nil. There might be some minimal effect on small groups.
I remember that the Epi Pen price increase struck me as sheer greed. I do wonder at what point in the voting Manchin voted, if it appeared that the confirmation would pass whether he voted pro or con he might have gotten the OK from the Party to vote pro, I could also be wrong.

Few more things to get back into the kitchen...like the toaster oven.. not sure I'm bringing back the food processor...not getting rid of it...just it may not live on the kitchen counter tops
Watched the lentil, kale, & sausage video (at 1.25 speed)...that would be really easy to sub out with vegan sausage, or even diced up mushrooms or/beans. Glad I just ate! I could get hungry.

I still find it amazing that whatever needs to be stored expands to overfill the available space. The only way to keep opened dry things from going stale is put them in the refrigerator and even better the freezer. Sometimes buying in bulk is not worth it.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 82 with an expected high of 83 and 40% chance of precipitation.
I've been up for hours but distracted by this and that and getting out to the store. Got back and heated up some jalapeño poppers for J's lunch and made a turkey on 35calorie/slice whole wheat bread sandwich for my lunch, with a small handful of potato chips. I don't eat potato chips often so that was nice.
Dinner may be a frozen pizza or Eduardo may pop up with some kind of weird idea. One never knows, do one?
