OK. I like tuna. I like waffles. But I don't mix the two and this doesn't look at all appetizing to me. Having said that, I could see myself putting this (maybe) on toast or noodles.

Good Morning Guys!!
Enjoying my coffee...watched the kids with the 'old peoples' snacks!! The little Asian girl and her rendition of old people walking was hilarious! As funny as O years ago when she grabbed a throw I'd knitted, hopped into the rocking chair and pretended to be cold and talked like a frail old person. She had me laughing til my sides hurt. Ted used to do that when he was a little kid...not pretend to be old, but he was an excellent mime. I recall one time he took a short length of rope and a metal lunch box and did a whole routine on how heavy and difficult it was to pull the empty box across the living room floor. Never said a word, and I was practically on the floor laughing!!!
Today looks like a good day to trim a few shrubs, go to the gym, or a few other chores that come with Monday.
Ed, do we need to mark this day with a celebration of 'No Laundry Day'??? Wish I could say the same, but I know I have a dark load to wash and dry. (gym clothes keep my washer busy) Or put another way, if I had a 'Laundry hat', by now it would be frayed and worn!!!
Roger, I think I'm a pretty adventurous eater. Don't mind trying new things...like the plantains, pb&j w onions, I've eaten bear and moose or elk, forget which, eel, octopus, a few chocolate ants, grasshoppers, etc. Uni, which is sea urchin and also shrimp heads fried at a sushi bar. But right now I'm trying ever so hard not to eat fat in general, and specifically not saturated fat. So, adding fat in peanuts to fat in mayo (vegan of course) is just not in my best interest.
Those were 'Hard Times' sandwiches as I recall, and I'll bet if I was out of food or money, (or both, God forbid), I'd be right there thankfully eating my Mayo & PBJ!!! LOL!!
It looks so clear and clean outside from my window, so I checked my phone, its 10 a.m and 80 degrees. Looks can be deceiving!
Later...

And...dinner is started. Most of it anyway, though I may steam (or even fry! GASP) some yellow squash and/or zucchini to go with it.

Update: Had a friend over to dinner. The pot roast came out delicious, as did all the vegetables. For an additional side I did steam some zucchini and yellow squash, and tossed it in a light butter sauce with a little salt and pepper.
My friend also took a plate with him to be his lunch tomorrow at work.

Hi
I'm back from walking and once again no cents. The Temperature out the door was 78 degrees and still uncomfortable walking due to humidity.
Last night at 10PM it was 88 degrees and the temperature never dropped that much IMO.

Today is the first day of school so that alters the traffic patterns for a while.
The laundry room has NO LAUNDRY IN IT. After finishing the washing and drying yesterday, everything is folded and put away. I'm actually all caught up on laundry for a change.
J is safely in Kentucky at his sister's house.
I need to feed the cats and clean yesterday's cat bowls and get that pot roast into the slow cooker by 10:00 to 10:30 or so, along with some carrots, potato(es) and an onion. I generally don't put celery in with mine as I can take it or leave it, but would just as soon leave it, and usually don't have any on hand anyway. If I did have any on hand, I'd probably put it in just to use it up.
Lilo is getting antsy so it must be about time to feed the cats. At 15+ she's definitely the queen of the household.
Wow, to me that is a really early start for the school year.
IT did not even look like something I would try, OTOH I am not a fan of canned Tuna, To me it has a unpleasant smell.parityanimal wrote: »OK. I like tuna. I like waffles.

That sounds like really funny and creative humor.
We picked up a new bypass clipper that really slices through branches when trimming and it works better than than the name brand we bought last year.
Laundry is not my favorite chore...
You are much more of an adventurous eater than I. Many of the foods You mention are things I have never eaten. I have had fried Plantains.Roger, I think I'm a pretty adventurous eater.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
Not so terrific for my uncle F. Found out via phone call last night, from Mom, that cousin M killed himself Friday.
By the time Mom found out, she and aunt J (her sister) didn't really have time to get down here to Douglasville for the visitation and funeral TODAY, so she won't be there to comfort F, their brother.
I'm not even sure that my uncle will be at the funeral as they've elected to NOT TELL his somewhat senile wife, my aunt, about this, as she was threatening suicide ten years ago when their second son died. Losing a third of their four children could well push her over the edge.
I expect that at least their one surviving son will be there anyway and uncle F may be able to get away from aunt R for a day or two, on some pretext. He'd have had a long drive too, so would have had to drive down last night.
At any rate, Mom asked me to represent the family. Everyone else is too far away to get there, except one younger brother, J, who is at McDonough and he may not be able to get the day off on such short notice.
Heading out shortly.

Ok,
Gym, late, but done √
laundry all put away √
Costco to pick up scripts √
Kroger for just a very few groceries..($37.00) √
Chat with Jack√
And that was my day..
I read the tuna on waffle of Emmy's. And read you alls comments...LOL!!! Long ago and far away the St. Louis newspaper sponsored a recipe challenge for kids out of school for the summer, And guess what I submitted, and was published...Tuna Melt or some such name...only I didn't have waffles...suggested it be put on toast. Now, that said I know I used a can of tuna...but way back then a 'standard' can of tuna was 5 or 6 ounces, unlike the smaller cans of today...that may have made a difference...also mine did not have olives...Hey! I was about 10 or 11 years old...and at that time olives were evil!!!
I, with my early palate I thought the tuna stuff was delicious. Maybe cuz I made it???
So, I'm a culinary recipe author, and was published again several years ago...when a web site I followed about gardening, was asked how to kill cat tails in a pond or lake...now that is a problem, can't use herbicides, etc. so I dropped the lady a line telling her to pull and eat them...and she published my suggestion, even my advice on how to cook and eat them, but I was not by named..
Goofy I know...
Roger I think all my pruners, loppers, etc are by-pass. I had one anvil type and quickly parted company with it..
Ed, sorry to hear about your cousin. Suicide is never a good thing for anybody, the living or the dead. From P'Tree Corners to Douglasville..quite a long jaunt I'm thinking??? Glad you could go to represent the family. I'm sure your Mom appreciated you doing that.. Hope she fixes you something special to eat next time you drive home.
Later....(its already 10p.m...don't want to turn into a pumpkin!! )
Oh, I can't imagine what vegetarian ham would look or taste like...yuck...and for the record, I don't necessarily like doing laundry, but I to appreciate clean clothes...so gotta do it!!0 -

I'll be brief. Losing a child is tough on mothers.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hate death and funerals, I am never sure what to say...
Good Luck getting through this.

That is a busy sounding day as I see it.
Palates change, I used to like Tuna Casserole and now to me the canned tuna stinks. That is a bit of a problem as my brother eats a lot canned tuna
I sort of like the look of Cat Tails growing...
Published recipe
I have to wonder why they even make and sell Anvil pruners, Cheaper to make maybe ?Roger I think all my pruners, loppers, etc are by-pass. I had one anvil type and quickly parted company with it..

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! 84 with an expected high of 88 and 20% chance of precipitation. The lawn guys came bright and early this morning so the lovely smell of freshly mown grass is outside.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls. Nothing much else on the agenda.

Hi!
Watched the mock lobster salad sandwich video...I've never eaten heart of palm but if the texture is 'right' I may have to give that a try. Ed, Roger, anybody eaten heart of palm?? I also saw the polenta sticks, and watched it again...somehow even baked, those look very interesting. I can see me making those this winter.
Non-busy day...Gym, lunch, nap, and dinner soon. Oh, I did go to Publix as I woke up thinking about dinner, and decided what I really wanted was French cut green beans, frozen. So, after gym I picked some up. Had them with lunch... and I did a load of dark clothes...what's new???? LOL!!
Wow! Nice, but hot day just morphed into big wind and then toad strangler!! All in less than about 20 minutes!!
Mother Nature's on a rampage!!
Roger I have NO idea why anyone would buy anvil type pruners. I've wondered that for years. And this will make you chuckle....I've never eaten Tofurkey!!!
Ed, hope your day went as well as could be expected. Funerals are never fun.
Think its time to fix some dinner. Tom's eaten so it must be my turn.

I have eaten tofurkey. It's actually not bad.
One year for Thanksgiving I decided it would be fun to get a stuffed tofurkey roast at Whole Foods, some vegan giblet gravy, and a few other sides.
While it was a tasty enough meal, I prefer real turkey. 0 -

Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls. Nothing much else on the agenda.
Today is once again forecast to be in the 90s, The heat wave continues
The humidity is forecast to be lower later today, too late to do me any good walking. I will be out the door later after my brother leaves to go to the post office. I have to ship back the old cable modem that they sent to give higher speeds for the same price, At least it is a prepaid label.
A price too high as is IMO. The swap was a pain in the neck. The problem started with the instructions.
Step 1. Download their App to the Smartphone.
Step 2. Scan a QR code.
Step 3. Swap modems.
Step 4. Go back and use the app to activate if I understood it.
I did not pay a lot of attention to all the steps as all we have are Dumb Phones AKA Flip Phones that have no Internet, one or two have cameras, Unneeded IMO FWIW. Therefore I ended up on the phone to the cable company. It started off poorly with the announcement that there was a 45 minute Que ahead of me. Did I want to stay online or set up a callback. I chose Callback. Then the darn thing took forever to get going
Why is what came to mind, I have never eaten lobster nor do I plan to start at this time of life. Pop did like Sealegs, Just in case:parityanimal wrote: »Vegetarian "lobster' rolls.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_stick
Crab sticks, krab sticks, imitation crab meat or seafood sticks are seafood made of starch and finely pulverized white fish (surimi), shaped and cured to resemble the leg meat of snow crab or Japanese spider crab.
I've never seen these, I have seen Cauliflower Steaks on cooking shows OTOH.parityanimal wrote: »Baked cabbage steaks.

Vegan Giblet Gravy
Sunday My brother brought home a 50 % off Perdue Oven stuffer, and Stuffing mix. Since it was a reduced 5 Pound + Chicken it was cooked the same day. Giblet gravy too. Tasty also.
Somedays it pays to scout the Bargain Bins at the ShopRite They have several, One for refrigerated foods such as baked goods, Lunch meats and more, next to rack of discount baked breads and donuts. Back in the meat section a up to 70% off space, By the Deli a section for Deli item Ends.

I have never eaten Palm Hearts so no feedback is available from me.
I have been eating the Organic Frozen Green Beans from CostCo lately. I put 4 or 5 baby carrot sticks in the bowl, Toss in a couple of the Organic Sprouts from CostCo then add the beans to my target weight and heat, tasty and a variety. FWIW the sprouts were packaged in one pound bags inside of a larger bag to a total of four pounds.
That sounds like normal NJ summer weather that we see on hot and humid days.
Have a Nice Day
