Might do some laundry today, and could possibly get out to Aldi for some paper towels and to look at fruits and vegetables there.
Need to feed the cats, of course. I have already cleaned up yesterday's cat bowls!
And I would like a nap. Haven't looked yet to see just when the precipitation might come.
Wednesday and Thursday were both dry days, now we appear to be having two wet days with a possibility of Thunderstorms in the Evening.
Good Luck at Aldis.
Yesterday I took advantage of the nice warm day and went to the ShopRite grocery store and redeemed our $400 over a period of time for the free ShopRite Turkey up to 22 pounds. Since I found one that was 22.10 pounds I did have to pay the tiny extra for the .10 pound
We saved $32.78 plus the 15 cents I paid if I am reading the receipt right. We both figured get the biggest we could get in the free 18 to 22 pound turkey to have plenty of leftovers.
It now resides in the basement Freezer alongside my NS foods and other items. Next Item to be purchased for Thanksgiving will be my Brother Buying Fresh Cranberries for Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Bread Stuffing Mix, Potatoes, Celery, Black Olives, Sweet Gherkins and Carrots to go on a relish Dish. To be followed by Whipping Cream and Pumpkin Pie ingredients.parityanimal wrote: »Looks like a tasty take on collard greens.

Rain comes and goes today. Interesting, yesterday during my nap, it must have rained pretty hard, and was in-fact still raining. I stepped onto the screened porch and looked out, saying not a word. Then walked back into the house, as I was about to close the sliding door, here came Tom E. from the roof...dry... This is the same cat that I have to call repeatedly to come in from the roof...and how could he be dry?? I have no answers. But there must be a small overhang somewhere up there. Cuz, it was not a toad strangler, but a good solid rain..and a dry cat...hmmmm. That's one for Schrodinger !!
He now also needs about a tablespoon of grated cheddar cheese with his dinner now too! I kinda figured after he made quick work of the cheese the first time that I was making a serious error!! LOL!. I will however in the future be purchasing the cheese already grated!
Interesting, even if there were an overhang how did he not get wet coming down off of the roof and onto the screened porch ? Ah yes, the famous Schrodinger's Cat. That is sort of along the lines of saying "Everything I say is a Lie".
Your cat likes Grated Cheddar, interesting also. It is a lot easier to use already grated, OTOH You pay a premium for them do the work unless You can find it on sale.Yes, Roger, I now have 3 salt grinders....one is small, and about empty, which is what prompted me to get another...it is actually a Salt and a Pepper grinder...but both look identical, seem to work the same..ie same size grind. Comes in handy...since I don't salt my food when cooking, and only sometimes salt before eating, and since meals can be at the table, or the desk in the front room...its handy to have 2.
I was surprised that my morning banana didn't last until lunch time...its about all I ever eat every morning. One banana. Next day I was back to my normal 1 banana, and late lunch. ????? I dunno!
My brother never uses salt when cooking so I learned to salt to taste. The Pea soup he made was salty enough, likely from the Pieces of Pennsylvania Dutch Ham he included when simmering it on the stove.Gym tonite...weather guessers seem to think that the rain will be over by then. I sure hope. Nite driving in the rain is not fun anymore!
Ed, what do you think about the Governor race at this point? Her side says there are still votes to be counted, and in sufficient numbers to force a run off....and HE, the big boob, has already declared himself the winner. (Roger he's still the Sec. of State...so he sets the rules in the election. And he's been pretty darned underhanded. Purging thousands of votes, closing voting sites in rural GA. etc...and now declaring himself the winner....Sounds like he's being coached by someone ....
I sure hope these leaves dry out by Sunday...otherwise Ted's first leaf 'extravaganza' is going to be pretty brutal!! LOL!..and the trees are still at about 90% leafed.
Ok, time to hit the shower, and hope for clear weather!
Later...
Your Governors race seems to be a He said, she said as far as results. I have been looking at the news links that give information. There are (Were) voting problems countrywide as far as I can tell.
I wonder if we also be seeing something like the Florida Vote when Bush was elected where they scrutinized the paper ballots to determine the intent of the voter and it ended up in the Supreme Court ?
90% leafed by You, looking out the window the tree across the street is leafless and the neighbors next to our driveway on has a few diehards hanging on. I can see different types of trees that still have nicely colored leaves in the distance OTOH.
I hope the roads were nice and dry for You

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 12C/53F with an expected high of 15C/58F and 70% chance of precipitation except that I'm sure I heard some precipitation hitting the stove vent so I think it's actually 100% where I am.
Need to get yesterday's laundry folded and put away, and need to clean yesterday's cat bowls. And the cats would probably appreciate it if I fed them this morning, but it's too early for that. Not that they'd complain if I did it now...
Managed to "sleep in" to at least a few minutes after 6:00 this morning. Thanks, Lilo!
Might meet a friend for breakfast (well, coffee for me as I already had breakfast) this morning but doubt if that will actually happen, as I'd think he'd have contacted me this morning by now. But we'll see. Will hop in the shower shortly, just in case.
If I get out (I didn't yesterday) then Aldi is still on the "to do" list for paper towels and Walgreens might be on that list for a vitamin that I didn't get last time but opened the last bottle of this morning. No rush on that as the bottle I just opened will last a while. And Kroger has some of their cheeses on sale for $0.99 so I might, if I get out, also run by there to take a look.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 44. The rain in the forecast for Friday afternoon arrived, It did move out earlier than forecast. Things were still wet outside and the sidewalks were covered with wet leaves.
The Halloween decorations are gone and I have started seeing Christmas lights this week.

We hit 100% precip Friday too, I do not now if it rained into Saturday as the rain appeared to have ended early before 10PM Friday despite the earlier forecast that showed it going into Saturday morning. Better for me, it was only wet and even the trees did not drip on me while walking. I did take care not to step into puddles and tried to avoid walking through wet leaves on the sidewalks. Two reasons for that, I hate wet feet and I would not want to step on an uneven surface or a hidden branch under the leaves.
99 cents a pound for cheese is pretty good, I will also admit that I am not surprised however.

Thanks Ed. So its Kroger today or tomorrow for cheap cheese! Good to know. I wondered why it wasn't listed in the weekly ad. Now I know!
Speaking of know I know...Tom E. was outside yesterday, and I let him in just as soon as I was able to get home, (3 miles to/from Sweet Tomatoes....30 minutes of sitting in bumper to bumper traffic.) and he was soaked. Willingly let me dry him off with a hand towel that I keep at the door. SO, I'm GUESSING that the difference between dry cat and wet cat, is directional. He must have been able to hide? shield himself beside the chimney on the dry day. Just my 'theory'.
Hanging Chads....I didn't make the association, but I think that may be a great analogy Roger!
The Free Turkey from the ShopRite was a result of spending $400 within a designated period, The Acme since they discontinued the use of key tags gives out a free turkey for spending $100 in one visit. Thus it is conceivable someone could end up with lots of free turkeys from there if they have a large family.
I wonder if Your cat was chilled due to the soaking and temperature ? Your surmise on wet cat vs dry cat does make sense.
The hanging chads ordeal was the first thing to pop into my head. I know they changed the voting system, OTOH any system such as New York States where You mark a paper ballot that then gets scanned would seem to me to have a chance of errors.Load of clothes in the washer...and a thing or two more to 'get started'...and then I'll see where my morning is going. Weather guessers say this mornings rain should be ending about 4p. SO, do I go to Kroger in the rain? or do I drive home at 5:30-ish in Friday rush hour traffic???? Lifes little decisions! ARG!
Took picture of the fallen leaves in my front yard...Ted will be out Sunday. He made me laugh...Would wait til Sunday and hope they dry by then...or that it gets just a few degrees colder than forecasted, and he will pick the leaves up in sheets!!! Smarty pants kid!! LOL! Thinking back...this may very well be his first time to blow, rake, and dispose of leaves. I think he may learn a thing or three.
Ok, time I get some stuff going, and check on the laundry that is going.
Later...
Waiting for the rains to end long enough for the leaves to dry here, The Bags get heavy enough without Wet ones adding to the weight two ways, Water weight and being wet that they would settle easy leaving more room for leaves. Luckily the town provides 1 Bundle of leaf bags to residents. Despite that I see Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart bags at the curb, Why, Maybe they can't make it when the recycle center is open or ignorance of the freebies.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 3C/37F with an expected high of 10C/51F and 0% chance of precipitation.
J has been moving plants inside the greenhouse and into the garage, and we will likely complete that process today as much as possible. Rain last night forced a halt for the day, as it wasn't getting below freezing last night anyway.
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and feed the cats. We have orchid photography this afternoon. And I still haven't made it to Kroger for cheese so we may stop there while out.
And it should come as no surprise to anyone that I still need to fold and put away that laundry.

Yesterdays weather forecast was for the remaining areas that had not already had a hard frost to get one, The 30 degrees out the door and the ice on the puddle seem to confirm the accuracy of that forecast, Winter is coming
Time to bend the fig trees over and cover them with leaves off of the lawn for the winter, Also Dig up the Dahlias and put them into storage for next years planting. The Bale of Peat moss is sitting in the shed ready to be used for that. I am not rushing to dig them as I know the frost will not get to the tubers for a while, Likely not before the daytime highs are below freezing.

GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Grief...why didn't I post this morning? Oh, well...
Spent the morning in the kitchen prepping, and roasting a lot of veggies. Roasted a red pepper, a head of cauliflower, a sweet potato, a russet potato, a pound of pre cut butternut squash, (that was easy), an onion, and one batch I think maybe the russet potato had 3 cloves of garlic with it...put the pepper in a paper bag, and 'skinned' it when it had cooled a bit. It'll get chopped or sliced into any number of dishes, I also roasted an entire bag of Brussels Sprouts...after they'd roasted about 20 minutes, I turned every one of those little dudes over, one at a time...put them back into the oven, set the timer...and totally forgot about them...cutest little walnut colored charcoal lumps you've ever seen........I'd set, but not started the timer.... I was so mad at myself. Will have to buy another bag, as I was really looking forward to eating those.Everything else is good, and will last me most of the coming week... Tonites dinner is left over Tofu Teriyaki. Made it last night with water chestnuts, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot etc. Oh, and snap peas. Was good buy way to much to eat, so I have leftovers...YIPEE!!!
The only way I get here daily is by coming and posting when I return from walking and before I eat Breakfast otherwise it might not get done.
Yesterday I took a Stainless Steel pan, melted some butter in it and tossed in some Dried Sweet Corn left from last years crop, one it was done popping, a Dish with a paper towel for the grease AKA melted Butter, Salted to taste and a nice crunchy treat if likely not super low calorie. When I say popped I do not mean they pop like Popcorn they pop back up to slightly larger that the original kernel. I do have to keep the lid on so as not to get splattered with stings and is messy.The sun has been out since early this morning...Tom E and I have a 'morning routine' I come out of my room, walk the 4-5 steps, turn off the house alarm, open the door to the garage, and 'WE' look outside. Then I turn, and tell Tom I need to do my job....(hit the start button on the coffee)..somehow, he lets me walk over there without challenging me by herding me elsewhere, or otherwise trying to trip me...then the walk thru the living room, I really have to be careful ...the herding begins. Open his can of wet food, and put kibble in his other dish, get him some fresh water, take my thyroid pill, grab my banana, a glass of water, and hopefully get thru the living room while he's still eating. Pick up my coffee and go straight to my desk, closing the door behind me!!! Most mornings I will come out shortly, and invite him to go outside...by opening the front door, and the storm door. These rainy mornings he looks, and goes back into the living room. But after being indoors for 2 days straight he BOLTED out the door today, and I've not seen him since. I'm sure he's found a nice sunny spot and has napped all day! Nearly 5 p.m. so he should show up shortly for his dinner...
Because I love cabbage, the cabbage balls sounded good to me...easy enough to do, except the eggs. I'm open for suggestions Ed. I've never made flax eggs, but I may give that a try. I eat ground flax daily anyway...so if it actually holds the mix together...mmmmmm!!!
That reminds me, I need to have my brother add a small banana or two to the grocery list
I thought there were Vegan Egg Substitutes You could use for the eggs ?I did go to Kroger, in a rain break...spent a long time in there...looking at everything, talking with Theresa my Starbucks Boss Lady...etc. and got into my car also during a 'dry' few moments...Its so nice to be able to just drive into the garage....
Oh, I didn't watch about the egg drop soup...no way I can make that without chicken, chicken broth, and real laid by a hen egg! LOL!
Kitchen is cleaned up after my hours of chopping and seasoning, and roasting all my veg's...so I think I'll close my eyes and think up another chore to be done after dinner! Probably one in the front room. This room has been ignored for well over a month or two...ahem.....
Later tomorrow...I'll let you know how the leaf blowing goes for Ted. He has no clue what he's getting himself into!! And Lu and her son, Christopher blew the leaves out of their yard, and would have done mine, but I caught them in time...it was noon...and I was still in my robe and jammies. We all laughed. I'm still in my jam's and still laughing. No need to get dressed, at this hour. LOL!! Cat doesn't care, and some days neither do I...
Later...
The room will not run away and there is always tomorrow
As soon as I am up I am into the shorts I wear around the house. If the house feels cold then I might put on the Pajama bottoms ans a long sleeve shirt over the shorts. Why over them, simple I hate having to chase down the phone, FitBit and Keys that fall out of the Pajamas shallow pockets.
Last night was the first night of the season I left the heat running instead of turning it off upon retiring and back on after rising. From the weather forecast I think it will now be running 24 - 7 until spring.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 2C/36F with an expected high of 12C/53F and 0% chance of precipitation.
I did get the laundry folded and put away yesterday, and got the light bulbs in the garage changed over to DAYLIGHT bulbs to give the plants that have been moved in some proper light. This means, of course, that the light in the garage is on all day for the plants. J got the little space heater set up in there for them and we'll be putting a fan behind it soon to circulate the heat better.
Need to clean out yesterday's cat bowls and feed the cats. Never did get to Kroger for cheese yesterday but no big deal. Not as if I'm running out of that!
