    Hey Ed, I appreciate that. After Ted leaves I will be without wheels. So I may get stir crazy and a phone chat would be great. Or, if I do have wheels either rental or a new ride it could be a coffee chat!
    OK?

    Sounds like a plan!

    Tonight Edweirdo didn't interject anything too weird into dinner plans. Just some ideas for the marinade and salad dressing. The marinade for the steak was oil, apple cider vinegar, Italian seasoning, hot paprika, salt and pepper. The salad dressing, home made creamy Italian, and the light sprinkle of cheese on the salad was shredded Italian blend, in keeping with the Italian theme.

    Half the steak is left for another meal and I had more than enough to eat.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sensational Saturday!

    Need to get yesterday's food bowls cleaned up and maybe get out to the store for a couple of things.

    And as always I would like a nap.
    Hello Ed
    Nap, Yup, sounds good to me for This afternoon :smiley:

    Pass on the Pepper ones, The other looked good however. I never liked peppers, Why, I do not know. OTOH I will eat the filling out of Stuffed peppers before throwing the peppers away, I also pick them out of the NS Dinner entrees that have them.

    Right up my alley, Thanks
    So, that's my present life in a nutshell....

    (The guy who ran his red light asked several times if I was o'k, and then walked away from the crash...fortunately there was a bystander who'd also been waiting for the light to change, and he flagged down a passing cop...gave him a description of the guy, cop drove back down the street, saw him, and put him in the patrol care. Cited him for leaving the scene, then gave him a breath-o-lizer, and he was above the legal limit...hauled him off to jail for drunk driving... All of this happened while I was trying to decide to get out of my car...I didn't know about all of this happening. So, Friday morning spent the entire morning with the police department, my insurance agent, etc. )

    Later...

    Wow! Glad to know you are mostly OK! You know if you need anything you can give me a holler. I can't do anything about the arthritis but share horror stories though.

    I did get out to the store yesterday and today. Yesterday I bought the $5.99 lunch at Kroger which also covered today's lunch as they give loads of lunch for the price.

    Dinner last night finished off the spaghetti and meatballs.

    I have a big piece of sirloin marinating for dinner tonight that will likely also be tomorrow's lunch. I wish I had thought to buy a sweet potato at Aldi this morning but I didn't and I am not getting back out today. I can just have a small baked potato, salad and maybe some green peas with the steak.

    I am steadily working on mastery of the Dvorak keyboard layout, but switching back and forth (on different machines) probably isn't helping with that.

    Well I need to separate and freeze some chicken and meat from yesterday's Kroger run, so off to it.
    Huh, that is a worst case scenario IMO being T-Boned. Most cars including mine do not have side impact protective devices.

    Hot Food Section or refrigerated section for the lunch ? I know some stores also have a lunch counter, The HyVee in Iowa where I have eaten has cooked to order breakfasts comes to mind, Not having ever been in a Kroger's ?
    Sweet Potato or a Baked Potato, I'm not sure if either one is better or worse for You to eat. In my case I think I prefer baked potato compared to baked Sweet Potato, either ones needs butter melting into it.

    I think You are correct, I have enough trouble when I switch keyboards in Windows and that is only due to the no alphanumeric keys.
    Hey Ed, I appreciate that. After Ted leaves I will be without wheels. So I may get stir crazy and a phone chat would be great. Or, if I do have wheels either rental or a new ride it could be a coffee chat!

    Interesting, Looking at the pan You cooked the steak in reminded me I should pull out the George Forman Grilling machine and do a steak or Burgers in it ahead of time so they van be heated up after being portioned out. My Brother tells me it works well for that.

    I think I might have converted the Baked Potato into a loaded Baked Potato or either Bacon chunks or Shredded Cheese on it.

    Croutons :wink:

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Guys!
    I know I haven't been here for days....I am doing pretty well...on my way home from O's gymnastics on Thursday evening I was T-boned by a pick up truck. Nice ride to the ER in my very own 'limo' Long hours that night in the ER, etc. Both my boys came and waited with me, and made the night go a bit better...Ted then brought me home, then went to Midtown to get his dog, and all the stuff they'd both need to spend a few days with Mom...
    Nothing broken, no head bump, CT scan of my neck only showed a bit of arthritis!! (like that was a surprise?? LOL)
    Deep soft tissue (bruising)on both legs, which hurt when I try to walk..Xrays showed no broken bones. Doing a bit better every day, but still need my cane to get around.
    Ted and I are going to StateWide Towing where my poor totaled Honda Fit is to get all my junk out of it. You know, like my keys, garage door opener, CD's etc.

    So, that's my present life in a nutshell....

    (The guy who ran his red light asked several times if I was o'k, and then walked away from the crash...fortunately there was a bystander who'd also been waiting for the light to change, and he flagged down a passing cop...gave him a description of the guy, cop drove back down the street, saw him, and put him in the patrol care.

    Hi Valerie
    That stinks, I know You liked that car too. Family is important and it is good that they were close enough that they could show up right away. Our family scattered all over and if they had to come it would take time to fly in from Washington State for example. The Good News is that nothing was Broken. CT Scans show arthritis ? Learn something new every day. What happened to You is why my one brothers wife wanted a full size car or Pickup truck to drive. The Fit is a small car ? Say thanks to the bystander for not being afraid to get involved. To often in New Your City, NYC, they seem more interested in pulling out the Phone and taking video than getting involved or calling the police, So Sad :(

    There is a big problem in NYC with hit and runs, some of them also stop and ask are You ok, or just take a Look and take off, When caught they are also usually over the limit for DUI.
    Hey Ed, I appreciate that. After Ted leaves I will be without wheels. So I may get stir crazy and a phone chat would be great. Or, if I do have wheels either rental or a new ride it could be a coffee chat!
    OK?
    Since You were in touch with the Insurance are they offering to pay for a rental ? Or Maybe a Uber or Lyft until a replacement is acquired ? I'm guessing that when You say totaled that is from the Insurance Company or maybe the Towing company ?

    How old was the Fit, I'm hoping that the insurance makes You whole again and That the Perpetrator had good insurance which the company that ends up paying.

    Have a Better Day Today

    There is a big problem in NYC with hit and runs, some of them also stop and ask are You ok, or just take a Look and take off, When caught they are also usually over the limit for DUI.

    Yes, grateful for the bystander. When I saw the car it was not as bad in daylight as when it happened. Hit mostly in the front wheel well, and the driverside door, which if they intend to fix it, the doors have to be ordered from Japan..its a 2013, the last model to be mfg in Japan...
    And no, it was I who had looked at the car and pronounced it dead. I have insurance that will cover up to $500 in car rentals. So, If I get a small econ. model I should be ok. Right now would be afraid to drive because the leg that brakes and feeds is the one that hurts.... Ted's willing to hang for a while longer... Ted's big white Husky is here, and Tom E. I was not sure how that would work out...but so far, so good. Both animals keep track of the other, but no misbehaving....so far...fingers crossed.

    Later...
    Hi Valerie
    Worst case T-Bone getting hit on the drivers side :(

    The front wheel well could be bad if the Sub-frame is bent or the suspension and steering needs to be replaced too. I suspect You could be right as 2013 means it is a 6 year old car. And I am sure You kept everything working properly as well as immaculate. Do they have Enterprise car rentals down where You are ?

    I hope Your right leg feels better quickly, Interesting that is the leg that bothers You.

    So far so good with the animals, Yea.
    And it's now 3:30AM and I'm wide awake. Later today hoping to get in to see my chiropractor. And to then see my Doc. Dinner out tonite. Ted found a restaurant that is local, and menu sounds interesting. Update on that will follow:). Our Tuesday predicted snow has been downgraded to rain. Fine with me!
    Later...
    I saw the time stamp and said to myself, some one is up late or really early :smiley:

    And Our weather that is supposed top hit here Tuesday is forecast to start as rain and change to a mix and Snow.

    Enjoy the Dinner, It is always fun to try a new eatery, I'm guessing that one big qualification was that it serves Vegan. BTW Does Vegan cooking out also mean that they have to have separate kitchens if they also serve meat ?

    Have a Good Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday!

    Lilo let me sleep in this morning until 6:45! I appreciated it since I was up late picking J up at the train station.

    I have already been out to Aldi and Walgreen's. I need to get yesterday's food bowls cleaned up and get something together for lunch.

    Watch out at Walgreen's for wrong pricing.

    I realize, of course, that this signage was printed with the wrong number, since I am sure it is supposed to be less expensive per item if the customer buys two.

    All the same, since this is what they had up, I insisted on a correction when the single item I was buying rang up at $3.99. They fixed it.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 27 degrees. The weather forecast as of this morning is that rain will start this afternoon turning to Snow with the arctic Blast moving in overnight. The overnight Lows for Wednesday & Thursday are forecast to be in the single digits with bitter wind chills down to -20 in some parts of NJ

    Hi Ed
    I would not be surprised if You are correct, OTOH the ShopRite Grocery Store some items on sale are marked with a higher cost if bought singly and others buying one gets the same price per unit as if the sale quantity were bought.

It's terrific Tuesday! 8C/47F with an expected early high of 9C/48F and then cooling temperatures down into the freezing by mid evening, with 90% chance of precipitation for the day, but predicted for the morning hours so I don't anticipate any major weather related issues from it.

    Need to me fed, and get the felines fed and try to get a nap in. Might get out this morning if it's not TOO cold and rainy...

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 21 degrees with a wind chill in a nearby city of 8. The rain Yesterday started and stopped on schedule and never turned o snow here, Other areas of NJ had 5 inches of snow. When I looked outside this morning it looked OK, so I went walking, We were lucky where I am.

    Mini Review. I liked the new NS Four Cheese Manicotti , 250 Calories 35g Carbohydrates. It was tasty, however it tasted a lot like the old Whole Wheat Ricotta Crepes. I will be ordering more of these in the future.

    Hello Ed
    Where I am we did dodge a bullet with the rain ending before it turned to snow. I will not be walking tomorrow considering that the wind chill today of 8 degrees was bad enough and that tomorrow will much colder. There is a chance of a brief snow this afternoon.
    The real reason Sbarro is disappearing? Well, without watching yet, I would think it's because they sell overpriced, mediocre pizza?
    I can not comment as to their food is something I never tried. The Video will be interesting to watch. I will say that the slice shown in the preview looks OK.
    Supposedly false facts people allegedly believe about McDonald's. You see I got two grains of salt into that description. :)
    That would not surprise me that there are people that believe false facts. Likely due to their success selling many things and their size. I could also be wrong :smiley:
