And a soldier's hack for making frosting from an MRE shake. Not sure I'd want strawberry banana frosting on a carrot cake though...maybe on a plain vanilla pound cake.

I will freely admit that, when traveling, I used to often bring a stuffed penguin with me, as I never had a teddy bear. I guess it's a teddy penguin then? I don't generally want one when at home as I have my spouse, or a cat generally sleeping in the same bed anyway.
Interesting sea life washed up there. It can often be difficult to identify such animals once the process of decomposing has gotten underway as it may not resemble its living self all that much any more. I'm sure they'll figure out exactly what it is.
We tried satellite years ago but didn't care for that, and we cut our cable, as far as television anyway, ages ago. We simply don't watch that much television and when we do, we can find the shows we want online via Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime usually. The cable kept getting more and more expensive and we found that when we did get bored enough to turn it on, there may have been 200 channels available but usually nothing that looked interesting enough to watch, unless we had scheduled our time for a specific item we wanted to waatch and knew what time and channel it would be on well in advance.
We haven't missed it a bit.
We do still have internet via a local cable provider.
That was one tough Coyote, Your guess as to why they relocated it could be right.
If I said I must have been deprived growing up, I never had a stuffed animal.
The Video of the animal on the TV news showed more detail, That was one toothy critter. I did see surmise it might might be some type of Eel from the Gulf of Mexico. Update, Identified s one of three possibilities.

The fanged, faceless sea creature that washed ashore during Harvey has been identified
By Lindsey Bever September 14 at 3:35 PM
A sea creature identified as a possible a fangtooth snake-eel on a beach in Texas City, Tex.
Tighe, an eel expert, told Earth Touch News that the creature was most likely a fangtooth snake-eel, or Aplatophis chauliodus.
Fangtooth snake-eels live in burrows 100 to 300 feet down in waters stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to French Guiana, “with only snout and eyes exposed, darting to feed on other fishes and crustaceans,” according to FishBase, an online database for fish species.
Other possibilities? Bathyuroconger vicinus or Xenomystax congroides.
I have Satellite TV, and Basic Cable with High Speed Internet. Why two Providers to keep one Cable only channel that is available on the lowest tier
That sounds like a tasty breakfast to me. I have bought the name brand dollar store breakfasts for variety in the last couple of months, That would be Eggs and Sausage with 5 or 6 Tater Tot style Potatoes. Another with french toast in place of the Scrambled Eggs and a third with Pancakes instead of the Eggs.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Hi Valerie
My brother watches a lot of the Subchannels off of the cable service, He uses a old Philips DVD recorder of mine that tunes them in as long as they keep transmitting them in the clear.
If the cable company decided to scramble those subchannels the cost of adding them due to the cable box rental fee would pay for having a Antenna mounted on the roof so he could keep watching them.
And at that point Basic Cable could likely go away and only keep the High Speed Internet and to show my displeasure with them drop to a slower tier Internet reducing their income from me. I suspect that the Difference in speeds from the tiers has a minimal cost to them as they use the same equipment for all internet.
The answer to Your question as to why QVC is easy.
1. I understand that Shopping channels pay to be carried
2. http://www.cordcutterforum.com/threads/get-qvc-and-hsn-over-the-air.611/
QVC Over The Air is the result of a partnership between QVC and Ion Media Networks formed in
2014. QVC is carried on the 5th digital sub-channel on most Ion TV owned and operated stations. The new service began broadcasting in August 2013.
Though it's technically a separate broadcast with it's own lower right corner "on-screen bug", QVC Over The Air features the exact same live programming as its cable cousins. The channel is carried on digital sub-channels in select locations.
Enjoy Your Day

Today's Kroger Friday Freebie is a Hormel® Compleats® microwave meal, any variety (7.5 - 13 oz.). These are very similar to the NS shelf stable microwaveable trays, but with perhaps a bit less attention to specific nutritional statistics.
I've eaten them before, and will certainly use this to get one for free. I just have to decide on WHICH one. Maybe the spaghetti and meat sauce, as it will let me have spaghetti while seriously limiting the portion size.

Hi Ed
If I said I prefer the NS frozen Chicken Parm dinner that has Spaghetti in it to the room temperature dishes ? I do keep a mix of both on hand for Variety however.
I have had a few of those Hormel meals in recent time, Tasty enough. I do wonder who makes the NS Entrees for them.
I am also wondering how the crop devastation and predicted raise in Produce and Fruit prices will effect things.
Whichever One You decide to pickup, Enjoy

Trying to rest my knee as much as possible. It is feeling a LOT better, but we have a pool party tomorrow, Saturday. I didn't get to the BIG grocery store, Kroger, but I did get to the little, nearby grocery, Aldi, and my knee, while not feeling TOO bad, did make it clear that enough was enough and it was time to make my purchases and get on home to lunch and let it rest some more. The pain is lurking in there, I can sense it, but it's remaining dormant for now. I'll try not to be too active at the pool party.
So I'll be up early getting baked beans going. One of the hosts had to drive down to Florida to do something for his mother, so J and I, along with a couple of others, are going to arrive early for the party and help set up, and, I presume, help clean up after. We did some of that at the last one. Again, I'll try to help as much as I can but won't risk getting my knee all bent out of shape.
Summer is creeping to an end, so I don't know how many more pool parties will happen, but I'm sure we'll attend as many as possible.

Howdy y'all. It's sensational Saturday!
64 out there now with an expected high of 86 and 0% chance of rain. Should be a great day for a pool party.
I've been up since 6:15 or so and got the beans into the oven by 6:45, which is pretty good movement for me that close after getting up. Thank goodness I have that procedure burned into my head so well that I could just about do it in my sleep.
My chili cheese dog breakfast is cooking now. I decided the dog portion would be nicer broiled and a bit crispy so that's the holdup, as the toaster oven has not yet dinged. The rest is all microwave.
The cats are to be fed directly after I eat my breakfast.
Never did fold that *KITTEN* laundry yesterday. Maybe this morning...maybe. LOL
Just towels, socks and underwear. Quick refresh and it will be good to go.

I would try and rest it if it were my knee also.
Good Luck at the Pool Party. Protect Your knee, the rehab if it needs replacing is no joke.

Thursday I had my brother pick up some food from the hot foods section of the ShopRite. After he called with the selection I ended up with tender tasty Roast beef slices and some Slices of Pork Loin. When I looked at the receipt to see what I owed I noticed that one was 0.23 pounds and the other was 0.24 pounds. He could not have gotten closer if he had been trying which he was not doing The Pork Loin had a slice if a decent sized Mushroom in with it. I used them as a protein for Lunch and Dinner Friday.
I was a little surprised that You did not toast the bun too? I think I would have unless the Chili was on the Bun. I wish I had the counter space for a Toaster oven as a compliment to the Toaster. I suspect that they do not make one small enough to only hold two slices of bread...
TBH as long as the laundry is dried I wouldn't worry about it if Your knee is bothering You.
Enjoy Your Party

Hi Ed
if You could indulge me, How good a job does it do? I use the Toaster more for heating the NS French Toast, Pancakes and Waffles which I buy from the Dollar Store, I can get them in Blueberry flavor or plain and three servings per Box is a lot cheaper than the NS Waffles and Pancakes.
Any feedback to offer, I have never used one so I am guessing it does one side at a time?
Thank You
