Hi Ed
Hot Dogs are something I can only eat if I get them fresh from the Grill into the bun. I have never been able to eat or enjoy a hot dog that is not nice and hot.
How much does it cost You to make enough Baked Beans for 40+ ?
No Glassware is something I would not have thought of as dangerous around a pool, It does make sense however.
The baked beans aren't terribly expensive to make, probably in the neighborhood of $12.00. I'd have to go back and see how much the aluminum baking pans cost to be sure but that's probably close to it, after factoring in all the beans, the spices, brown sugar, etc. Surely no more than $15 and I really think $12 is closer to it. Even though 3 hours plus on the baking time sounds like a long time I doubt the electricity costs more than dollar either. Probably not.
I mostly use store brand beans, bought on sale, to save money.
I grabbed a hot dog off the tray, fresh off the grill, and ate it as I shuttled the food to the serving area. I know health department rules say no eating in the food prep area, but since we were just an informal pool party, non-commercial, to heck with that rule! LOL. I got my nicely charred hot dog while it was still piping hot.

Hi Late Sunday evening. What a day!
Ted came out early and mowed my lawn. I always appreciate that! Then Jack and my granddaughter Olivia arrived. Jack worked on the kitchen project. He says he thinks one more thin layer of 'mud' and then it will be ready hang the cabinet back up.!!! WooHoOOO. I will be happy girl that day!!! Jack also shared with me that he had just learned that his father had died..and it was about 2 years ago. We had not seen nor heard from him for nearly 38 years, I feel badly for the boys, but not for me.
And I'd ordered the wrong filters for the water line, so that will have to go back tomorrow, and the right filters ordered...grrrrrr! Is what happens when you get in a hurry.
All of this was going on while the FINAL soccer game was on...Ted watched, I'd come thru and see the score, but never actually got to see much of the game. It was pretty much a blow out. I had no 'real' fav. but would have been happy to see Croatia win their very first World Cup. France was very happy with their win! And it was only the 2nd time for them to win.
After all that, I watched a podcast and meant to take a nap, but read articles from my iPad news feed instead!
I made something close to fajita's for dinner, and some summer squash that I fixed with a lot of onion and salt free seasoning I'd gotten right on my Amazon order
So, Tom and I have both eaten, I let Tom stay in for awhile, and then I literally had to chase the little devil out the door! He came bounding across the living room and I opened the door for him, he stopped just short of the door made a hard left hand turn, and the chase was on. I think he enjoys doing that! Like its his idea of a game.
I have a tiny bit of clean up to do in the kitchen and then I'm going to bed. I think its my turn to make a Scrabble word, and my letters are not exactly a good mix. So it should be interesting to see what I can think up.
I watched Emmy make the Hard Times plantain dishes, and am pretty sure that tomorrow after I leave the gym I will be over at the market buying plantains! I'll have to be sure to tell Jack what I've made just to freak him out again like I did the day I told him I'd used radish greens in my pot of mixed greens! I have vegan cheeses so that should work,...trying to decide if I'll use butter or a little oil to bake the plantains...Yes, even though I don't eat it I do keep Butter in my refrigerator.
Oh, and I watched the video on meat substitutes...there was one that looked quite interesting, but mostly I just shook my head...to go to that much trouble with the food processor and mushrooms, or egg plant, and nuts, etc...to turn around and drop in an egg, or other non vegan whatever is strange. Why bother????
So, tomorrow I'll be eating plantains, the Jack Fruit will wait as its in plastic baggie like stuff and refrigerator shelf life says its good til 7-12-2019...yep, 2019 it says...so I have a 'few' weeks to use it.

Hi
I'm back from walking and 1cent that I spotted laying in a crack, It blended in due to some discoloring and I was lucky enough to see the round shape and look closer. The Temperature out the door was 75degrees and It was sort of comfortable when the breeze blew. Sadly it was intermittent. It rained off and on during the morning then cleared up for the balance of the day. More rain is forecast for Tuesday thus we do not need to water until Thursday if the forecast holds.

Hello Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 74 with an expected high of 87 and 50% chance of precipitation.
The pool party yesterday was great, and the weather turned out OK too. I got a little too much sun, but I'll survive. Most of the baked beans were consumed and one friend even said he would like to possibly commission a pan of them for a party sometime!
Woke up this morning with a headache and feeling kind of icky but that's receded somewhat now. Possibly my blood glucose was low when I got up but that would be very unusual for me, and I didn't check it. I would have if the feeling had persisted very long though.
I've finished off my beef stew. The cats have been fed. I still need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and probably do some laundry.
I might get out to a store today but probably not, as I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow anyway and will be out for that. I can just stop at Kroger on the way back.
I concur, why make a extra trip if You can combine stops the next day. Curious, If it was low blood sugar I would have thought that would not get better until after eating something.
I have modified my eating slightly to where I eat something before going out the door so that I am not drinking a 30 ounce coffee refill on a empty stomach. I could take less, however my frugal nature says to me why pay the same for less ? OTOH that could be why I put weight on in the past
When I was delivering food in the 80s and 90s I was often offered free food and beverage.
I need to watch that one. I am guessing that a Crock Pot even on high would not work ?parityanimal wrote: »Things you may not have considered making in a slow cooker.

It would be real nice if some kind soul mowed our lawn
Been there, done that when ordering and selecting the wrong item too.
What happened that the Kitchen wall needed mudding ? Did the cabinet come loose ?
It seems that the World Cup winning pick by the camel was wrong

It could be a game for Your crazy cat.
Why keep butter if You don't eat it, If You are cooking with it why not just use it elsewhere or am I missing something ?
Wow talk about a long shelf life for a fruit item.Oh, and I watched the video on meat substitutes...there was one that looked quite interesting, but mostly I just shook my head...to go to that much trouble with the food processor and mushrooms, or egg plant, and nuts, etc...to turn around and drop in an egg, or other non vegan whatever is strange.

I was just out back and a few Raspberries and one lone Blackberry that was ripe enough to eat, the Blackberries seem to lag behind the Raspberries
The Columnar Apple trees have a couple of apples on them, Finally.
I also noticed that the Deer ? or some other critter is eating the leaves off of a climbing type vegetable I wonder if my Brother had noticed it, I think it is new damage.

Hi
After watching the slow cooker video, I started wondering if a Rice Cooker would work, especially for bread. I have a Crock Pot and a Rice Maker in the cabinet so...
I suspect that the Rice Cooker gets hotter before it drops down to the Holding temperature.
Any thoughts ?
Cheers

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 77 with an expected high of 86 and 80% chance of precipitation. All while I'm on my way to and from the doctor this afternoon, no doubt. I am still (probably) planning to stop at Kroger on the way back to buy a few groceries...
Got a few towels to fold from the pool party. Cats and I have been fed, but their bowls from yesterday still need to be cleaned.

Hi,
quick minute.
Thundering like mad. I think I'm about to get my 70% rain that is forecasted for the hours of 4-5&6pm. Just a little early.
I'm gonna have a nap!
Did my gym walk, bought yellow plantains, peppers, onion, at the Mex Market. Have garlic, soy sauce and Worcester. Also have some 'Follow your Heart' cheddar, and I think, maybe, also have some vegan parm cheese. So I should be good to go for Hard Times Plantains for dinner. Now, I need to watch for a soursop..maybe a bit smaller than what Emmy got at Whole Foods....thinking the international market just up the street.
Still n eed to go back and read Roger's links...great cartoons today too!
Ok, the noise is no longer at a distance...and its dark, and pretty much no wind. (That sounds like Tornado weather!)

Dinner tonight was an egg and cheese THING that Eduardo tossed together. 4 eggs, beaten lightly with some random amount of milk. Maybe half a cup, maybe 2/3. No idea really, and then a very generous amount of shredded mild Cheddar. Sort of a cross between a crustless quiche and a soufflé but since I didn't whip up the egg whites separately, it never really had a chance of being a soufflé.
To go with it, some spicy roasted potatoes gratin. Potatoes, diced up, then parboiled, and shaken with some spicy olive oil, some hot paprika, some Spike seasoning, powdered sriracha, a little normal salt (not much, there is some in the powdered sriracha) and black pepper. Then, a generous, unmeasured amount of Parmesan/Romano blend.
After shaking it all up, it was spread in a single layer in a 9x13 baking dish and baked for 10 minutes at 450 and then 15 more at 350.
The egg THING was cooked on the stovetop until done, then the rest of the bag of mild Cheddar cheese was sprinkled on top and the whole thing broiled in the oven to melt and brown the cheese topping.
J and I both really liked what Eduardo tossed together tonight.

Ok, stopped in for a minute to brag about my dinner! Emmy wasn't kidding. The Plantains were excellent...and the Plantain skins boiled then stir fried with the peppers, onion, and garlic etc was excellent too! I ate two helpings! There is enough left so tomorrow for breakfast I will heat the stir fried part up, and some rice, open a can of black beans and use my last flour tortilla (the great big size) and I will have a fat burrito for breakfast! Can't wait.
I noticed sort of a floral aroma as I peeled the plantain, not quite, but almost sweet...and then when I baked the actual plantain it had a sweet taste which went really well with my fake cheeses! I'd bet that if one used a queso that can be shredded it would be over the moon! I love queso, either kind. But its a no-no at my house.
Ok, off to bed to play a Scrabble game, and do a puzzle. I know if I start reading the news on either CNN or BBC I'll be up til tomorrow!
Ed your dinner "Thing" sounded really good! I love some of these 'thingy' dinners that can quickly be pulled together and are tasty!
Ok, good night all! Til later...0 -

And I was up til 'tomorrow' ie, 2am this morning! When will I learn?
Heading to the shower then my big burrito followed by the gym, Costco for gasoline, Kroger for sparkling water and more lg flour tortilla's, then I may treat self to a pedi at the place next to Publix...while there I'll hit Publix for lottery ticket and a salad. Those salads look pricy, but it makes 3 salads for me which makes it quite reasonable. And I'm lazy so no prep on my part other than to make a batch of my FF, low sodium, salad dressing which works out to be about 45 calories for 2 tablespoons!
Not only did I get a downpour here in the afternoon, but again at around 11 last night! Almost afraid to go look at the rain gauge!! (not really).
Need to look at email to see if anything actually Needs attention also....gonna be busy today, and its Jack Chat evening so I have to be done by 4p.
Later...0 -
Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 74 with an expected high of 90 and 20% chance of precipitation.
With the pouring rain, needless to say, I didn't stop at Kroger yesterday afternoon so might get out to the store today. We'll see.
