    Hi
    I'm home and did not go walking and therefor no money was found. The Temperature outside is a bone chilling 7 degrees with a wind chill overnight -10s to -20s. Not going out in that and I will have to look at the weather forecasts for tomorrow this evening as what I saw a few minutes age showed a overnight of 10 degrees. The Key will be wind, no wind for Tuesday. The one good thing is that it is a Holiday and around where I am the roads are dry, further North the road conditions are variable.

    Howdy all y'all. It's superlative Sunday! 1C/33F with an expected high of 3C/37F and 0% chance of precipitation. Sounds like it might be a somewhat pleasant, if cold, day.

    Need to feed the felines and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. And I want a nap today.Nothing else hot on the agenda.
    Sunday it was quite a bit warmer here, then the rain moved out for long enough to let things dry up and then in the afternoon the Arctic Blast of cold air moved in.

    I could be wrong, however 50 Year Old Peanut Butter, Jam & Crackers will likely not kill You, The Peanut butter may have turned rancid and the Jam to crystallized jam OTOH The Cracker depending on the recipe is likely good for more years. And off topic, Fruit Cake seems to last forever when properly made.
    HIGH PROTEIN CARIBBEAN FEAST! VEGAN
    Not Being a fan of Caribbean food, at least the ones I have tried...
    More keto diet meals.
    I doubt the claim that this is "The Only Keto Diet Video You Need To Watch". Having said that the left hand food looks tasty.
    More vegan meal prep.
    I suspect that Valerie will get more out of this than I will :wink:

    Looks interesting, I either do not remember the taste from when I was young or my impression from the last time I tried a that the filling had a chemical aftertaste means they tinkered with it.

    I turned Pumpkin around 10PM and it was supposed to start at 10:45PM and I could not stay awake, darn it, I wanted to see it too. Thanks for the Photo.

    Currently between typing here I am drinking the Coffee I brewed, I also have enough left over to Microwave for tomorrow whether or not I decide to go walking. I pulled the Thermal Bottoms out of the dresser drawer in case I do go walking, Carhart brand if anyone is curious.

    Thank You for the Videos and Have a Good Day

    Good Day! Noon happened a bit ago!
    I've done laundry, bedding, and it's almost ready to come out of the dryer. (interrupted by Tom, who wanted out. Stood in the door, sniffing, then turned tail and left the door to me! The cold wind was blowing into the house. Can't blame him!!
    I"ve done part of my exercise for the day. Will do more later. I'd entertained the idea of going to the gym...Ha! Not unless this wind dies down. I've cooked rice, cleaned up after the cat, and other chores. Lots still to do, so I guess I can safely say I will l not be bored this after!

    Tomorrow, O and I are going shopping together. !!!. She texted me Fri evening asking if I wanted to do that. Of course I did. I'm hoping its 'inside' the Mall of GA, and not a satellite store that she needs a ride to!! :)


    I'm learning that the watch is not up to instantly recording some of the simpler things. Like I spent several minutes unloading the dishwasher, and rinsing the rice, etc....all standing, but limited 'moving'. I checked. No credit for 'standing'...until just a bit ago, and bingo my standing count went from 4 events to 5. (I all but yelled at it for not giving me credit...suppose that helped??? LOL!!)

    I can't wait to see several of these video's and ditto on the articles. I will have plenty to keep me busy while I get the rest of my exercise goal!

    Not looking forward to the weather we've been promised for the week, ending next weekend with ?snow?. Not time to panic, its a week off, so chances are not too great that the kids will be making snow men or women!

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    I do not Blame Tom E for that, I am not even inclined to open the door and see how it feels outside. I do feel sorry for those that have to be outside in this weather, That would be Firemen, Police, and even the delivery people that deliver from Chinese and Italian. I also suspect that later on the News Broadcasts will be talking about how many no start calls AAA have done today. The Poor Firemen must be covered in Ice from fighting fires.

    It is not the amount of walking I usually do, however The only walking today is likely to be from here to other rooms in the house :( Tomorrow is another day :wink:

    I believe that the watch recorded the standing, and that to save battery life it only syncs periodically and only then if there is something to sync. Transmitting is what uses more power from the battery. I have two remote sensors on the front porch, one goes to three receivers on the main floor and the other connects to the Clock Radio. The Clock Radio one is so I can see what the outside temps are at night in a dark room. That one seems to update every few minutes, Likely to enhance battery life. BTW I might have yielded to temptation and yelled at it just to feel better, It isn't as if anyone would be close enough to hear the yelling. The watch may even prioritize and upload heavy activity instantly ?

    There is a warming trend for the upcoming week with rain and possibly snow for several days of the week :(

    BTW I put most of today's coffee into a Thermos since the bedroom is running cooler that usual, 69.5 degrees and that is where the gauge is at head height, I suspect that where I am sitting is cooler since heat rises.

    Enjoy the Shopping Trip with O

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous arctic Monday!

    -6C/22F (feels like 15 - I'll just take their word for that, thanks) with an expected high of 6C/42F and no chance of precipitation. It's *KITTEN* cold out there!

    I was feeling cold when I got up, but once I got moving I was OK.

    For breakfast I made a real cold weather treat for me, that I haven't had in quite a long time. Fluffy biscuits and sausage gravy!

    I dumped an unmeasured amount of self rising flour into a medium bowl, added a good blob of butter flavored shortening, blended into the flour with a fork, a splash of white vinegar, and some whole milk, in lieu of buttermilk, to make a couple of large drop biscuits.

    While these were baking in the toaster oven, I made gravy.

    I made a roux with some oil and flour, browned the roux slightly, added salt, pepper, and milk, and cooked, stirring often, until thick, and added a lot of turkey sausage crumbles and cooked a little longer just to heat up the sausage.

    I feel nicely full and totally satisfied. :)

    Definitely want to get a nap in today, as the cats weren't having the "let me sleep in" thing this morning.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 13 degrees. Monday when the Temperatures dropped, with overnight temperatures and wind causing a wind chill in the -10s to -20s I did not go walking. This morning it was a bit warmer and less windy so I did go out walking after heating up the 1/2 pot of coffee left over from yesterday.

    Hi Ed
    That must be cold for Your area, for here the 42F is above our average temperatures for this time of year. Today is supposed to warm up into the 30s with warmer weather for Wednesday and even warmer for Thursday & rain before going down for Friday onward.

    Sausage & Gravy Biscuits, Yum, Yum.
    I have in the past used the Jimmy Dean Sausage Crumbles to add to the toppings on the NS Pizzas and they worked OK.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 27 degrees. There is a slight breeze outdoors, I have a 1/2 of my cup of coffee left for tomorrow, that means 16 ounces left for tomorrow. The weather forecast is for Rain moving in for the evening into Thursday. Thursday's High temperature is forecast to be 59 degrees before the weather turns colder.

    Good morning!
    My page split at the photo of something wrapped around a hard boiled egg. Going to quit there, and come back later.
    Had a fun, really fun afternoon with O yesterday. The selfie should I figure out yet again how to post it here was just after we had snacks at Chic Fa Lay...(or however they spell it)...I splurged and had not only a diet Coke, but also an order of the waffle fries. Tasty treat! O ate her usual chicken nuggets :)
    Lots to do today, cuz tomorrow I will be in Atl all day and Jack's calling at 4 cuz he's working from home today. So, gotta get done, what's gonna get done today.
    After shopping with O when I got home, I changed clothes and actually went back out to the gym!
    I don't know if its battery saving or just what Roger, but it did the same again this morning. I was awake middle of the night, and it didn't give me credit for my up and moving around time until this morning. So my 'stand' time went from 2/12 to 4/12. Whatever!!!
    Hi Valerie
    I like Chicken Nuggets as long as they are crispy, I usually Salt them to taste as there are enough carbs in the breading without adding a sweet sauce :smiley:
    Waffle Fries, That would be slices of Potato that are cut to look like waffles.

    Apple Tech Support for the Watch ?
    I so wish I'd had my phone in my pocket this morning...I am defrosting the little refrigerator that's in the bar...it always causes a mess, so I decided to be proactive and put 2 old bath towels on the floor...and I guess Tom E wanted me to 'see' that something was amiss, cuz he sat on those towels in front of the open refrig. door!! Looked so funny. He seems to notice things that are 'amiss', and he either meow's me to death, or like today sits where the problem is (in his mind) until I do something! I really regret not having the pix, cuz I'd have posted it for Ed so he could see how helpful my cat is...LOL!!! What would we do without our furry friends?

    Yesterday outside turned out to be really nice. Sunny, not windy, etc. Today, not so much. Overcast. There was some early morning sun, but it's gone. :(

    Ok, laundry is ready to move to dryer, and gym is next on the list... so is lunch...Also need to put gas in the car, etc. geeez...how did I manage to work all those years????

    Later (to read and watch vid's)
    A Busy day from Your list of to do items. I found that interesting that Your Cat detected that it is a problem from the open door on the Little refrigerator. I could see the moon through thin clouds while I was walking.
    Forgot...eating lunch and I thought about it...soooooo

    I was a bit distracted upon my return from walking and am therefore later than usual posting here.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Been up since about 5:30 this morning but distracted by various and sundry. I did get out round noonish to get some cat food and lunch. A mediocre felafel platter from PITA. Won't be getting food from there again. It is just a few doors down from the pet store where I buy my canned cat food, and this was their third chance on having food that wasn't either too salty or just mediocre.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and get a nap in.
