    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!!!

    I've never really used an egg replacer, but have heard good things about flax eggs. And, of course, there are other vegan egg replacers available at the grocery. I have had some success in eggless recipes, using guar gum as a thickener but don't know how well that would work as a binder for the cabbage ball/patties. A little goes a long way.

    Tonight's delicious black beans and rice(d cauliflower) dinner. I enjoyed a big serving of it! I'm loving the riced cauliflower substitution for rice.

    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!
    Hi Ed
    Fluorescent Daylight bulbs is my guess.
    I suspect that with the coming of winter they will need lots of watering too.
    Hot water desperation pie.
    Interesting, I'll know more once I look at all the videos later.

    Looks good and tasty to me.

    Hi! 11-11-18
    The leaves just fell from the tree outside my window...what looked like baskets of them! Ted to be here within the hour...

    Will go back and watch the 'Emmy's' video's later today.

    Cornbread...milk or other dairy and eggs. butter to margarine, so the flour and cornmeal and baking soda/powder are about the only 'constants' with corn bread. And yes, there is a product called 'egg replacer', That I don't have, ground flax? I do have!!! :) Since I roasted so much food yesterday, I probably won't be making cornbread soon, but I will try it, cuz I can only 'sometimes' find it at Whole Foods...(vegan), and when I eat chili, I want cornbread to go with it.!!
    Hi Valerie
    I know what happened, the leaves heard that Ted was coming and decided to add to his work.

    Cornbread with Chili ? I Like Shredded Cheddar and Crumbled crackers or Oyster crackers on it.
    Why not buy extra when You do see it and Freeze some of it for future use ?
    Supposed to be sunny again today...hey, its cold, but bright and sunny...which trumps the next 4 days..with predictions of 50 to 100% rain daily....That's gonna be ugly! I just hope it doesn't bring the aching bones and joints like several days last week. That was not fun.

    The cartoons were great this morning Roger. Loved the mossy hair series.

    Gotta go...out on my back porch, in a heavy duty black plastic garbage bag, are my roasting pan, and all four burner grates and drip pans...lounging all night in ammonia! When I bring them in they will wash up, no scrubbing needed. I love it. Came to me as a heads up from a cousin. Easiest cleaning ever. I don't think I'd use it on aluminum, but works great of my speckled granite roasting pan, and same on the drip pans. Only recently did I try it on the grates, and was amazed at how good they looked! If you're tempted to try do this...I really needs to be outside for overnight...just incase the bag leaks. Only a cup of ammonia can make a nasty stink, and isn't good to breathe either!

    Ok, time is running rampant, and Ted will be here shortly...

    Later...
    Sometimes the Swamp Cartoons come in series so, I liked those also or You wouldn't have seen them :wink:

    I hope that the 50% comes true and misses You. I get tired of rain too. Tomorrow is supposed to rainy with periods of heavy rain.

    And here my brother has been using Easy Off on the burners and drip pans. I do not know how or if Ammonia interacts with Aluminum, I do know Bleach does bad things to Aluminum.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous murky Monday! 4C/40F with an expected high of 8C/45F and a personally verified 100% chance of rain. I hope Ted was able to get all of Val's leaves cleaned up!

    Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and feed the cats. And rainy days are GREAT for napping so hope to get some of that in too. :)

    We do have some very hot "plant light" tubes on a rack where we can hang plants if we need to, but we hope to not have to use that set. I replaced the bulbs in the main garage light with two 100 watt equivalent daylight LED bulbs to save power and still provide plenty of daylight for the plants that are currently in there. The old bulbs were/are soft white LED bulbs at the same equivalence, and can be used elsewhere if needed prior to Spring and warmer weather.

    We're trying to change over to LED where possible. Right now the zen penguin room (aka sunroom) at back has 4 60 watt equivalent daylight fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling fan, but we plan to transition those into LED as they burn out. The kitchen ceiling fan has two 60 watt equivalent soft white fluorescent and (for the couple of plants in there) two 60 watt equivalent daylight LED bulbs so it looks a little unbalanced but eventually it will be all LED and all daylight, as I prefer that myself in the winter anyway, since I don't get much sunlight and daylight or full spectrum bulbs help keep the winter blues away somewhat.

    While I somewhat agree with Mr. Wolfe's assessment of the taste and enjoyability of this particular frozen dinner, I believe if I had to have this as my one and only Thanksgiving dinner I'd have to at least properly plate it so that it doesn't look so depressing. Otherwise I might have to call the men in the white coats to come and get me after dinner. Oh, and I'd also probably eat two of them, as that's not a whole lot of food for Thanksgiving.

    Thanksgiving dinner should not be eaten out of a paper tray, but should be presented properly with a nice place setting, to maximize the enjoyment of the meal. Presentation IS important.

    Some people have tamales for Christmas (or maybe Thanksgiving too?) and some people have lasagna for Thanksgiving. Maybe for Christmas too. I know one couple who usually have roast beef for Christmas. Whatever rings your holiday chimes, right?

    Well, if you DO want lasagna for your holiday meal, it doesn't have to be so carb laden with the noodles...

    And for a somewhat more gourmet version of the inevitable green bean casserole (it looks and sounds delicious!) we have Chef John giving us a delightful sounding version. A bit more work, but possibly well worth it.

    Hi Ed
    The rain was supposed to start before midnight so I shall call it a 100% chance of rain for Monday and Tuesday.

    Interesting that You can get LED tubes to replace the older type Fluorescent lamps. I wonder, I would have thought that You could get Fixtures equipped with LED lamps. Since the voltages involved are way different I wonder how the electronics in the LED replacements stay cool enough in a closed fixture. I do not plan to switch before the old bulbs die either. The Thing I have not decided on yet is keep using up the unused CFL lamps in the cupboard before buying more LED bulbs. We have a couple of them that were bought on sale. My suspicion is that I shall use LED bulbs where the lights are on a lot of the time such as in the Kitchen, CFLs in the bathrooms would seem to work for me. Hmm... I should LED the basement computer room since the lights are on a fair amount of time.
    Ramen Three ways
    I have seen it used many ways, I wonder if the video shows something new to me.

    I am not sure how You could make the Turkey Loaf look presentable. It looks to me like Turkey chunks glued together with meat glue. Add in the Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, gravy and a Apple Cranberry desert and there is no way that is a low carb meal. Before I bought that I would likely buy a 1/2 Roasted Turkey Breast from the ShopRite grocery Store and Maybe Stove Top Stuffing :)

    The Turkey looks a lot like the turkey in the NS non refrigerated Turkey with stuffing. Choice of Vegetable up to the person eating it.
    Some people have tamales for Christmas (or maybe Thanksgiving too?) and some people have lasagna for Thanksgiving. Maybe for Christmas too. I know one couple who usually have roast beef for Christmas. Whatever rings your holiday chimes, right?

    Well, if you DO want lasagna for your holiday meal, it doesn't have to be so carb laden with the noodles...
    Some Italian Families serve Lasagna with the Holiday meal.

    If I said my brother does not care for the Classic Green Bean Casserole with the Crumbled Fried Onions on top.
    The Classic Green Bean Casserole Recipe from Campbell's. BTW I suspect that You know this, however just in case, Green bean casserole creator Dorcas Reilly dies at 92.

    Really, really quick HELLO!!! 11-12-18
    I came in here to my little desk area, which is sufficiently cluttered, as if to say something/someone important works long hours here....Nope, just little ole me! (yes, I digressed )
    Started going thru mail, found an interesting pod cast. Listened for half hour, and so pumped over a 'Cauliflower - Pumpkin Curry', that I've printed it, and heading to the kitchen to make lunch. No, I haven't even had breakfast yet...but I DID drink my coffee :)
    As an aside while presenting the recipe, this Dietician, Lee Crosby, mentioned that she used roasted cauliflower florets...well, guess who did all that roasting over the weekend, and still has a lot of cauliflower???? Also she did a bit of info about what's really in a can of 'Pumpkin', and how to get 100% real pumpkin...back to that later....

    And Tom E. Cat is alive and well...I pretty much expected him to be dead this morning. again To Be Continued...

    Later.....
    Hi Valerie
    The only way I know of to have 100% Pumpkin is to make Your own :smiley:
    Hi, still trying to catch up.
    My dinner tonite was tasty...I just 'made it up' from what was already in the refrigerator! Was tasty! I meant to steam some cabbage today, but I really don't need it so will do that later in the week.
    Ed, I hope you're not in the flood areas. I'm hi and dry here...I mean the house is..its rained all danged day. And the flood warning goes on til some time tomorrow. I have to go out at noon thirty for an appointment...not thrilled, but gotta go.
    Oh, great. News/weather on TV. Rain is still 100% tomorrow, and now its 70% Wednesday and 60% Thursday. Boy, am I looking forward to FRIDAY!!!

    Roger, some things freeze better than others, and this is not one of the good kind. Don't know why, and I'm pretty sure I can make it cheaper at home, and hopefully less fat than what I get at WF.

    Ed, slowly I am going all LED too, and like you Daylight. The warm is just not 'light' enough to suit me. Rather depressing light if you ask me. I especially like the white light in the kitchen!
    To much rain in my weather forecast too. I hope Your drive to the appointment goes well and speedily.

    I do wonder if LED lighting is associated with problems as are video displays.
    https://www.preventblindness.org/blue-light-and-your-eyes

    Blue Light and Your Eyes

    Current understanding of the effects of blue light from digital device screens on your sight or your child's sight
    Waiting to hear from my little brother...he had snow over the weekend, and an old friend of mine has moved to St. Louis, and posted pix of snow where he works... The Local STL Fox TV station came on live on fb, and from what I could see of the maps...my brother, who's more in the center or NE part of the state, is getting snow again. Know why I live in GA???? LOL!

    About Tom E. Yesterday he let Ted pet him...twice!! Ted is now the only other person he would tolerate. And he was especially 'sweet', for a crusty ole cat...and I woke wondering if he knew he was going to be going over the bridge...But, not so. He is being nicer, but same ole Tom E. I'm glad...as much as I fuss about him, when he is gone I will really miss him. Little pest. LOL!

    Ok, I'm going to catch up on some video's soon as the national news is over.

    Later...
    Snow is a four letter curse word in my vocabulary :wink:

    Good Luck with the cat.
    Oh, Pumpkin...is a squash cousin..or maybe even sibling...anyhow, the talk was on what is REALLY in your can of pumpkin puree. One company IS 100% real pumpkin, and only pumpkin. Seems as though they grow their own pumpkins....Its Libby. So next time your in the grocery just sing the Libby, libby, libby song to yourself. Or out loud if you feel like it!

    Well heck...Roger you're close to Philly...and snow and/or flooding...you and your brother stay dry and safe. Take a walking day off if need be tomorrow.
    I had heard and forgotten that many Pumpkin pie filling cans use squash too.

    Sweet potato pie tastes a lot like pumpkin pie also. Libby has been around as long as I have if my memory has not failed me.

    The rain although steady was not super heavy while I was out walking, So far so good, Too warm around here for snow, Yesterday the cars and grass were all covered with frost.

    Have a Nice Day

    9C/48F with an expected high of 11C/51F and 60% chance of precipitation.

    Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and feed the cats. And I need to go and get my new eye glasses, as they were ready yesterday afternoon but I wasn't going to get out in rainy, after school traffic to pick them up. I'll get out this morning, after rush hour is all over.

    A nap didn't happen yesterday, as we ended up having issues with Oliver and an emergency vet visit. It looks like he may (quite likely) have FIP and if he does, then we may not have him with us too much longer. They drained a lot of fluid out of his chest and he's breathing more easily now, and had his appetite back after the vet visit. The bloodwork supported the probable diagnosis but we're waiting on the results of the lab work on the aspirated fluid. Meanwhile, the doctor is also researching to see if there are any real treatments that may have been devised since her last case of it. She said she lost one of her own cats to FIP and if it IS that, there haven't been, up to now, any effective treatments and it's at least 95% fatal, usually over a fairly short time frame.

    There is a small chance that it might be some other health issue but for now we're not holding out a lot of hope on that. He's such a sweet kitten. For the moment we are expecting the worst but still holding out that tiny thread of hope for the best.

    If we lose Oliver, we WILL be getting another cat (or kitten) but it may be some time before we do. Perhaps not until next calendar year, what with J's work load and the holidays and all. Then again, a Christmas kitty could be cool...but maybe we won't even have to worry about that.

    I had to get back out for cat food today too, as I forgot to get it while out getting the spectacles. Oliver's breathing today isn't great and neither is his appetite. At this point I am not expecting good news tomorrow from the vet, and honestly have doubts as to whether he'll even last out another week or two. :( But we will still hang on. Where there is life, there is hope, or so they say. Sometimes I think they are full of crap though.

    Oliver has 5 days worth of canned cat food left, except that he didn't eat but half of his canned food today and wasn't too interested in treats this evening. I am feeling very sad at the moment. Normally I'd have been buying more canned kitten food too, and I even briefly looked at that at the pet store but realistically doubt he'll eat what we have. Maybe if he seems to have any appetite tomorrow I'll go out in the rain and get a can of fish flavor to see if that stimulates his appetite.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and still No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 36 degrees. There in rain in the forecast for Tuesday afternoon into Friday. The forecast is for the northern half of NJ to start as a wet snow and rain in the southern part. The Snow is supposed to turn to rain at some point.

    Hi Ed
    I do not blame You for not wanting to get out in the rain and traffic, I would do the same thing too.

    I'm sorry to hear that has happened to Oliver, Can I guess it will not transfer to the other cats ?

    I hope You have good luck and that Oliver falls into the other 5%.
    Keto bacon cauliflower "mac" and cheese.
    Mac in quotes is right. I would have to make it as I know my traditionalist cook brother will not use Cauliflower as a substitute for other foods.
    If you could turn back time...to the 1950's?
    Nothing wrong with the 50s, Good music, Good Movies, Good Food IMO. Styles maybe.
    Microwave Thanksgiving!
    I'm not so sure about this, A Microwave IMO is best for reheating. Certain foods can cooked in it, "Baked" Potato, I did a ersatz hard boiled egg in it last week. I used a ceramic coffee cup, broke the 2 eggs into it, microwaved for a period and stirred the eggs then MW'd until a hard boiled egg texture. Not useful as a Deviled Egg of course, But fine for Egg Salad use. I looked at the Internet and they said do not Microwave in the shell as it can explode :smiley:
    Microwave Popcorn of course works, It just does not have a real butter flavor.

    Not that great at cooking raw meat IMO.

    I like the look of the glasses, they look a lot like mine TBH.
    I had to get back out for cat food today too, as I forgot to get it while out getting the spectacles. Oliver's breathing today isn't great and neither is his appetite. At this point I am not expecting good news tomorrow from the vet, and honestly have doubts as to whether he'll even last out another week or two. :( But we will still hang on. Where there is life, there is hope, or so they say. Sometimes I think they are full of crap though.

    Oliver has 5 days worth of canned cat food left, except that he didn't eat but half of his canned food today and wasn't too interested in treats this evening. I am feeling very sad at the moment. Normally I'd have been buying more canned kitten food too, and I even briefly looked at that at the pet store but realistically doubt he'll eat what we have. Maybe if he seems to have any appetite tomorrow I'll go out in the rain and get a can of fish flavor to see if that stimulates his appetite.
    Good Luck

    Hi!
    Ed, I like the new look..very nice! Really like the frames. Looks good on you!

    Just now getting to eat my dinner. Rice and gravy with carrot, mushroom and onion. Good healthy sprinkle of Nutritional Yeast, and what was left of the curried cauliflower. Looks pretty 'plain' but tastes good!

    Roger IMO Snow has always been a dirty word!! Right along with sleet, ice, (especially black ice), and any other words meaning, cold, and difficult driving.

    Managed to get out today and back pretty dry. So I was feeling pretty perky...then I realized I'd forgotten to pick up cat food....back out again. Hate days when I do that. Anything else, and I wouldn't have gone back out..but, Tom E.'s gotta eat!

    Ed, I will hang on that thread of hope that Oliver doesn't have FIP right along with you. And that explains the 3 olive martini yesterday. I was concerned then...I knew it had to be something pretty big..never even entered my mind that it was Oliver. Hoping for the very best outcome.

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    Darn it I seem to have lost my first reply. The dinner sounds good to me.

    I did not mention the rest of the snow related problems but I agree they are all bad, The Black ice is the worst followed by Sleet. I do not worry about my driving skill in the snow it is the other people on the road that worry me.

    I ordered these:

    Howdy all y'all. It's wet Wednesday. 9C/49F with an expected high of 9C/50F and 100% chance of rain. We might have to get out in it, with Oliver. We'll see. For now we are waiting for the doctor's call but his breathing doesn't look good.

    And hopefully I can get in a nap at some point. Didn't manage that yesterday at all, and it's not looking great for it today either.
