Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 51 degrees and comfortable due to the low temperature.
While I was out I saw one deer leaving a side street on the outbound and then on the homeward leg I saw four more heading back to where they spend the daytime. To many deer around, We need to come up with a way to fence off the driveway that is easily moved out of the way.

35 state attorneys general tell FCC to pull the plug on robocalls.
Last year, the FCC released the 2017 Call Blocking Order, which included rules allowing providers to block spoofed calls – as in, calls that pretend to come from consumers’ phones or, even more sneaky, from neighbors’ phones, with area codes that mirror their targets’ area codes. The order allowed providers to block calls from numbers on do-not-originate lists and from numbers that are invalid, unallocated, or unused.
But despite the Call Blocking Order, the robocall problem is only getting worse.

Got the whites and towels washed yesterday, but they haven't been folded yet. Still in the dryer. But it's a start! LOL!
Need to feed the cats and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. And maybe get the laundry folded. And maybe do the other part of the laundry. Lot of maybes.
Are You planning to run the dryer for a couple of minutes to warm up the Whites and Towels ?
Good Luck getting the rest of the laundry done.

I would have expected the oil change place to mention if the oil level was low and that You had a leak, Nothing from them ? I know our local repair place that does all servicing needed would mention it, they also check belts hoses and brake linings as well as the Air filter.
Well, it was mentioned once, that the oil was "a little low" before the oil change, but not as if it was low enough to be a problem... But in subsequent oil changes, there was no mention. The issue with the dinging, etc, had been going on a LONG time...
I generally use frozen vegetables of all sorts, preferring them to canned. Fresh is even better, when you can get it, but I'm not shelling green peas, thank you.TBH I would likely have put the peas into the Potatoes, and I would use Frozen Peas, not those pale imitation canned peas. Shredded or diced small Fresh carrots into the Potatoes too. I've never heard of using an egg in it. I would also use Ground Beef, Not Lamb not being a lamb eater. The wildest thing I ever ate was Roast Tongue in a Raisin Sauce at a friends house.
My shepherd's pie uses frozen peas and carrots. Kroger makes them and they are just like what you remember from childhood. Little, pea sized, carrot dice with the peas.
As a child I loved canned, small green peas, and still find them acceptable on occasion, and my mother home canned green beans. As an adult, I prefer frozen but do find canned acceptable for green beans and for corn. Most other vegetables are rather awful canned, other than the various other beans, of course, and even then I'd just as soon have dried, soaked beans rather than canned, but the canned beans are SO convenient and the taste and texture are fine from a can, usually.
It is a pain in the neck shelling Green Peas, and TBH I suspect that the frozen ones would be much closer to the field than what You get when You buy them at a Produce Store or Grocery Store.
My Grandparents Canned lots of Fruit and Vegetables from their garden and even made Ketchup.
If needed right away canned beans are the only real option.
I have had canned Collards and Mustard greens, They were OK and we got the cans for free so the price was right.In a pinch I will eat greens from a can but it has to be a pretty good pinch. Green are SO MUCH BETTER made from fresh or even frozen.
Canned potatoes and canned carrots are almost abominations and should have been listed in Leviticus as such.
My brother has been known to use canned Potatoes when they can be bought on sale
I like Crispy fried Spam, Canned Ham is OK, Canned Corned Beef is so so. Not a fan of Canned Corned beef hash, My brother OTOH...Oddly, despite canned meats often being almost unrecognizable as meat, I really like some of them. Spam, and other similar products, canned ham (think Dak and other similar canned hams, of various sizes), canned corned beef or even corned beef hash, canned tuna, chicken, and ham chunks. And of course the more appalling canned goods such as dried beef, Vienna sausages, potted meat, deviled ham, etc.
I am not crazy about canned chicken spread, but have found that canned, shredded pork is surprisingly decent, and have even eaten canned, sliced, roast beef with gravy and found it to be OK in a pinch. Wouldn't want the pork or beef on a regular basis but wouldn't turn my nose up either if someone gave me either one to eat.
And, of course, canned chili, stew, or soup can be quite nice and very convenient. Sometimes it needs a lot of help though.
I do use the canned Chicken or Turkey Breast from CostCo to make a Chicken/Turkey Salad.
I think I prefer the Homemade Chili or the Chili from Wendy's.
Bacon !parityanimal wrote: »Breakfast this morning was savoury French toasted grilled cheese, with bacon on the side.
This is made by making regular French toast, with no cinnamon or sugar in the egg/milk mixture and none on the toast, though I suppose a little cinnamon alone wouldn't hurt, and, after flipping to the second side of each piece, lay cheese on top and then turn it into a sandwich with a final flip of one piece, when the second side is done.
No extra butter, or syrup on these, just a little salt and pepper. I used the 35 calorie per slice, high fiber, low carb, whole wheat bread for this.
The bacon was made in the microwave.
It was a very satisfying and filling breakfast.
I like Grilled Cheese with bacon on the inside. Have You though about baking the Bacon so it is ready to use ? I tend to buy the Pre Cooked and keep it in the freezer until I want to use it.
I have seen sandwiches like that on cooking shows. Low Calorie, Low Carb and High Fiber, Who makes that, the best I have seen around here is 40 calorie per slice and so so semi low carbs. I'm guessing that the Bacon was wrapped and not super crispy.

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 66 with an expected high of 77 and 20% chance of precipitation.
Hi Ed

Yes, I always give it a quick warm up before taking the laundry out to fold.

I have used the canned chicken or turkey breast to make salad, or even to make a really quick soup. I definitely prefer home made chili, when I have time to make it but find canned chili, in general, to be quite acceptable.
I have, in the past, kept cooked bacon, ready to use, but really prefer it fresh. It doesn't take that long to microwave it so time isn't usually an issue, and of course I often buy the pre-cooked, ready to eat bacon too, though lately I haven't been buying that as it's a bit pricier and I haven't been to Costco recently. I really like their pre-cooked bacon and the price is not bad at all. Also, it's a bigger package and lasts quite a while!
My low carb, high fiber bread is from Aldi. I used to get a similar one from Kroger (Healthy Life Bread) but it started getting hard to find. Healthy Life Bread also has a 40 calorie one. I forget exactly what the other differences are on that one, maybe white wheat? I would sometimes buy the 40 calorie one when I couldn't get the 35 calorie one, but sometimes there just wasn't any Healthy Life bread at all. I liked it a little bit better than the Aldi Fit & Active bread, but the Aldi bread is just about as tasty to me and is actually a bit cheaper. It will do.
I have had one meal from the shepherd's pie and have three meals left in it.
Speaking of meals...I need to get breakfast for me! And feed the cats. And clean yesterday's cat bowls. And fold that laundry that is still in the dryer. And maybe get out to a grocery for a few items. LOL.

To avoid the extra wear and tear on the dryer I tend to be close enough to know when it has shut off and that is when I pull the dried clothes and fold them.
Interesting that You like the CostCo Pre Cooked Bacon when I tried it I found it to be so so, I had it in the past and it was OK then, either my Tastes have changed or the Bacon has changed.
There is a Aldi nearby, probably a 10 to 20 minute drive from here. Sooner of later I shall have to visit it. I just hate having to drive through a large industrial area to get to it.

How does being behind make You the bad guy. Still no diagnosis as to why the foot is paining You.
I stole one of my brothers smallest bananas, The Smiley is since he always says help Yourself so I took him up on it. Why? because I had a smallish cramp in the leg the other day and I figured that with the banana and the Vitamin and Mineral supplements that should take care of it for a while.
Good Luck with the shopping

Hi! Its still 11-17-2018...but time is ticking!
Did I tell you they finally paved my street? Yep, a week ago Friday, and the other streets the following few days...kind of interesting cuz I don't think its quite done...there 'were' 3 man hole covers on my street...not any more...none...like zip, nadda, nope. I hope they plan to come back and cut away the asphalt. ??? time will tell.
Its a bit 'nippy' out there tonite. Not quite NJ nippy, but 69 degrees compared to where we were last week...yep, GA nippy! Tom keeps coming to the door wanting in. First couple of times I let him in, and gave him more treats...but then he didn't want to go back out...so. No cat ever froze at 69 degrees. It will go to 51 at least that's the predicted low...I'll ask Tom E in the morning.
So, am I the only one who's eaten the 'good' part of a piece of bread? At our house growing up, if the blackberry jelly that Mom made was moldy under the parafin seal, it got scooped out with a spoon, and we ate the rest of it! I ate moldy bread one sleepy day, thought the PB&J had a somewhat 'off taste', ate it went right back to sleep. When I got up to go to work that night, and turned on the light, I had 'fancy' bread. Didn't hurt me...Maybe I was just lucky?...
Roger I agree, you all have way too many deer. I have no solution...Is your property fenced? You mentioned needing an easy access gate...or do I need to go back and read again?
Foot is a bit better...will call Doc's office tomorrow, or maybe just stop in...as I have only ONE can of Tom E Cat food. Today I did not go anywhere, and limited walking even in the house...so I suppose that is why my foot is a bit better...
I grow fall crocus...those are the ones that you get Saffron from. Don't have enough to amount to much...maybe on pot of slightly yellow rice...but hey...I got saffron growing here!

I do not recollect You mentioning the paving. In general what I have observed is that they put spacers to raise the surface of the manhole cover back to street level. Maybe the City is abandoning those manhole cover openings ?
From what the weather forecast I watched last night said much of the Country down to the Gulf of Mexico is cold for a few days.
Maybe Your cat is feeling the cold more as it gets older ?
I know I have eaten the non moldy slices after throwing away the moldy slices, I usually have enough bread that losing a slice or two is no biggy. I did suspect that it might be less than tasty to eat. Nowadays what I do is take 1/2 of a new loaf of bread and freeze that 1/2 and leave the other half out to use.So, am I the only one who's eaten the 'good' part of a piece of bread? At our house growing up, if the blackberry jelly that Mom made was moldy under the parafin seal, it got scooped out with a spoon, and we ate the rest of it!

Roger I agree, you all have way too many deer. I have no solution...Is your property fenced? You mentioned needing an easy access gate...or do I need to go back and read again?
I have Cut off the mold and eat the cheese too.
Since jelly is not filled with ways for mold to spread through the jar of jelly so I would likely do what Your mom did.
The Back Yard is surrounded on three sides by neighbors fences. What I am thinking is that maybe a gate on wheels that can be rolled out of the way when we need full access to the back yard.No need to go back and look

I did not realize that Crocus had a fall blooming flower too. I had thought that they got Saffron from the ones that bloom in the early spring. Saffron is bit high priced for out use here. I suspect that the yellow colored rice from Chinese Take Out is colored by food coloring.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 52 with an expected high of 71 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to feed the cats (and me) and clean up yesterday's cat bowls.
I did get out to Aldi yesterday, and got most of what I needed. I forgot to look for family size tea bags, and not sure if Aldi even has that sort of thing, but I bet they do. It's a fairly popular item and that's what they shoot for. Fairly popular items.
But that's not critical so no big deal.
I even found ghee (clarified butter) at Aldi, and was surprised. I hope they continue to carry that as the price was really excellent and I use a lot of ghee. It has become a lot more mainstream than it used to be. I used to have to go to the farmer's market or any large Asian store to find that.
And I got paper towels (one of the critical items) as well as a non-critical (but getting there) carton of milk, along with some other items, some critical, most not. I bought a stand mixer for $59. Not a great mixer. Looks wise it pretends to be a Kitchen Aid, but I doubt it's as powerful. Still, it should do me for my purposes. It came with a regular mixer, whisk, and dough hook. It says to run it no longer than six minutes continuously and then let it cool off for 15 minutes before running again so making any dough that needs a longer kneading will have to be done in stages or in my bread maker machine. Or by hand. Might be good exercise to get out any frustrations.
They also had some wooden handled silicone spatulas, spoons, and a pastry/sauce brush, and some nice cooling racks, which I bought. I used the mixer and a spatula to make that chocolate cake mix we had sitting in the cabinet for so long that J had wanted to make cookies with but he had never gotten around to it. So we have dessert for a few days. Dinner was very light last night, so I was able to guiltlessly enjoy a slice of cake.
