They may stop serving this "fan favorite" drink at McDonalds, but since I don't eat there, I won't miss it. But then I never had it.
I can't remember how long it's been since I set foot in one but it's been at least in the neighborhood of 5 years or more. I remember eating at one on a road trip when I was sometimes traveling back and forth between Memphis and Atlanta, but only because it happened to be part of the highway gas station/rest stop area and was convenient. The food was all right, but then I was hungry so wasn't feeling too picky.

Hi
I was out walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 55 on the porch and 58 on the cable channel. It was raining when I left the house, On the return leg of the walk the rain ceased and the wind started blowing and picked up as time went by.

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Well, the party went well. Before the party, though, we were busy in the afternoon and I didn't have time to make anything. There was still plenty of food and I brought home food even though I didn't take any to the party. I got the ham bone and the remaining sliced ham as the host didn't want it. I successfully pawned off the half pecan pie that was left onto another party goer so that it wouldn't tempt me to bring it home. Yes, we were helping with clean up. LOL.
I'll freeze the ham chunks and bone for a pot of black eyed peas for new year. I'll freeze the slices too but some may come out to supplement Thanksgiving with the rest staying for other meals.
We were too busy for me to make anything because we were interviewing (and being interviewed by) young kittens/cats and then filling out adoption papers for this lovely young queen. She is quite small and was very undernourished when they got her but is looking quite good now, and her kittens also looked fine. Someone else will hopefully be adopting the kittens soon, but we think the queen (mother cat) will be a good playmate for Kiara and may take some of the stress off of Lilo. She'll be spayed Monday and we will probably be bringing her home sometime next week.
We are probably going to name her Dinah.
When we have Ham Bones we use them to make Split Pea soup or Bean soup
I have a 8" Pecan Pie in the freezer that came for free with the Fruit & nut order from Nuts.com due to the $ amount of the order. The Fruit cakes take a lot of different fruits and some nuts. We baked some yesterday, 1 Large and three small. There will be more to be baked in the future too. They are baked early since they have to get sprayed periodically with Brandy before use and Rum is used in the recipe
Good Luck with Your acquisition of the cat.
The fried Honey Baked Ham sounds delicious, that is my favorite type of Ham.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 44 out there now with an expected high of 51 and 0% chance of rain. It didn't get as cold overnight as expected but is now expected to get even colder tonight with an expected low of 29. I am NOT dreaming of a white Thanksgiving but one never knows, do one?
Actually I haven't looked that far into the forecast. I generally do just a day or two at a time.
Breakfast this morning was fried leftover HoneyBaked ham from last night's party, along with some toasted 40 cal/slice whole wheat bread with light butter (50% LESS FAT) and two scrambled eggs, scrambled after the ham.
It was nice for a change to not be bringing any food to the party and, also for a change, to have some food to bring home from the party that I actually wanted to bring home. I froze the bulk of the leftover ham but there is a small plate of slices in the refrigerator to nibble on for the next couple of days, so I think I can predict, probably, my next two breakfasts. Fried ham with eggs is a favorite breakfast but one I don't have very often
Sink has been cleared. The two current cats will be fed when I finish this second mug of tea. Laundry later.
Probably hardware store too as one of J's plant lights burned out in a rather smelly fashion this morning and as all four bulbs went out when it sizzled, I think the unit itself is probably fried. It went while I was enjoying my breakfast and some of the aroma accompanied the second half of breakfast but that really didn't lessen my enjoyment of the tasty food. I did flip the switch on the unit to OFF as well, but don't really think it would have mattered.
It does sound as if the Ballast went bad. I have a suspicion that the newer electronic types are less durable than the older types even if they do use less electricity.
It can not hurt to play safe on anything like that by removing the power. I'm guessing that it is a plug in type rather than being hardwired.
Have a Good Day

And this is abnormal...how? Seems to me the holiday season has been over-commercialized for many years and this is definitely not the first year that people are still paying for the prior year's spending. I suppose it's possible it's worse than ever before...but suspect not.Ihttps://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2017/11/14/Crash-covers-Indiana-highway-in-K-Cup-coffee-pods/3521510674195/?st_rec=3321510931531

School principal targeted in Blackstone car bombing
By Emily Sweeney Globe Staff November 17, 2017
Interesting that the headline says the school principal was targeted...but the article clearly states that the bomb was in the vehicle belonging to his son, who lives next door. I guess they felt they'd get more interest if the headline indicated the principal, rather than the son, even though the bombing may well have had nothing at all do with the principal and was probably directed at the son, for some reason having nothing to do with his father.

Lunch today was a bit late as it took longer than I had planned for. I didn't plan in for the time it took to make the mole sauce being so long. The paste (from a jar) did not want to dissolve in the vegetable broth and then still had to get it just to a boil and let it sit, on low, for a few minutes. Of course those few minutes were used to assemble the stuff to have with the mole sauce, but then I had to bake it all for 20 to 25 minutes.
Finally, late lunch was cheese enchiladas mole. A bit of bitterness to the mole but I was pleased with it, overall. I used regular pepper jack AND habanero jack cheese for the filling and sprinkled a shredded Mexican cheese blend on top.
It was quite a bit more filling than I thought it would be too, and we both felt stuffed, but satisfied.
Eduardo did well for lunch.

Hi! It's me here!
That's about as good as it gets today! Very late going to bed, very late getting up this morning, fighting the 'tired' factor for hours now.
Found the culprit...and I'm part of the problem...what I thought I bought last time I bought Keurig Pods was decaf...I discovered late last night was NOT decaf...no wonder I'm keeping weird hours. And I don't have any real decaf tucked away anywhere...
Got my first week of reading aloud done...only 51 more weeks to go...
Just been setting a timer and forcing my self to do odd jobs....I know I'll appreciate the jobs done tomorrow, but for right now....not so much.
I don't go to McDonalds so I'm not going to miss the orangey drink either Ed!
Just hanging on til tomorrow....and my new ears...
I rather liked the 'pie chart'...I may have to go buy a pumpkin pie, as I'm pretty sure they'll be making apple again this year???? I do not understand that at all, but.....
Later...

Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 30 out there right now with an expected high of 59 and 0% chance of rain.
New cat is having her surgery today. We hope all goes well with that. We could have tried to arrange picking her up today but opted to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday. When she gets home and all seems well, we'll be announcing her name. Yes, it's a Disney name.

If I said I did not do good Yesterday with food, Would You believe me ?
I had Some Beef Broccoli and Sesame Chicken for lunch and Two Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches with the Bread having been Buttered first. OTOH I have not had a PB & B for quite a while and it was really Tasty
Today's high is forecast to be lower than yesterday in the 40s and then they are predicting the upper 50s for Tuesday and one of the days does show a chance of showers in the morning.parityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all.

Since I only have Coffee when walking, I do use Regular or a mix with 50% being decaf when I stop at 7-Eleven or the Quick Chek as they are self serve for my refills. Too much trouble if to arrange if I go to Dunkin Donuts as I hate to be a pest. I use exact change for the refills, It speeds the check out as they know me and I just drop it in their hand a out the door
FWIW Apple is also a traditional pie for the holidays as well as being a year round favorite. The Local ShopRite has Pumpkin Pies on sale for $3.99 and I am sure that CostCo has larger ones available that may or may not taste better. My Brother would have a Fit if I picked up pies when he can bake them and spice the Pumpkin Pie to his taste, Spicier than store bought. He will also be making Whipped Cream to go with the Pies, No store bought for him whereas I am fine with Reddi Whip low fat, Regular or Extra Creamy versions. Color me easy to please.
I liked the Pie Chart and it has the ring of truth too
Have a Nice Day
