That meatball sure looked like a meatball to me! Or maybe a ball shaped meatloaf?
I've known for many years that Jesus did not likely look like our classical paintings of him, or the actors usually portraying him. Still, many people will insist that he looked like those paintings just because. People believe what they want to believe most of the time.
I think the biggest mistake in eating at a Chinese buffet is just going to eat at the buffet at all! I know I always eat much more food than I need to, with too much fat, too many carbs, way too much salt, and generally more food than I probably needed to eat for the entire day.

Good drizzly Sunday morning.
Won't be playing with the hedge trimmer today! Its electric, and I don't want to end up like the video on transparent crisps! (which I loved BTW)
Cat has been out, my coffee is cold and I'm heading for the shower. (Late shower, I should know better than to open these posts from you guys...one hour gone!but at least I know how my tub was made!
) And I didn't watch Emmy yet. Will save that video for lunch! Lunch, I think will be the same as dinner sandwich last night. Yep, it was THAT good!

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 42 on the porch. The fourth day of the four forecast days of rain was the heaviest so far. Today is forecast to be in the 50s and today through Wednesday is predicted to be dry.
I used the rest of the broth from the Roast Chicken, some more Leftover Rice and some nice slices of the Chicken as a Dinner Entree, Tasty too.
The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is still working well.

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 66 out there now with an expected high of 66. I guess we're already there! 100% chance of precipitation and I can verify that as it was raining as I was preparing my breakfast.
This morning I scrambled a couple of eggs and cooked a small, sliced potato in my StoneWave and added some cheese to it. You may have seen the StoneWave in Mr. White's video showing As Seen On TV items 4 years later. I've had my StoneWave probably for about as long as he's had his. I tend to use it in bursts as I use it for a while and then forget it's in the cabinet and don't use it for a longer while. It made a nice potato side dish for my eggs. I'd swear I have (had?) two of them but only saw the one in the cabinet. Maybe for some reason I stored the other one somewhere else but that doesn't sound like something I'd normally do. I may do a more comprehensive search later to see.
So obviously, I've eaten. I've also cleared the sink but the cats have not yet been fed. They can't be TOO hungry as there was still some of yesterday's kibble in each bowl when I gathered them up at about 7:30 this morning. I'll get to them in a little while.
I tend to use things in bursts too, Who doesn't.
I noticed the George Foreman Grilling machine and keep forgetting to use it when I cook Hamburger.
It looked like a Meatball, My problem with that one is the ingredients. I'm a Traditional Italian or Swedish Meatball type.parityanimal wrote: »That meatball sure looked like a meatball to me! Or maybe a ball shaped meatloaf?

When I meet friends at a Chinese Buffet I tend to eat the Chicken Broccoli and The Green Beans, and the other proteins. I agree that overeating is so easy at any buffet.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Valerie
It sounds as if You do not want Your hair to stand on end from the electric hedge trimmer. It should be Waterproof and double insulated OTOH and unless those protective features are defective You would likely be safe.
Enjoy the Day

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 56 out there now with an expected high of 64 and 90% chance of precipitation.
Not a lot on the agenda today but I do need to get out to the store for some of J's Mountain Dew. While out I'll pick up a few other things on the list.

Ed, did you watch the 'eat as much as you want video? I quit at #8. "Kale, like any other edible seaweed...." Really? Kale is a seaweed? I chuckled to myself when they called the colander a 'COE-lander' but the kale was more than I could take!!! LOL. Oh my!!!
Maybe its a Russian plot to confuse us?
Roger, its been awhile since you found any cents on your daily walks. Maybe its time to change your route? LOL! And I'm like you...avoid 'all you can eat' places. Its almost like a challenge don't you think?

If I said I do not think them challenging if You exclude the challenge of trying not to overeat. What happens to us is we paid for it and get into the mood of wanting to get our money's worth in food.
I change my route daily and do not tend to repeat a route two days in a row The problem is that there are only so many paths that I can take.
I hope to do better finding money as it warms up outside and more people get out and about.
BTW is the Factory grown meat acceptable to a vegetarian (vegan) if it is grown in a vat and not from a animal ?
Thanks

The problem with videos that are mixed is that I am 100% sure some people take them as accurate and if You do not have the knowledge how can You tell what is accurate and what isn't ?
The Ones You link regarding Chinese food are interesting as are some others from the same page.
Yesterday I used a 1/2 cup of Leftover Chinese Rice, Canned Peas and diced up some leftover Chicken and Fried them together in the Cast Iron with some butter as the oil, Nice and Tasty and this morning the scale was kindly. Today I will use up the rest of the rice, peas and chicken as a repeat meal and then back to 100% NS for Wednesday.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 46 out there now with an expected high of 65 and 0% chance of precipitation.
I've been up since about 7:00 but distracted by the usual stuff. I've eaten (sourdough toast with butter, slightly spicy vegetarian "sausage" patties, and scrambled eggs. Dinah had a small bite of scrambled eggs with just salt. Cats have been given breakfast, and the sink is cleared into the dishwasher, which is running.
I found two symbols on the bottom of the cat food bowls that looked mostly like this:
so I take it NOT dishwasher safe,
and also
so I take it NOT microwave safe either.
So even on days when the dishwasher is running, the cat food bowls will not be in there. I would never have thought of putting them in the microwave anyway, but just as well to know for sure.

Rather hefty lunch today, in celebration of National Pancake Day. Dinner will be correspondingly light I think.
And I can have leftover pancakes as part of tomorrow's breakfast! It's impossible to make pancakes from scratch and not have leftovers in this house, as neither of us is going to eat half of a full recipe's worth.

Dinner was just spoon bread (home made, by me) and some Harvest Vegetable Soup from Aldi. I added just a bit of spice and garlic to the soup.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The temperature this morning was 31 on the porch. Today is forecast to be in the high 50s possibly 60 today is predicted to be dry with rain arriving later in the day on Thursday and heavy Friday.
I had two of the Turkey and Stuffing Shelf Stable meals that came in the Holiday pack and I had one of them Yesterday as my Lunch. It was free as I would not have ordered it. I will admit it was tastier than I had remembered from when I originally tried it, And they get some crunch into the stuffing, likely from Celery. The Turkey was as bland as I had remembered it as it is a shaped and formed turkey loaf, However with the Gravy it was OK.
I would Bet a lot of money that I am remembering correctly about the Chicken and BBQ Beans
It is now 230 calories, in a different tray with a different gravy for the chicken whereas in the past the Chicken picked up a nice flavor from the beans and the chicken is much smaller and I believe the beans are fewer too. As I remember it in the past the Calorie count for it was 290 but it was tasty. Now I am sorry I still have some in the cupboard after having the first of the resized one the other day. Drat !
The scale was nicely lower than yesterday morning, again, It seems that the "Time-restricted eating" combined with a 100% NS plan is working really well so far.

Just curious, Salt on eggs for the cat, Were they cooked in butter, Olive Oil or Vegetable oil.
How hard would it have been to make the cat food bowls dishwasher safe considering how many people use dishwashers. I'm guessing that if they were dishwasher safe they would also be Microwave safe, OTOH why would anyone heat cat food ?
Drat, I forgot about national Pancake day and I do have a couple of packets of NS pancake mix. They would have been tasty with a little sweetener and maple extract.parityanimal wrote: »Rather hefty lunch today, in celebration of National Pancake Day. Dinner will be correspondingly light I think.

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 50 out there now with an expected high of only 59 and 100% chance of precipitation. If I get out at all it will just be to Aldi. I do need some paper towels but as I just put the last roll (double size) on the dispenser this morning, I can probably wait until tomorrow.
Breakfast this morning was the rest of the pancakes, along with chicken fried pork cube steak, using, this time, self rising flour for a softer outer texture. I think it also makes a slight difference in the gravy, which I did make, of course, using some of the excess seasoned flour and all of the milk used for dredging, but not enough of a difference in the gravy to matter. I always imagine I detect a slight difference in the "texture" of the gravy too, when using self rising flour, but that may just be my imagination. I doubt the average person would notice any difference. They MIGHT notice that the texture of the fried coating on the steak is a bit softer. Just a bit.
At any rate it was delicious and there is a piece of fried steak left for tomorrow and some leftover gravy too. I think tomorrow's breakfast will be nice, if I don't eat it for lunch today.
Dinah approved of the gravy, and she got to lick some up on a paper plate. Lilo and Kiara declined.
I still need to wash up the knife I'll use to divvy up the cat food in a bit, but all the rest of the "sink" cleanup is done, including, of course, my largest cast iron skillet, which is all washed, dried, and has it's usual very thin coat of "after cleaning" oil applied to the cooking surface.
Dinah is jonesing for food now, but she can wait. She did have s snack of gravy after all, albeit not much of one...

I totally get this video. When I had miniature dachshunds, many moons ago, I could not do this sort of exercising in the house. I had to go to a nearby public park that, luckily, had equipment, including push up bars near the ground, that would allow me to do it there. Sometimes I was alone and sometimes there would be another person doing it. There was also a 1/3 mile track around the perimeter of the park for walking/running, and a soccer field. Sometimes there would be soccer practice going on too. It was a rather nice park in Memphis, and I kind of miss it. I was able to walk maybe 1/4 mile to get there, do my exercising, and be home in not much more than an hour or hour and a half.
I can't do this in the house with cats either. They either want to help or want me to play with them...
