Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 42 degrees and the walking was good. The Overnight rain ended early by the time I went out the door, It is forecast to return later.

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 12C/53F with an expected high of 17C/62F and 100% chance (verified) of morning rain. If it looks nicer, later, I may get out to a Farmers Market just off I-85 behind Best Buy. And may browse Best Buy just for fun, if I go that way. And if I go that way I'll be driving somewhere relatively close to you, Val! I'll wave in several directions. LOL. People would think I am nuts. Little do they know...
Need to feed the felines and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. They let me sleep in until almost 6:00 today! Shocking, I know, but maybe they ran themselves out of fuel last night. They sure were racing around like maniacs shortly before bedtime.
Last Nights weather forecast said that 8 Fridays with rain out of the last 10, It does seem that way to me that Friday is rain day. This Friday the rain was towards the end of the day, OTOH that is still rain on Friday
I slept later than what has become my usual wake up time Friday, I wonder if it is catching, That would be an hour later than I expected to sleep.
There is a Sonic nearby, I remember not being that impressed when I tried it. I was expecting something better considering that when it opened the line of cars stretched down the highway and the police had to be there for traffic control.parityanimal wrote: »Ex-workers tell us what never to eat at Sonic.

When I mentioned that Your recipe had Buttermilk and that helped it to rise, his comment was who didn't know that, I raised my hand in the air. He likes baking and has done a lot of it for years.parityanimal wrote: »
Once again I am not a big fan of buttermilk, OTOH it is OK in Pancakes and waffles and biscuits.
That is something I had not thought about, I never knew there was a self rising Cornmeal nor that the Buttermilk helped it rise, I wonder how that works.
Vegetable Shortening = Crisco ?
I am of the suspicion that Being Gluten Free is the new fad and for many people not needed.
That is a good Question, We Butter baking pans with butter that has sat out long enough to get somewhat soft and the pan is room temperature and they work fine that way.
I do not know how You manage not to eat the entire skillet of cornbread fresh cooked and still warm with Butter melting into it ?
Have a Good Day
Roger
Many people who don't care for buttermilk, are quite happy with it when it's used in baked products.
The buttermilk is sour because it has developed some acidity, or perhaps it's developed some acidity because it's sour. They just go together. The self rising cornmeal has baking soda in it, which is a base.
In a simple, chemical reaction, the acidity of the buttermilk reacts to cause extra gas bubbles when reacting with the base that is the baking soda, giving better rise. The egg will react with it to cause some rise anyway, but the buttermilk just gives it an extra kick.
The vegetable shortening I used was butter flavored Crisco.
I never eat the WHOLE pan of cornbread fresh cooked but often eat more of it than I should. I do try to limit myself to absolutely no more than 1/4 of the pan though! Usually.
I did not know that they sold a Butter Flavor Crisco, Interesting. Many years ago I used a Butter Flavored Oil called Wesgold, Talk about flavorful fried potatoes and other fried foods. I have also observed it being brushed on Biscuits to give them a Buttery Flavor.
I'm not sure I would be able to stop at 1/4 of the pan, That sort of thing is a big problem for me.
Hmm... Until I read that You stored the Corn Meal in the freezer I wondered how You used it all before It went stale.parityanimal wrote: »You really have to look for the self rising cornmeal, as the bags look an awful lot like the self rising cornmeal MIX bags, and they sometimes just aren't there at all.
Just look for the bag that says Self Rising Cornmeal and omits the work MIX, and there you go!
I usually get it in a 5 pound bag and keep it in the freezer, inside a ziplock freezer bag when not in use.
The other option is to make your own self rising cornmeal, which I've never actually done, but I've seen several recipes for that online with varying amounts of baking powder added to plain cornmeal, along with a little salt.
I have been known to make cornbread that contains flower and I've even (gasp!) been known to use a pre-packaged mix, that might even have a little sugar in it, especially if I'm making blueberry corn muffins.
Shock, Gasp, Ed using a prepackaged Mix, will the horror ever end ?

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Cloudy, but supposedly no more rain for the day, and sunny....yep sunny weekend! I am sooo ready for that!
Ed, indeed you will be in my backyard! I'll wave back.
Cat is outside, and I know that makes him happy. (and me too). Shower and heading for Kroger at Reynolds Crossing. (Steve Reynolds and Old Norcross). I'll wave from there also! LOL! Maybe we can go to the same loony bin??? I'd be ok with that. Always nice to know someone when you're going someplace new!
After the grocery haul, no doubt I will be tired. I still have no stamina, and still have congestion. This is now going on week 3, and frankly I'm damn tired of it!
Had the last quarter of my avocado for breakfast today no more til Feb. I love avo, and could eat it daily...except none of my clothes would fit, and my scale would no doubt laugh at me.
That is some lingering bug that You caught, What did the Doctor Say if You saw one of course. I know I have be nearly flat on my back before I will go to the doctors.
Is it the high fat content in the Avocados ? I see that they are getting pricey according to the TV News recently.
That is just weird to me that the watch spits the water out. AppleI hope that by next week I feel confident enough that I can breathe to make a stab at going back to the gym. I really want to see what my watch will do with the TM, the row and other machines, etc. I did earn one minute of exercise the other day....I laughed a lot. (only 29 minutes short!). Ted and I discussed it...I earned that minute while I was in the kitchen cooking my dinner...??? like really??? Ted who reads more than I do, said people who wear their watch in the shower also earn exercise time...they think it may be the warmth of the shower, and some movement that triggers the exercise sensors. I haven't worn mine into the shower yet. I know I can, and I know if I've gotten water in it, there is a quick procedure that will expel the water. No, I'm not kidding. I flat out accused Ted of lying to me the day he showed me his brand new watch. So he held his watch under the water fountain...and then with out further ado, the watch spit the water out!! I laughed so hard. Don't ask me how that works...I just know that it does, and that's good enough for me!!
.
Your Cat will definitely be unhappy if his servant forgets to deliver his dinnerNow, gotta go, will come back and finish reading later when I need to rest. Probably around 2:30 or so.
I wish Ed, I'd have known sooner that you were going to be in my neighborhood, I'd have juggled some chores around. But, I HAVE to hit the grocery, as TOM E has no dinner. Opened the last can for his breakfast. I also eat around here, and could use some supplies for myself. And I'm still not sure what the heck I have/had/or am re-visiting. Scratchy throat, sinus drainage...like it started before Christmas. I would not like to share....:)
Later...
I keep forgetting to use things from the cupboard until they get near or past their Best by date, whatever that means. My suspicion is that they slowly lose nutrients.
You had to mention sinus draining, this morning my nose has started running is sympathy, At least I hope that is what the cause is.
Well that's one chore done that should hold You for a few days minimum.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Ok, I got home around 4p...and had frozens to put away, and refrigeration that needed to be in the Refrig...I have't even touched the cans of cat food.
Saw my neighbor, she got sick first, and now her husband and son..a 24 hr virus of some kind. Lu said she is finally feeling better. Boy, my street can hardly qualify for a'Health Credit'! LOL ! Like me they seldom get sick so this has been a weird way to start the New Year!
I didn't know double acting baking powder had been around as long as what I read from my google search. I was in college in the early 60's, and learned about baking powder, baking soda, butter milk, acidity, Double acting baking powder will work with either or both acidic buttermilk, and/or liquid.
I am curious about the self rising corn meal that you buy Ed. The only self rising corn bread mixes that I could find all had wheat flour in them...Bob's Mill does have a corn meal that does not say self rising, and it does not have flour in it either. Lazy Mary that I am, Kroger had big blocks of baked corn bread...I got one. Yes, it has eggs and milk and maybe butter...(more likely a vegetable shortening)...I had a very small piece just now with my frozen Amy's vegan dinner....Chinese veggies, and noodles, a little bit of tofu, a token mushroom, broccoli, carrot, etc and linguine sized noodles. I suspect Udon, but not sure about that...anyway...I was hungry having not eaten since my avocado toast and banana.. Feeling much better now that I have eaten!
I have heard of Double acting baking powder, I just did not know why it was called that.
The Corn Bread falls into the category of don't ask, don't tell food as it is so good. I'd bet big bucks that there is no butter in it vegetable shortening is so much less expensive for them to use.
Silly Watch, 2000 steps as one minute of activity workout, what's up with that.Didn't see much that I needed to 'try' at the grocery today. That's strange. I did walk 2000 steps while poking around in Kroger! And, again I confused the poor watch...I earned a one minute activity workout today!! I'm sorry but that just makes me giggle. Seriously one minute! Ha Ha Ha!!!
MY brother tends to spend at least an hour in the Grocery Store looking at most of the shelves just in case he forgot something on his shopping list, I'm get in and out as fast as possible type.
I tend to wonder also if it is the way the wheat had been bred for different traits or something in the processing. I did not know Yo could throw off the results of the test that way either, I Learn something new every day.You are quite right Roger about the gluten issue. (In my opinion). I am sensitive to gluten but do not have celiac's disease. It's not an allergy thing. I believe it has a lot to do with how we now harvest wheat, and the hybridization process of the wheat itself. Also as the body ages changes do happen. Allergies crop up where none had been before, etc. I grew up eating grains of wheat straight out of the combine..still warm from the summer July sun! It was sooo good, and if you chewed it for a bit, the gluten would form its stretchy self, and it was a lot like chewing gum!! I don't know what harm might come from avoiding wheat or other gluten grains... the real harm comes from someone like my former neighbor...Her Mother had Celiac Disease. So, my neighbor decided that although she wasn't showing as a celiac reaction, she quit eating anything with gluten....and then she's get tested for Celiac. Now, that does screw up test results. So she could honestly have been celiac but presenting with a false negative test result.
Ok, since its nearly dinner time, and I just ate, I need to put away the rest of the groceries, and clear the kitchen sink, and a few other 'chores'. chores in other rooms....
Will see you, yep, Later...
My brother and I were talking about our Sister and that she thinks she has all these allergies that she never had in the past, he blames the Holistic Healers she sees for what he considers bogus allergies, I'm ambivalent, as the body ages things can change.

Howdy all y'all. It's sassy Saturday! 7C/44F with an expected high of 14C/56F and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to get the felines fed and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. And I may, since it's such a nice day, get out to do a little shopping. I went to two of the big Farmers' market Asian groceries yesterday, mostly buying noodles for J. He likes ramen noodles, but not the ones you can get at a regular grocery. I also picked up some tiny apples to see of the sugar gliders will like them. It seems like I have picked up that kind once before, but I don't remember whether they liked them or not.
J is still in Kentucky but will probably come home tonight or tomorrow. I know the felines miss him and sometimes there isn't enough of me to go around for all four of them!

I'm curious what the difference between the Asian Market Ramen and the Grocery Store is, I am referring to unflavored ones naturally.
Hopefully the Apples work.
As I recall McD's filters the fryers daily using a powder that is one top of filter paper. The machine has a pump that feeds a hose that is used to spray any loose food particles down to the drain to be filtered out. So I am thinking that in the houses kitchen the Oil is filtered through Cheesecloth ?

Interesting that he covers it in 10 minutes.
I do like a Bacon Grilled Cheese and a regional food, Pork Roll and cheese in a Hard Roll AKA Kaiser Roll, They are both Good hot or cold. I'm not nearly as big a fan of Ham & Cheese except in a cold sandwich with Mayo.parityanimal wrote: »A couple of cheesy, hammy, bacony ideas.

I agree Ed...the tamale pie could be made with some lovely black beans and corn as filling! When the boys were much younger and living at home I used to make them 'taco pie'. It was my life saver dish. I was going to school 8 hours a day.,,,etc. And they loved taco pie nights. I think this tamale pie would have been another fav. of theirs. I have dinner waiting to be heated for tonite, but....there's always tomorrow, right. I'd found a Chickpea/tofu Curry that I was going to make, but somehow the tamale pie sounds so good..... (check back Monday).
Kitchen needs a bit of TLC and then there's lunch...its sunny-ish our side. sunny, but a weak winter type sun. and a LOT of wind. Even Tom who loves a sunny day, and shot out the door when he saw the sunny yard...was more than ready to come back in after about 15 minutes. He evidently doesn't have a sunny wind protected space to nap in. Glad to let him back in.
Did I tell you about the pig??? Funny! Somewhat mean, but funny.
I'll try to get back later, but for now I have to be the 'kitchen witch' and clean up my space.
Later...
I thought that the Dual Country house was interesting too, The least expensive part would be the purchase price, Rehab could be a real pain in the neck, Imagine having to get anything approved by two countries as a part of the permit process.
Taco Pie, Maybe the reason I don't care for them is that the ones I ate were chain food, Think Taco Bell
Somewhat inclement weather headed our way, Supposedly Monday into Tuesday morning the last forecast I saw said rain, snow or a mix even though the overnight temperature is forecast to be in the mid 30s plus.
With Your cat it would appear that the grass is not better on the other side of the fence so to speak.
I do not recall You telling about a Pig, I could be forgetting on the other hand.
Good Luck With the Kitchen, Hopefully a quick thing.

Need to pay some bills, clean up yesterday's cat bowls, and maybe do a little sweeping up and straightening up. Might even decide to go outside and make some vitamin D.

Hello ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi. Finally some screen time. Ted came out...and it was lawn time. He blew the last of the neighbors oak leaves, and I trimmed my butterfly bush, and cut off the zebra grass. Plant will be so happy...I usually get busy and it doesn't get cut back before the new growth starts. I also napped after Ted left. We had a 'watch' session. Simple little things...like when I was in Kroger the phone started ringing, if I had put the palm of my hand over the watch, it would have silenced the ringing. Not cancel the call, just silence the noisy ringing! How neat is that? I don't really know how the Apple watch expels water, but you can wear it swimming, in the shower, washing dishes, etc. because of its water spitting ability!
2000 steps...the exercise is a separate entry. It is dependent on heart rate rising and temperature also..So, when I get back to the gym my step count will be separate from my around the house, etc. (I think...you realize I haven't been to the gym yet. But I can tell the watch I'm going to use the row machine...and it gives me a countdown, and then it records the length of time I use the machine. Some of our machines are blue tooth enabled, so I'm curious to see how that works...also I have indoor walking (think TM) or outdoor walking, running, etc.
Getting the yard ready early I see. I see that there are lots of neat features in the Apple Watch, excluding the price
We did have a bright shiny thing come out yesterday afternoon, It appeared at the worst possible time since around 2:30 to 4:30 it reflects off of the Porch window into my eyes when I try and watch the Noon news off of the DVR.To change gears...we had a SUNNY weekend. That after 7...Seven weekends to all rain, or part rain. Sure was nice to see that shiny object in the sky! Going to be partly cloudy tomorrow...still beats the heck outta rain!
Ah, the pig....Its orange and has yellow spots..I'll try to take (if I remember) to send a pix later. Its latex, its a dog toy, it OINKS! I'm sorry, I laugh every time I look at it. So I am going to give it to Jack...they have 2 dogs who play with toys...Ted's dog doesn't play..at all. Neither did his first Husky..) I had more fun with that dufuss pig in Kroger....all the way to the checkout, and the checker had one for her dog..and the bagger could hardly stop laughing at the grunting pig. So, I set it on the floor, and made it grunt and freaked out Tom E. He wouldn't go down the hall where it was.. I really didn't think he'd freak...so pig is on the hall table, and only oinks when Tom's outdoors!
Dufuss or Doofus or ??
I wonder if it freaked the cat out because it was a new loud noise ?
I'm not judging all Mexican Food by what I had a Taco Bell, I am also throwing in what I tried in some of the other Mexican Eateries. I had more Authentic Mexican out in the Newport Beach area of California.Tamale pie would be a quick and so easy way of having tamale's without having to soak the husks, make the corn maize, fill, roll, bake, etc. Yeah...much easier to make the pie. Same with the taco pie... and please, Roger, please do not judge Mexican food by what you buy at Taco Bell...is like comparing a McDonalds hamburger with a big thick T-bone steak. Nothing wrong with either, but..... Also, in my opinion some of the best foods I've eaten have come from little hole in the wall places!
I have a cat crying at me. Thinks after eating a tin of food, and a couple tablespoons for canned tuna, and having a small hand full of kitty treats..he thinks I should give him more treats???? Ho ho ho!
Yep...dog toy that oinks LOL for days now!
Later...
Comparing McDs Burgers to a Steak is sort of like a Apples to Oranges. McDs to Burgers from other eateries is another thing, FWIW I do like a Big Mac once in a while. Not to mention the commercials for some of their limited time Burger look pretty good, That means the commercial is working. I had Good BBQ from small roadside locations in the south on vacation too.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 4C/39F with an expected high of 18C/66F and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to feed the felines and clean up yesterday's cat bowls. Probably need to do some laundry since J is back, but he hasn't got that ready to roll just yet.
As it should be a pleasant day, I may get out in it and let the sun shine on me for a minute or two to grow some more of my own home made vitamin D, though I do take a supplement for that.

Question from curiosity ...do your cats try to walk in front of you, between your feet, and other 'health risks' (LOL). I can't imagine that they do, or you'd never be able to walk across a room with 4 of them. I'm guessing Tom E. being a lone cat does this maybe as cue's to what he wants? Like being guided to the cat food cabinet? or the door? I just figure one day the old guy will succeed in tripping me, and some part of me will get broken. Not a fun thought. But I have learned to walk cautiously and not go just tearing thru the house at full throttle.
I believe that ALL cats do this. It's almost like instinctive or something. They somehow know exactly where to dash (and when) to be the most in the way. If I'm going down the hallway, they suddenly decide not only to race me but to do so by running between my legs, perhaps to ensure that they win the race. If I try to put a foot down where they won't be, suddenly that's where they dash to and I nearly fall trying to NOT step on them.
Sometimes I have to quietly push Dinah (or another, but usually Dinah) to one side with my foot to finish making their breakfast as she wants to sit right under there in case I drop anything that she can eat.
We shuffle a lot instead of necessarily picking up our feet...

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 32 degrees and the walking was OK considering. I say considering since there was a light freezing rain falling that left a pebbly effect on all the exposed surfaces that were above street level. Luckily the streets and sidewalks were not icy.
Looking out from the porch I could see one Deer standing in the street, When I stepped out it ran around the corner and joined 2 more.
