Tonight, braised sirloin tip, in a rich brown gravy made with onions, mushrooms, a generous amount of Sangiovese (red wine), and a squeeze of tomato paste. I served it over creamy, buttery mashed potatoes.
While it simmered, I was drinking some of the wine and had some with the meal as well. I don't anticipate having any wine left in the bottle by the end of the evening as the last of it is in the glass now.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 29 degrees. I decided to walk and the footing was OK, I could hear the surface I was walking on making crunchy noises OTOH. I was careful to keep checking traction periodically as I walked.

5C/41F with an expected high of 5C/42F and 20% chance of precipitation.
I need to clean up yesterday's food bowls and feed the felines. Yesterday was national pizza day so we had pizza for dinner. And I had pizza for breakfast.
Laundry may be on the agenda today.
100% chance of precipitation for Tuesday and I'm going with 100% for today looking out the window
By the time I saw that it was National Pizza day on the TV news it was to late to pull out a NS pizza as I had already eaten my days worth of food
I may have one today for dinner as Pizza sounds good to me.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning!
Gray, colder than we've had for awhile....nobody wants to go out...not me, not cat, not dog....
Ted's in the garage hanging peg board for me. It's not warm out there either. I offered to bring the space heater but he said he was doing ok...?
Will watch video's and there are a couple of the articles I'd like to read.
Got tickled this morning watching Emmy and the Tofu donuts. I'll bet they are good. I doubt I'll make them, but its a great idea...nice protein boost in the morning.
It isn't the best looking day outside here, OTOH where I am the snow has ended and I told my brother that if he does go to the Barber to give me a heads up as I could use one. mine is getting a bit long.
I'm not sure how Tofu Donuts would taste to me and if they would be worth the effort to acquire all the ingredients etc.
Diet, Yesterday was not great for me, My brother picked up some of the hot foods at the Grocery Store. One meatball, I do not know how they managed it but the darn thing was tough. One over a inch thick slice off of a big meatloaf, How they could call what was entirely Ground Beef meatloaf in a gravy with onions is beyond me, And a Thin Cut Pork Chop in a gravy with button mushrooms. Ha no wonder the scale was up 0.5 pounds this morning, I just looked at the receipt and that weighed 1.23 pounds and guess who ate it all yesterdayMy diet is shot.
Last night Ted and I had our personal choice of poisons from Whole Foods...and night before that he picked up Indian food from Poona's...and, and, and don't forget the 3 days worth of breads we bought at the Mexican Bakery...well the up shot of all that is I lost a pound and a half..??? What? Wait...how can that be??? Don't know. LOL!!!
It still hasn't rained, and doesn't appear as it will today..just sprinkles. Some Day I'm sure my rain gauge will show rain.... I know it works, as Ted finally went out and poured half a cup of water in it!!
I haven't watched the video about the gal who says she quit sugar for a week... I quit sugar for the month of January. Lasted less than one day!! Can you say addiction?
Ok, lots to do. First I need to get up and just 'move' says the watch. I know many would consider this hourly reminder a pain in the butt, however I rather like being reminded to get away from the computer screen periodically.
Later... Yup You guessed it.
As I said in the replies to Ed, Sugar is addictive IMO as are many if not most carbohydrates.
The scale moves in strange and wondrous ways
I would find those get up prompts annoying even if they were for my good.
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 3C/38F with an expected high of 12C/55F and 40% chance of mostly p.m. showers.
I need to do all the usual stuff and might need to get out to buy a few things.

Ah, yes, the ever tricky meatball. Coincidentally, one of today's videos will explain how they managed a tough meatball as it is actually easy to accidentally do. Pay attention to the chatter as they make the turkey meatballs!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 33 degrees. I decided to walk and so far the snow in the forecast has not made its appearance. According to this mornings weather forecast Only Central and North NJ will see snow that turns to sleet and rain with the south NJ areas seeing rain. It looked as if we are in the 1 to 3 inch of snow before the changeover.

Hello ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi!
Morning went by in a flash of phone calls, etc. etc. Cleaned bathrooms, meant to mop the front hall, but, that's when the phone went nuts... I'm really over Doctors...all of them, (well except Dr. Pat my Chiro)
Oh, well. Think that's all under control now. And I know they all think they are doing this for my best....
Missed my nap time this afternoon, ? maybe? LOL!
No news here, just a dreary day...which will be better than Tues and Wednesday...showers and drizzle and rain. Dr. appointments both days too. lovely.
Sugar and yes to a degree fat are both addictive. Sugar sets off the same part of the brain as Heroine. Don't think fat does that? I do think that kicking sugar is every bit as hard, maybe more, that quitting cigarettes. And THAT was a chore!
Thinking I'll come back to the articles and video's...somebody please tell Emmy her mouth is not big enough to eat whatever that is she's holding up!!! Will be curious as to what that is...
Later...
I am seeing on the home page that I go here from that there are 14 new posts since yesterday when I posted. Since I only see one from You that means that Ed has been busy
I'm guessing that all those phone calls were doctors calling since yesterday started the week ?
Dreary Days are marginally OK if You can sit inside looking out. Having to be out and about in rain, Pass.
I'm not totally sure regarding fat on the other hand in the past I used a lot of Sugar and Half and half or whole cream on my cereal not to mention slathering on the butter on bread or lots into Mashed Potatoes and Baked Potatoes. Butter being my preference vs Sour Cream that I never developed a taste for.
Quitting Cigarettes was one thing I never dealt with, Dad and my Brother both smoked until one day they quit cold turkey.
Have a Good Day

Back down this morning to what I weighed Sunday Morning, Likely due to most of that food being proteins except for whatever gravy soaked into the meats.

They are folded and put away, though that almost didn't happen today. While my frozen chili was warming up slowly, I did finally get that done. They were washed Sunday!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 35 degrees. I decided to walk after checking traction underfoot. Due to the slush I did wear the insulated waterproof boots that have a decent grip on the surface due to a deep tread pattern.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hello from the sunny south....er, wrong day for that!! Rain, fog, etc all wet stuff. Rain gauge says 0.65 inches today. I know for a relative short time span, we got a pretty good downpour!
Fortunately my Chiro appt. was early enough that I was home and eating lunch before it started. Dr. Pat is pleased with my progress. I took her the written report of my CT scan. and the second x-ray showing healing happening! The CT shows arthritis in C4 & C5. I asked her if that isn't what my initial injury was 30 +
years ago. Yep it was. That is how I met Dr. Pat! Bent over at work one night to write on the top of a box, and couldn't stand back up. Several of us at the Red Cross went to her...(the initial injury was attempting to carry some wet big bags of garden soil up to my 2nd floor apartment one afternoon.) But she said that the arthritis was very slow forming...Yea fruits and veggies!
I'll go with the Sunny South, it sounds nicer Rain
IMO sometimes it is worth paying more per pound to buy lighter bags of things that need to be shifted from here to there, Especially worth it as I get older and hopefully wiser.
Slow forming arthritis does not sound so bad. Yesterday had a raw uncomfortable feel to it even indoors at 73 it felt cold to my brother & I.
Good Luck at the ortho. Little House ? I watch some of the house flipping shows and what they think of as a little house have 1200 square feet or more. This house is 900 square feet on the ground floor due to a addition back in the 50s and others in the neighborhood are around 600 square feet. This is not counting the attic or basement for them.Tomorrow I meet the Ortho Doc. Not looking forward to that. If all goes well tomorrow, (meaning no cast on leg) then Ted will be going back home to live in ATL. I know he's ready to go home. And I'll enjoy my little house again..BUT I most certainly will miss him being around too.
Ed...are those clothes folded and put away? Funny that we all 3 seem to have 'laundry issues'. So far I'm caught up...folding and putting away has been most of my activity these past 3 weeks. And letting the cat in and out.
Roger, hope your weather holds as predicted and you miss a big snow storm. I'm tired of snow, and we haven't had even the first flake!! LOL!!
Later...
The weather was not as predicted, The snow never really accumulated around here, it waffled back and forth between snow, sleet and rain and ended up around a inch deep for a lot of the state. The overnight temperatures kept if from being too bad outside if somewhat slushy. On my return home I cleaned the balance of the snow off of the car, it had already slid off of the Trunk and hood and the sides.
Have a Good Day
