    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I need to find something besides thrilling to describe Thursdays. Hmmmm. Must ponder that.

    67 with an expected high of 90 and 0% chance of precipitation. Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and feed the cats before the starve to death. Hah! I also should really try to get out to the grocery today. I'm not, per se, OUT of food, but some items have gone critically low and I need to restock.
    Hi Ed
    Better thrilling than boring.
    I like that cartoon :smiley:

    No work arounds for the low items ? Yesterday did not quite hit the forecast temperature of 80, only 78 degrees.
    Low carb bagel recipes.
    Interesting, I need to watch this later, maybe save the video too, that depends on how the viewing goes.
    5 minute home made ice cream in a bag.
    I think I have seen that on a cooking show along with the Ice Cream ball that You shake to make the ice cream.
    And to go with that ice cream how about some cake? Looks tasty, but maybe not. No hummingbirds were harmed in the making of the cake, as far as I know.
    From here it looks like a Carrot cake, or at least the slices sold at the ShopRite bakery department.
    20 minute one man pizza. Looks like it should be at least a 2 man pizza to me. Maybe even 3 man.
    To me it looks like it needs more baking, the shredded cheese does not look like it really melted so pass. The crust may also not be crusty as it should be.
    Tonight's cheesy white chili tater bite casserole. Didn't get to the grocery today as I had a headache so I had to let Edwierdo...er, Eduardo, improvise from what was available. The result was quite nice and will go into my permanent mental recipe file.
    It looks like You managed to improvise in a tasty manner.

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 71 with an expected high of 91 and 10% chance of precipitation.

    Need to feed the cats and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. And today I may actually get out to the grocery store!

    I'm low on milk, cheese, crackers, flour, cornmeal, canned beans, etc.

    Hi! This is second writing...lost first one.
    Hummingbird cake is a real 'thing'...it is very much like carrot cake, but has a few 'other' ingredients..like pineapple..
    I would love to have a modest taste of that Old Scotch Whisky!!! On the rocks, please. :)
    Had issues with my computer or maybe Safari....but I had no internet connection after about 3 or so yesterday afternoon. But, today, after much 'fiddling around' got Safari to connect to the internet! I really needed to get my Property Taxes paid...got that done this early morning..
    I went to Costco this morning. I wanted/thought I needed one of their cut fruit bowls, and peanut butter. Kirkland has the best peanut butter...just peanuts and salt...that's all...but it is soooo tasty and smells amazing!
    Need to catch up about 3 days worth of videos. Not tomorrow though, Ted's coming out to help with the verdant estate grounds....:)
    My foot is still sore...not sure what to make of it...may have to go see nerdy ole podiatrist again.
    Roger, I've had the original shingles vaccine. Marietta hurried to get her doses...and the first and the second, (six months later) had her on the couch with flu like symptoms. Talk it over with your Doc. I am going to wait a year or two to see if this is really as effective as they say it is....also, know that if you do get Shingles, either of the injections will help with recovery...AND the minute you suspect shingles...go to your Doc...they will give your immune system an bump, with a shot of IgG. It too, will lesson the disease...BUT, you have to get that early, wait and its too late.
    Ok, kitchen floor mopped, and I need to get to bed...Ted comes early (his day starts early...Maya sees to that.)
    Returning items to the kitchen, tossing others, etc. That's my afternoon plan...

    Later...

    Hi Ed
    It seems that Your weather is stuck in summer temperatures as I see it.

    Keeping milk on hand is why I buy the no refrigeration need quarts of milk from the Dollar Tree. They did change vendors and the new milk has a shorted shelf life but still a decent length. Some of the other products they sell as cheaper than the same product at the grocery store. Example Kraft Dinner for $1 and a higher price at the nearby grocery stores.
    I tried the Dollar Tree Pizza in the past, not that good.
    These would be great for Halloween!
    They might be tasty but they are creepy looking :smiley:
    ozjboah3s7k9.png
    I saved this one, Creative mind at work.
    I did make it to the grocery. And $148 later...I feel much better stocked in the kitchen. LOL.
    Someone spent more than a few dollars :wink:
    That is a lot more than I spend TBH. Unless we also count the NS foods cost.

    Super Coupons in the ShopRite Flyer, 1 pound of bacon and one pound of butter at $0.99 each. Whole Boneless Pork Loin for $0.99 a pound another great price. Low cost Hamburger which is a somewhat higher price per pound.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Valerie
    If I said that the first thing I do if I lose Internet is pull the power from the router and the modem for 10 to 15 seconds and that usually fixes things.

    I'm guessing that the shelf life for the CostCo Peanut Butter is shorter than commercial produced Peanut Butter.

    Since the foot is still bothering You a visit to the podiatrist sounds like a good plan to me.

    I shall have to look up what the symptoms of shingles are and side effects of the vaccine.

    We went through the Kitchen cabinets a few years back and got rid of a lot of never used pots and pans.

    Have a Nice Day

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 82 with an expected high of 87 and 20% chance of precipitation.

    Need to clean up yesterday's cat bowls and get out to the pet store to buy some cat food and kitten food. Seems I do that a lot with four felines in the house, eating two different kinds of canned food and three different kinds of kibble. LOL.

    Good afternoon.
    Just finished my first meal of the day...oops...no fruit yet. So, I'm ALMOST finished with the first meal of the day. Ted arrived 9:30, and he mowed, and decided to use the bagger...Since I've been the lawn guy, on one of his passes by the driveway where he was mowing along side...I noticed the lawn mower was throwing out some of the leaves, clippings...So While he was at the back of the property, I motioned for him to stop...I got a dirty look, but he killed the mower, and was a bit PO'd asking my why...told him the bag was full...and 'How do you know THAT'...cuz Ted its throwing out clippings...bet you $10 he shot back at me....now, we have these little 'bet ya's' usually for a buck or less, but I was SURE I was right, so I said 'your on' and he pulled the bag and sure enough that bag was full....WIN one for Mom. Nice change!! LOL! No, we never exchange cash...but it felt good none the less.

    Roger what is the normal shelf life on store bought peanut butter??? I just looked at my Kirkland Organic creamy Peanut butter...100% U.S. Valencia Peanuts. ..it expires 09-2019. I don't think that's so short, but then I haven't bought store brands of peanut butter in years because they all have sugar in them... So, you tell me...is 9-19 a short date? :) (not betting any money on this as I truly do not know...)

    That Mastiff wearing the wig like a lions mane, just cracked me up....I can see how it would startle the neighbors!!! Fooled me until I scrolled down far enough to read the last lines... LOL!!

    Ed reported the temp...its already 87 (feels like 91 here in Duluth) Duluth being one street away, and the weather station is not so far from me. Oh, and the Humidity.....48%..so its not comfortable out there!
    Also, Ed...the Queso Hash Brown ring looks delicious. You could half mash a can of beans and use that to replace the chorizo..especially if you added a couple of the usual chirizo spices...and I could make this with the 'Real Egg' replacer if I could FIND some in any grocery. :(...and my Follow My Heart cheeses.
    Or, just make it without the chorizo...there's already plenty of protein in it...so, some extra spices, could do it.

    Both my boys have suggested I paint my dark walnut stained cabinets white...like really??? No way. I also noticed NOBODY was saying 'I'll come help', either!!!! Antonio did a great job on the white tiles, I can't stop looking at them and grinning! Slowly am getting my things returned to the cabinet tops. Looking like 'my' kitchen again. :)

    I need to get my fruit to eat, and then get busy or take a nap..not sure which will happen next..........

    Later...

    Hi Ed
    It seems to have rained overnight from the condition of the roads, So I'm calling the chance of precipitation 100%.

    Buy in bulk maybe ?
    French Onion Rings?
    Maybe, I'll know more once I watch the video later.

    Hi Roger???? I usually get those "Hi Valerie" messages when I haven't posted....check again. I posted yesterday. (hint check at about 2:16 yesterday) :)

    Hi Ed. I only have one wild cat, and 2 varieties of kibble, and 3 flavors of treats, and a stash of canned food....cat eats every bit as well as I do....and I know your cats do also!!! Lucky little felines! :)

    I think cooler weather is coming to us by next weekend. I'd almost call it cold....night time lows in the 40's.??? YUCK.

    Not a fan of these stand alone reports of this and that. Not that I want you to stop posting them understand. But the doubting Thomas gene kicks in, and my brain begins to wonder who, why, and is it legit. etc. Just me....and how I think!! Wonder what prompted Harvard of all places to do such a study. Wonder if the coal, gas, oil, industries or shocker, our POTUS who had any influence in someone writing the article?

    I still haven't gotten over Kavanaugh being voted onto the Supreme Court. And then I see verifiable facts like Joe Manchin's daughter Heather being the CEO of the company who manufactures Epi-Pens..and increased the cost of them 400%. (remember that?) Manchin, a Democrat gone wrong........and an offspring who obviously takes after her father. :(

    I have a bit of work...lol...a LOT of work still getting things back into some order in my kitchen. Making sure that everything that goes back in there is needed, cleaned, ummmmmm here come the JW's again. gotta get out of the window...

    Later...

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 81 with an expected high of 86 and 0% chance of precipitation.

    I've been up for quite a while but distracted by all the usuals. Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and get to the pet store to buy cat foods. I do buy the canned food for the girls in "bulk" as in pre-mixed boxes of 30 at a time so one box lasts 30 days, as they share one can each day. This doesn't really save much though, as the price per can is only a penny or three less. The canned food for Oliver I don't buy in bulk as there is no savings and it doesn't come in a multipack, unless I buy a whole double flat, but the price per can would still be the same. So I usually just buy a few cans at a time. At least if he gets tired of a type, I can change it up the next time

    I don't really have room to buy kibble in larger bags, though that would realize some savings. Oliver is the only one eating kitten kibble, and only through February, or through the finish of his last bag, which may well go a bit past February, but it will be AT LEAST through February. I don't think his food comes in great big bags anyway, and I wouldn't buy one because no matter how well I try to seal it, it would go stale and as I said, I don't really have the room. So he gets whatever reasonable size bag of kitten kibble I see in his brand.

    The young girls did get one giant bag once, but I didn't like how I had to cram it into their storage space and it did seem to get a bit stale before they got all the way through it so I buy them the small or medium sized bags, depending on whether one is on sale to have a better price per ounce.

    Lilo, the old queen, gets hers in small or medium bags too. As she's the only one eating it, and she doesn't eat all that much of it, I don't want hers going stale either. And, while not pleasant to ponder, don't want to have a large quantity left if she moves on across the rainbow bridge...which, of course, she will, eventually, as will we all.
