Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's superb Sunday!
72 with an expected high of 87 and 30% chance of precipitation.
Didn't sleep well, waking up rather ill feeling in the middle of the night when J came to bed, but managed to sip a bit of water, lay back down, and doze back off until nearly 7:00 when Lilo declared it time to get up.
I did get the laundry folded yesterday and J brought laundry back too, preferring it to be done here where the cat hairs aren't apparently as abundant as the dog hairs at my sister in law's house. They are heading back up today. Some of that laundry is still to be folded but I may let J take care of that while packing.
Need to get the cat bowls from yesterday cleaned and need to feed the cats.
It is not that nice a day outside, The Forecast overnight lows in the mid 60s did not happen.
Sundays High Temperature was 89 according to the TV, Today's high is forecast to be worse. The house was warm enough when I returned home that despite it being 6AM I turned on the Living Room AC.
I will be watching this one later, for now I wonder if it the real haggis or the Americanized version, My guess is that it is not the traditional Scotland version since it came in a can.parityanimal wrote: »Emmy eats Scotland: Haggis taste test.

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hello!!! From the sunny, humid, and hot South!
Got the lawn mowed today! After having lunch in Alpharetta with M. She was between teaching a class and then watching over the littles during church services. I was soaked when I got finished with the mowing. (course it was 3:30 - 4:ish...so it was to be expected! Mid afternoon is not my idea of the ideal time to do outdoor labor, but....it rained again last night, as it does so frequently on hot summer days....and the grass does not dry until later in the afternoon...that's just the way it is. And I don't cut wet grass. nor use my electric trimmer either!
Help me out here Roger. You posted "Doing physical work in a HHH environment ......" whats HHH? hot? humid? and whats the last H???
HHH is Hot, Hazy, and Humid. I mowed the lawn Sunday before it got to hot, I was out there at 8AM.
House MouseEd, glad you posted about a load of clothes to fold....I forgot I washed a load of light colored clothes before I left for Alpharetta...So, as soon as I've finished dinner, it will be 'wrinkle release for the dryer'. followed by folding by the house mouse!
Tried one of the new TM's at the gym....sweet! Gave it my age and weight and the time I wanted to walk....and it kept my heart rate where it belonged by raising or lowering the incline, or the speed! All I had to do was keep up! Will have a 'go' with it again tomorrow!!!
Need to finish my dinner and feed Tom E. cat and I can call this day DONE!!
Later...
oh, and fold those clothes in the dryer.....darn it!
I do that too if I forget to fold them while they are warm, I warm then up again.
I wonder if it is tied into a central database ? That does sound as if they have been making improvements to them.
Cheers

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 87 with an expected high of 91 and 30% chance of precipitation.
Not a lot to do today. Maybe a nap. J and my sister in law are safely back in Kentucky.
A nap may be in the forecast.

Really should have posted this one yesterday, but here it is. Stuart's Father's Day Poundland Special.

One p.m. already....hummm. guess I'll get my gym clothes on when I finish this.
Roger, I had forgotten your questions about my Keurig...the mini does not hook up to a water supply like the commercial ones do, my bank has one too..:). The Mini...easy peasy...pour a coffee cup of cool water in the top. lower that lid...(water drains into the heating chamber), put coffee cup under the brewing area...lift the lid on the area where the pod goes..close it, it will punch 2 holes on the pod...one on top to facilitate getting hot water into the pod, and a smaller hole on the bottom of the pod, that's where the finished coffee comes ...takes less than 2 minutes. So, no this MINI does not keep heated water in any sort of holding tank. There a bigger ones that do have a water reservoir, that lifts on and off so you can clean or take it to the water source. Marietta has one like that...as do Jack and Jenn. Since I only drink one cup for the day...anything more than the Mini would be a waste! (I also suspect that the commercial ones do not store heated water...but have a regular water line, and heat just like mine does.) I've used the one at the bank on several occasions, and it takes awhile to heat just like mine.)
Also thanks for the explanation for HHH...it was the hazy I was missing! And on Father's Day you woke the neighborhood at 8 a.m......oh, bet they loved that
, not!
Ed, the meatless tomato sauce that you posted looks pretty good! Its made with real foods and not soy isolates so that's a major plus! From the ingredients they used, I suspect the protein content is about the same as if it had hamburger, and a lot less fat, especially Saturated Fat. So, thanks for the video! I always enjoy new recipe's! Keeps me from getting bored with same old same old sauces and sides!
I need to get my day on track...so off to poke around outside for a short while, and then hit the gym....the Mex. market for some banana's....etc...feed me...feed cat...yada yada. Later...

Tonight's Greek pasta. Ground lamb, browned, with bell peppers, onions, garlic, crushed tomatoes and spices, tossed with ziti. A nice, dry red wine to go with it. Plenty of leftovers to be sure!

Hi
I'm back from walking and 10 cents. The Temperature out the door was 77 degrees. I short circuited my walk as the warmth sucked the get up and go out of me.

We hit a high around 95 degrees Monday, and a Round of Thunder with a torrential downpour around 8:30PM and I did hear more rain hitting the bedroom AC overnight.

Thank You for the explanation...
I would be interested in a Mini if I did not know it doesn't brew enough coffee. I only drink a cup of coffee OTOH it is from a 30 ounce insulated Yeti Cup
HHH is a common use item around here in the summer, I had just presumed it was all over the country.
I talked to a Yard service person we know about starting hours and he stated he had checked with the Police and 7AM except Weekends where it is 8AM. I was never able to sleep late on weekends so it did not even occur to me, neither did Fathers Day enter my Radar
That meatless Tomato Sauce or as I think of it Tomato gravy did look good, Taste I would have to try it. The Homemade Tomato Gravy as made by my Grandparents and Parents was always loaded with a variety of beef and pork.Ed, the meatless tomato sauce that you posted looks pretty good! Its made with real foods and not soy isolates so that's a major plus!

I did a little thinking about it when McDonalds joined Wendy's using fresh Ground Beef and came to the conclusion that the Ground beef is likely Cryovac packed which will keep it fresh a lot longer. I also wondered how much training the changeover took and if they just used a mold that guaranteed that a 1/4 pound patty weighs 1/4 pound or if they are weighing each one...
MY Brother returned from the Grocery Store with the bunch of free Bananas from a store coupon, not organic I'm sure.
Have a Good Day

Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 73 with an expected high of 93 and 0% chance of precipitation.
I might get out to the grocery today. We'll see. Possibly some laundry. Also, possibly a nap.

How to preserve avocado. I recall that in college I helped myself memorize the French word for "lawyer" (avocat) by thinking of an avocado wearing a business suit in a courtroom.

Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 72 degrees. It was sort of comfortable outdoors while walking since there was a breeze.

I may go out to the grocery store while my brother is away later on today too.
Yesterdays weather forecast indicates rain later today and into Early Thursday morning. Hopefully it will be done raining by the time I get ready to go walking.
Thanks for the links

Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I tried to get on earlier but the site was down for maintenance. I've been up for hours, of course, but distracted by internet, breakfast, feeding the cats, internet, grocery shopping, lunch, internet...well, you know how that goes!
Now that I'm back, lunch is taken care of, dinner is planned, and the site is up, I can finally post.
90 out there (and it feels at least that hot) with an expected high of 92 and no chance of precipitation.
Got the clean dishes out of the dishwasher this morning and, as mentioned above, got some grocery shopping done.
Kiara and Dinah helped me put the groceries away and then I finished off my Greek pasta stuff for lunch. Dinner is planned as a Mandarin orange beef stir fry. At any rate, I bought the stir fry veggie and sauce kit and some very thin sliced steak, that I can cut into bite size strips easily. So I'll do SOMETHING with that tonight. Might have to jazz it up a bit with garlic and jalapeño.
Kiara and Dinah assisted with the putting away of groceries.

Tonight's evolution of dinner, ending with extra spicy Mandarin beef and veggies, of which I have another plate for tomorrow. I kicked the (already nicely spicy) sauce up a notch or two with some added garlic, jalapeño and sriracha.

Back again...
Watched Emmy make Ginger Beef BBQ...with seitan. (which Ted calls Satan cuz the taste and texture is so much like beef or chicken.) Until gluten became a problem for me I used to us it for all kinds of 'meaty' food dishes....oh, well...
? Emmy says something/phrase before she tastes something...do you know what she says? I can't understand her and am curious.
I may be curious enough to try making some rice flour bread. Sounds interesting, sure looked easy enough...I will be using rice flour from Bob's Red Mill or other sources....I don't see me standing around bashing rice into flour. I may be a lot of things, but stupid just isn't one of them!
On my way to bed. Knees sore from today's TM walk. For some reason the machine was having a problem holding my heart rate steady...so the incline went up as much as 3.1, and down to .1 or Zero...anyhow, got it done.
Again, Later...0 -

You could probably make the Ginger Beef Barbecue with tofu. J calls seitan Satan too, for the same reason. He doesn't care for it at all.
Before eating, Japanese people say "itadakimasu," a polite phrase meaning "I receive this food." and that is what Emmy says.

Hi
I'm back from walking and no cents. The Temperature out the door was 71 degrees. Once again it was sort of comfortable outdoors while walking since there was a breeze. Then on the return leg the overdue rain appeared and I had to use the Disposable Rain Poncho. That made it less comfortable as the Poncho blocked the breeze, Oh well
