Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi!! More tomorrow...
Hope you've had a good evening, and will have a great sleep!
I'm heading for the latter...
4 loads of clothes washed..3 dried, folded AND put away!!! the 4th load is in the dryer, and I'm not waiting up for it.
I may be waiting up, but for Tom E.
I let him out and have gone to the door multiple times...called, and usually he'd come running. Not this last time..No Tom E. Its not going to be so cold that he'd freeze out, but it is going to be very rainy...little brat cat needs to come in the house...
Later...
I tend to do one load per day, that is enough to be folded and put away for me. My Brother does two loads on his wash day, One whites and one colors.
I hope You had good luck with Your Cat

Howdy all y'all. It's soggy Saturday! 4C/39F with an expected high of 5C/41F and 100% chance of precipitation, verified.
Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and possible do a little house cleaning. Since it's a truly icky day, a nap would be very nice too. I hope to not need to get out in it at all.
Finally finished off the huge pot of vegetarian chili I made the other night. Last night's cheesy chili mac was the final dish, and I warmed up the last serving for breakfast today. We had it as chili (twice) and then spaghetti with chili, and finally as cheesy chili mac. All were tasty dishes.
Well, let's see if I can find some interesting videos for this morning.

Soggy days are something that are not on my list of likes also.
I would not have thought of putting Chili on Spaghetti. I like shredded cheese on Chili with a preference for Cheddar. Chili with cheese on Macaroni is my interpretation of Cheesy Chili Mac.

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 2C/35F with an expected high of 3C/37F and 50% chance of precipitation.
I need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. Two of the four felines just returned to my office space licking their lips so they either ate their breakfast or they ate the other two feline. Well, I just heard one of the other two so I guess they ate their breakfast. I didn't see any blood on their lips anyway.
I might get out today, depending on the weather at any specific time, for a little grocery shopping and maybe a stop by the pet store to pick up some canned food for the cats.
And a friend might want to meet for tea/dinner this afternoon/evening. Different friend than the one who wants to meet for lunch sometime soon. I'm starting to think I might be a nice person or something. LOL.

Lucky You, Sunday here was gray and clouded over and the only way it could have looked worse outdoors would be if it had rained.
At 8:30AM the new kitchen floor is scheduled to be installed. I am hoping it is not super disruptive to my staying 100% NS for the mid day meal. If it is going to run later than that I may have to have some sort of takeout food or go hungry. Staying 100% for the last few days and turning down temptation has let me lose some weight
Naturally either my brother of myself will need to be home while the installation is going on. I let my brother decide what is going on the floor and he wanted something that no water could get through as well as being economical thus for now at least Linoleum, Congoleum as far I remember.
I think You are correct that You are a really nice person

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi...
Not a good day for me posting. I didn't realize I'd already read all the posts..so did a copy function to go back, and then later got distracted by an email, copied an address..and of course there went my post to y'all!
Ok, why would anyone want to make Soy Free Tofu??? Tofu IS soy...oh well. At my house the tofu is the real deal!
The principle who banned any and everything Christmas at her school needs a new job. She's obviously risen above her abilities. Remember the "Peter Principles"...yeah...
I may actually try the egg thing. It surely does LOOK like an egg, and I can attest to the 'black salt' making things smell and taste like egg. Why would I go to the trouble??? to spoof my kids of course!!!
My feeling about Tofu too, Why bother.
That principle has been suspended, hopefully to be permanently gone.
I can see You taking that so called egg to a family dinner just to mess with them
I liked some of them more than others, OTOH I like all of the cartoons/images I use.Ed, you are a nice person...and I can see if I want an afternoon cup of coffee and chatting with you, or you and J, I'd better get my act together and hopefully we can agree on a date. Otherwise you'll spread yule cheer with all your other friends!! LOL!!
Tom did eventually come to the door Roger...just exhibiting his 'independence' I guess...who knows...he's a cat after all.....
Couple of the cartoons from the past few days have really cracked me up..and no I'm not going back to check on which ones...losing one post per day is enough!
Earlier today I thought I saw a rain snow mix. But, nothing outside to back up that observation...oh well...
To the good You are not having the weather that NC is having.
I think the thing that I dislike about tablets vs Laptop computers is the battery not being user replaceable. Same thing with the iPod, it is so handy however that I ignore that fact. Apple charges a fair price for battery replacement on them and only on the latest models from before they were discontinued.Tom's asleep, I'm in my jam's, and I think I'll go play with the iPad for a bit. Did that last night, and it backfired on me...I fell asleep trying to find a good Scrabble word, and woke about 1 a.m. and was awake til at least 6 this morning...did nap til 8:30. So, don't want to do that again.
I did make it to the gym today, made Pablo happy! And I got all my steps in yesterday, indoors. Today, the TM made it much easier to get my steps and then some. Will try for the gym tomorrow afternoon..and Tues. Wed, I'll be in Atlanta all day, so no gym. Chiro and Hair cut woohoo! Save myself a bit of driving!. Probably won't see Ted though...well, maybe?? We'll see.
I need to make a Costco run soon. Need kitty litter, and another 20 lb bag of rice. Want one or two of the bags of Teriyaki kits. There are 3 or 4 kits per bag...They have long expiration dates, and come in handy on nights I really don't want the usual veg bowls that I normally make. Something else from Costco...hopefully I'll remember between now and Thurs. or Friday??? hmmmm.
Later...
I need to make a CostCo run also, Paper goods, and I am wondering if they have Fire Extinguishers in the store since I would like to have one for each floor especially the kitchen. A Teriyaki kit sounds tasty, I'm guessing they are in the frozen section ? Good luck remembering what else You want since it would be a pain walking every aisle to see if that jogs Your memory.
Good idea IMHO to do all the running around with one trip.
Congratulations on getting to the Gym and getting Your steps in.

Howdy all y'all. It's muggy Monday! 4C/39F with an expected high of 6C/42F and 80% chance of precipitation.
For the past 15 minutes I've been sitting in front of my computer doing nothing but pet Orion. When he gets in my lap and wants attention, NOTHING ELSE is allowed. I must, MUST use both hands to pet and stroke him, or let him nuzzle one while the other is stroking. My tea must be allowed to cool. If I attempt to get a drink of it, he gives me a complaining meow and a look that says, "HOW DARE YOU!" so while I may occasionally steal a sip, it's not easy.
He's still in my lap, but now he's having a bath. I guess that's the best place to have a bath though really I would think that sitting in J's chair would be more comfortable for that, but I'm not a cat so can't really know.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and feed the felines. Sounds like another icky day that I'd rather not get out in if I can help it.

I have some ground lamb thawing. I have sweet potatoes.
Pondering Moroccan shepherd's pie with sweet potato for dinner. This recipe, which can be made VEGAN by using chickpeas instead of lamb, sounds very tasty. Edwierdo...er Eduardo may insist on giving it a try, with a couple of ingredient substitutions and alterations in quantities.

I did make it downtown today at lunchtime to see one friend. The other is still on hold until we can fine a commonly convenient time for a meal meeting.
The downtown friend (miserable wet drive down and back) and I had a very nice time but never actually got around to going back out into the weather to find food, as neither one of us really wanted to, but that's all right. There were issues on getting into (and out of, later) the parking garage at his building. I stopped on my way home and got something to eat, so it was all good and it was nice spending time with my friend. Next time, if the weather is better, I may just take the MARTA down and walk from the station to his building.
I'm glad you copied the Moroccan Shepherd's Pie. I think you'll love it if you make it!
Eduardo made a variation on the lamb version and it was absolutely delicious. There was probably more chili (OK, I KNOW there was more chili) in it than called for but it was still not terribly spicy.
I expect the vegan chickpea version would be delicious as well. If J liked sweet potatoes, I'd make that one for him, but as he doesn't, I guess I won't, though it does give me an idea for a vegan cottage pie that he might like. I'll have to let Eduardo ponder the possibilities.

I am somewhat surprised that Your weather is muggy and yet that cool. Our first chance of precipitation is Friday night through Saturday with a drenching rain Saturday morning. The sky was nice and clear so I expect it to warm up fairly quickly to around 40 degrees.
I guessing that the cat bath in your lap is because it is warmer than J's chair.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 2C/36F with an expected high of 10C/51F and 0% chance of rain. Sounds like it will be a lovely day for a change. We might even get to see that scary yellow thing in the sky!
I've given Lilo her Tuesday shot. Orion is having a bath in my lap, and the others are patiently(?) waiting to be fed in a couple of hours.
I need to be fed myself, but that will be easy enough as I have three servings left of my Moroccan Shepherd's Pie from last night. It should warm up nicely.
I might get out to a grocery today. Maybe.
