So far my accomplishments for the day are Gym and grocery..(needed cilantro and a small tomato)..so as you can see my day is going very slowly, and about to get slower still..soon to be taking a nap!
Its O's gym day, so there's that and getting the trash to the street...
Should do it for this day.
Enjoyed the cartoons this morning...and the fried beets. I may have to try that, sans the bacon grease. Maybe a spritz of spray oil, and some oven time would work?
Later...
Hi Valerie
I have seen Them put sliced beets in a fryer to make a chip out of them on a cooking show FWIW.
To me it sounds as if You are getting things done.
Enjoy the gym day and Thanks for the feedback

I think I will pass on Cheeseless Cheesecake.
If I'm going to eat all those calories I want the real thing
Lucky You, Out high is forecast to be in the mid 60s, Rain probably moving in tonight.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's fabulous Friday! 70 out there now with an expected high of 79 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Need to get the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and put away and get the sink cleared into the dishwasher. But also need to get the cats fed, which will probably come first.
Possibly a trip to the grocery today.
Even the packaging on those two looked scary as far as eating the contents.parityanimal wrote: »Ditto for this one!
Have a Nice Day

Made it out to the store but forgot to get potatoes. They hadn't made it to my shopping list and I didn't think of them. But I have some dehydrated potatoes if I get desperate, and there are still a few real potatoes left. Maybe I'll run out to Aldi tomorrow.
Today, Ingles did have Jumbo eggs, though not a whole lot. I got a dozen of them. I also got some Muenster cheese and some pepper jack slices. I'm wondering what a grilled pepper jack would be like. Might have to find out.
I can make a quick run to Aldi tomorrow for potatoes if I need to. Come to that, onions too, and maybe a couple of bell peppers.

Watching the guy eat that old cracker...the one that tastes like moth balls...no thanks! None for me please.
Grilled Pepper Jack is tasty...(from my old days and bad ways of eating!)...
I was intrigued when both of you thought the potato cheese cake would be very high in calories...so I'm going to run it thru my calorie counter in a few minutes, cuz I'm not sure it would be..... (thinking about my fake cheese made with potato...)
Back later, or maybe later still....I really think I need a nap!0 -
Ok,, I put the ingredients for the old Potato Cheesecake...
ended up with 226 calories for 10 slice per pie.
According to My Fitness Pal, a New York style Cheesecake 380 calories/slice
Strawberry Cheesecake....350/slice
Original Cheese Cake Factory Original recipe is 450/slice
So if you might want to save a few calories maybe revisit the Potato Cheesecake! I thought that, because of my cheese making with tofu, or potato, or cashew nuts.
Curious now to know the calorie count average of an NS dessert??? Roger can you check on your stock for us?
Ok, one nap coming up.......now0 -
Howdy y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 69 out there now with an expected high of 81 and 10% chance of rain.
Monthly regional Orchid judging today so we will be there with the camera.
Might still stop at Aldi for some potatoes and maybe fruit.

Hi
I was out doing some walking this Morning + 2 cents. The temperature this morning was 61 degrees on the porch and 62 degrees on the cable channel. I wore a Lighter Long Sleeve shirt and light gloves due to the warmer weather.
While walking I saw two deer on the lawn across from me, I did not see them until they moved, in the dim light they blended in. It appeared to be a Mother and this years fawn by the size.

Was at a chamber meeting last night and the main topic of conversation was the lack of applicants for open jobs.
Not talking skills gap etc, talking literally about the number of applicants. Not even getting the ones where you ask yourself why they even applied.
We've had a position posted for over a week and we've gotten three applicants. That would have been within the first hour last year.
You seeing similar?

Is Aldi all that much cheaper for items like that compared to a produce store?
Well Originally there was rain in the forecast, that was downgraded to sprinkles. While was walking I had a few drops of light rain hit me, It was enough to dampen the pavement and that is it so far. I did have a Disposable AKA Emergency Rain poncho with me in a pocket of the safety vest just in case.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Hi Valerie
It could have been worse it could have been hard tack AKA cabin bread, pilot bread, sea biscuit, sea bread (as rations for sailors), ship's biscuit, or ship biscuit, or pejoratively as "dog biscuits", "molar breakers", "sheet iron", "tooth dullers", or "worm castles

Thank You for looking it up. I will admit that a New York style Cheesecake is really tasty and having never had a Cheesecake factory slice I an not compare them. Since the two closest locations are in larger malls I will likely never have a slice unless they also sell in Grocery store freezers, I never thought to look.
Ok, Here You go. You asked for it, You got it.
Orange Cream Bar, 90 Calories
Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Nut Bar, 200 Calories
As far as I know it that is the extremes of the range with most being 140 to 150 calories.
Have a Nice Day

Hi Ed
Is Aldi all that much cheaper for items like that compared to a produce store?
Well, prices vary, but Aldi has the advantage of being so close that I could walk there if I want, though I doubt I'd want to walk back with 5 pounds or so of potatoes, and added poundage of onions and/or fruit. I just forgot to buy them at Ingles as I was watching my wallet, and had not put them on the list. I got the "critical" things on the list and if it wasn't on it, it didn't get considered or purchased...

The "red pill" at the nursing homes made me think of this:

Actually I hadn't commented on the calories in the potato "cheese"cake, but think with all that potato that it would probably spike me regardless. I was surprised how little sugar he put in it, and it did look tasty!
Might give it a try sometime...
