Tonight's dinner was navy beans, that I soaked overnight last night, cooked with smoked pork neck bones. When they were done I shredded what meat I could get off the neck bones, stirred that back in with the beans, and served over home made Southern buttermilk cornbread.

Hi!
Just finished my dinner...big salad, a sandwich with the Teriyaki baked Tofu, veg. mayo, onion, tomato and leaf lettuce...it was so tasty! Also had the last ear of corn from the refrigerator.
Went to the gym this afternoon, which I rarely do on weekends...but they are closing the gym for a few days to replace all the rubber mat flooring. They hope to open again Wed. if all goes well, otherwise it will open Friday. Its ok, there is a Planet Fitness about a block from Whole Foods! So I can go there if I want to.
I heard all the thunder, rattling, and crashing last evening...and today my neighbor said it did rain during the night...that I slept thru. (can't sleep in hearing aids, so I sleep well storms or not!) The earlier noisy one hardly dampened the driveway!.
Back is sore...I think it may have been some extra walking I did ?
I did laundry today too Roger. Only one load, but its dried, and hung on hangers.
I made notes from several of those recipe's from today. Will try the tempeh later this week, as I have a block that needs to be used by July 1. And I'm more than curious to watch Aunt Fee get spicy in her kitchen! LOL! I have some ramen noodles so I may try that, except mine don't have a flavor package...so I"ll have think about how to give it some flavor...garlic? or green peppers, onion???
Tom E is being weird. He doesn't want to go back out after eating his dinner, and his snack. I tried letting him out the front door, and he went across the porch, and another 3 ft on the sidewalk, turned around and came right back inside. Usually he fusses at me in a low-ish t one, and tonite this is a much higher, whine-ish voice. Almost like he's afraid to be out doors.
Wonder whats up with that???
Ok, I'm shortly heading to bed...and Tom E IS GOING OUT!
Later...0 -

Hi
I'm back from walking and found 8 cents (8 pennies) within a one block area as I was nearing home. The Temperature out the door was 57 degrees.

It's just a "welcome to summer" sort of festival, but they do seem to always include a car show. I saw a number of tent/booths set up along what part of the road I could see, as I turned my van around, but honestly I have never gone to the Peachtree Corners Festival as it's always in the summer heat! I know it's not technically summer yet, but it feels like it down here.What kind of Festival is it ?
Thank You for elucidation what festival it is.
As an addendum I mentioned the Banana Cornbread Pancakes to my brother and he did not think they would be good either.
Despite the heat I would like to get to a State Fair or County Fair. The ones they hold in NJ are not near me
Looks good to me, When my brother makes them they are cooked with left over Ham bones and meat. Likewise when making Pea Soup.parityanimal wrote: »Tonight's dinner was navy beans, that I soaked overnight last night, cooked with smoked pork neck bones.

I did laundry today too Roger. Only one load, but its dried, and hung on hangers.
We had rain Sunday afternoon into the evening, It was still raining lightly when I retired for the day. This morning it was not raining, however as wet as everything was and considering the Drops falling from the trees it had recently ended. I did manage to stay dry OTOH so it was all good. No thunder that I heard FWIW.
I finally got the laundry started this morning, A good thing as I am down to one last change of t-shirts and underpants
I have Ramen Noodles too, still sitting on the table, The package shows 2 servings per package and 190 calories per serving and 27 carbohydrates per serving. I may end up binning them due to the high caloric and carbohydrate per package, I keep waffling on that. I am also thinking of trying the seasoning package as a Bullion type broth. That is not real bad except I know me and that I would be eating the entire packageI made notes from several of those recipe's from today. Will try the tempeh later this week, as I have a block that needs to be used by July 1. And I'm more than curious to watch Aunt Fee get spicy in her kitchen! LOL!

Later...
I have a 1/4 of a small Watermelon for fruit today
Looking it up lots of nutrients fairly low calorie and Carbohydrate per 1 cup serving too.
Maybe there was something in the air he did not like the smell of ?
Speaking of air at least the rain helped clear whatever has been making my nose run while walking...
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 84 with an expected high of 86 and 30% chance of precipitation.
I've been up since shortly before 7:00 but distracted by this and that.
Breakfast (and lunch) were made up from leftovers of last night's dinner. About two meals of that left, I think.
Nothing major on the agenda for the afternoon. Maybe a nap.

Well, if one is going to eat ramen noodles, one probably SHOULD make DIY sauce rather than using the little packets that come with it.

Monday we had a high around 72 degrees and 100% chance of rain as the rain had ended slightly before I left for my walk. Today is cooler overnight and forecast to be dry with a 60% chance of rain on Wednesday.
I like leftovers, especially leftovers from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day feasts. Other than that Leftover meat such as Pastrami or Corned Beef.

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 70 with an expected high of 82 and 30% chance of precipitation.
Lilo has had her shot (and the usual post-shot treats). Kiara is running around like a hooligan, knocking things over. Dinah was chasing around with Kiara but finally ran up to sit on J's desk to rest, while Kiara continues the hooliganism.
Kiara wants breakfast. She'll get it in a few minutes.
Need to pick up a prescription, buy paper towels, and buy some chicken thighs for the sugar gliders. If I don't get them today, they won't run out but the prescription was ready yesterday, so I might as well get the other things while I'm out anyway. Probably laundry to do today. Dishwasher ran overnight and I put the clean dishes away this morning. Need to clean the cat bowls from yesterday.

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 71 with an expected high of 87 and 50% chance of rain. I did get out yesterday to buy the paper towels, chicken thighs for the sugar gliders (got some for me too) and pick up my prescription at Walgreen's.
Coincidentally, I had chicken for dinner, but not any of the newly purchased thighs. I roasted a large, split chicken breast half. While it was roasting I made some rice with minced bell pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, turmeric (for color mostly) and minced jalapeño (for spicy heat), made some cheese sauce, and, when the chicken and rice were both ready, shredded the meat, mixed everything together in a big bowl, and called it dinner. OK. I really called it Spicy, Cheesy, Fiesta Chicken and Rice, but that's quite a mouthful, so let's just call it dinner.
The leftovers will be called Lunch and probably Dinner again. The ratio of chicken and cheese to rice made this not nearly as carbohydrate laden as one might think, and it was certainly delicious. Still probably had a few more carbs than I really needed though.
Today I really am doing some laundry. Really! I promise. In fact, I'll get started on that as soon as I feed the cats. I also need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned so they'll be ready for tomorrow's cat feeding.

Hi!!
The kids and the snacks were fun today! And the 'corn dogs' growing in their own habitat.....Well, Cat Tails, can be good...all parts are edible...but those corn dogs need to be good and dry, and then beaten into flour...not so good with mustard! LOL!!
I dunno know about the longer term car loans. I remember when car loans were 3 years...and every body was so against longer loans...you know the 5 year loans that are pretty much standard now???? Time will tell. If the cars out live the loan I'm guessing for many, that would be a good deal.
I've never used a whirly pop corn popper, and at home we used a skillet. My Dad loved his popped corn...with salt and butter...and we popped corn nearly every evening.
I got drowned yesterday (Tuesday)...coming home from Kroger. It started just as I left the building, and I was parked far, far away, and the storm quickly turned electrical...so there I was getting a bit damp, and hoping to get to my car without getting fried! I quickly noticed that I was taller than a lot of the cars....yikes!!! As you can see I made it to my car...and then all h3ll broke lose, as it quickly became a 'toad strangler' as my MIL used to say....there were times I could not see the road stripping...fortunately there was oddly very little traffic.
Atlanta is very proud of all their trees....I don't know if its county by county or what, but you are supposed to get an arborist to declare the tree(s) a danger...and I believe there is a 5 tree limit. I know Marietta was fussing because someone in her neighborhood cut a bunch of trees to clear an area behind their house. She could see it from her back deck...
My gym is closed this week, so they can replace the rubber flooring. I went to Duluth one day, and Lawrenceville-Suwanee the next. Checked the progress this afternoon...I really don't think they will have this done Friday...we'll see!!! So while I was there I enjoyed 10 minutes on one of the hydro-beds. That was wonderful!!! Started to walk down the street and that bratty little chihuahua thats about 2/3rds down the street came charging after me. Barking like a maniac!!! So it was a shorter walk than I'd anticipated. Did not meet my Fitbit walking goal, but that's ok. I go to Atlanta tomorrow for my hair trim, and may just drop in on one of the Planets while I'm in there. Interesting seeing the different clubs....
Ok, time to put the cat out....he's been really pissy about going back outside after dinner. Don't know what's gotten into him...or spooked him. But it makes getting him outside a hassle. Usually with him 'hissing' me. My brat child.
Later...

Hi
I'm back from walking and 0 cents. The Temperature out the door was 68 degrees. So far this week I have seen a single deer twice and a fox ran across the road ahead of me. It is warmer than yesterday, It was comfortable outdoors while walking with a lower humidity and a nice cooling breeze. We did have rain overnight around Midnight, The streets and sidewalks were starting to dry off when I left the house.
