Chili is cooking in TWO crock pots. My beefy chili (with just a little bit of wine - Eduardo insisted) in the green one and I made some vegan chili to cook in the smaller, off-white one, for J. It won't be vegan when eaten, as it will have cheese added at that point.
I think we will be using chili as spaghetti gravy tonight, with cheddar, or Mexican blend cheese for topping.

Chili spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread sticks.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's a bit warmer today and we are expecting a glorious, beautiful fall day.
Breakfast was a grilled cheese sandwich made with savory French toast.
Not a lot on the agenda today, but do kind of need to sweep some floors and may do that.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! It is a balmy 37 degrees out there now, with an expected sunny high of 55.
We have already moved most of the plants that need it into the garage for the winter, but do still have a few, that can take cold (but not frozen) weather still out there. I need to rearrange a few things to get ready for them, so guess what today's task is?

To keep busy, I broke down some excess carboard boxes in the garage. There are more, but the recycle bin has enough for this week. I can break down some more and stack them, though, to be ready for the recycle bin. This is all part of getting the garage ready for the bigger plants.
And I went virtual shopping and am awaiting grocery delivery from Kroger.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I early voted, so won't need to stand in line today. I may take a peek up the street though, just to see how bad it looks. And I need to get to PetSmart anyway, to get cat food and my usual route goes right past the school where we vote.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
It should be cool and clear today. I may do some house cleaning if my right hip will allow that. Chicken and noodles for my supper last night, heavy on the chicken, and plenty of leftovers.

Well I haven't gotten to any house cleaning as yet, but did just finish putting away a largish order delivered from Kroger. I think I could get used to this delivery thing! I have a smaller order from Amazon Fresh coming later.
Oddly, I found that, though as best I can tell, Amazon Fresh actually comes from Whole Foods, there is a separate basket for orders specifically from Whole Foods, and to get free delivery on either one, (since we do pay yearly for Amazon Prime) the order has to be over $35. PER CART on the Amazon Fresh order, and separately on the Whole Foods order as they don't combine the carts.
Weird. If it all comes from Whole Foods, you would think it would all be one cart, but maybe they keep the Amazon Fresh stuff in a back room or something...
I had started building an order and noticed that I had three carts open. The regular Amazon cart, a Whole Foods cart, and the Amazon Fresh cart.
I deleted all the items from the Whole foods cart and found suitable items by searching specifically only under Amazon Fresh (instead of ALL) and the one item I couldn't get from there is a prime item with free delivery regardless with our prime account.
So...unless Kroger charges me $4.95 for my delivery, all the delivery was free. It did include a $5.00 tip for the Amazon Fresh driver, but Kroger doesn't allow their employees to take tips as best I can tell. Kroger might charge me for the delivery, as the order I placed was over $80, which gets free delivery, but they happened to be out of a number of items (including two kinds of bacon???) and I believe the subsequent total ended up under $80.
BUT, I don't mind paying a reasonable fee for delivery, and $4.95 is certainly reasonable.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It looks like it will be another beautiful, sunny fall day today. I got all of yesterday's groceries put away. There is, of course. the perpetual LIST that never seems to stay empty long.
I could really get used to this delivery thing. It was nice to get my groceries delivered right to the door, just like in olden days in small town America. Kroger did NOT, apparently, charge me any delivery fee for yesterday's order, I guess since my initial order was well over $80 and it wasn't my fault that they were out of several items.
Still need to get to some house cleaning. I did just put out some roach tablets in a few places in the kitchen that are inaccessible to the cats, and not close to food.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! A little warmer today, and expected to be partly cloudy with a slight chance of rain during the evening and overnight.
I got the most of the rest of the accumulated cardboard boxes collapsed and put in the recycle bin, leaving a little room for other recycles, and leaving a few really nice boxes for use in packing up the former roommate's stuff that should have been long gone to Kentucky, but is still cluttering up the room that we made into J's office because travel hasn't really been feasible.
Supper last night was cheesy dirty rice with chili beans, and without any meat. It was relatively easy, and filling. This morning I emptied the dishwasher that ran overnight. Today I may actually have run out of things to do to avoid house cleaning. Maybe.

Yesterday evening while on our chat I told 'son 1'..Jack, that I will not be joining them for T-Day. He said he never really thought that I would, knowing how careful I have been to date about avoiding groups, wearing masks, distancing, etc. I was very relieved that he wasn't going to try pushing a 'guilt trip'. So, let my personal T-day feast plans begin!!! I may make grilled cheese...it has a historic place in my families turkey day! We, and about 4 other families from the Scuba Dive Club would head to N. Carolina for a long weekend! Fresh sea food, everybody did their own thing, with a 'last nite group dinner'...The divers brought offerings of fish they harpooned, crabs they caught, oysters, etc and one guy was a basement wine maker, and so he always contributed some really nice home brewed wine!
But, we never got to the beach until dinner time...and it was easiest, something that EVERYONE would eat, etc...and Grilled cheese won every year! So we'll see about what happens this year!
Later...
Just about all of my Thanksgiving is already out in the garage, in the deep freeze. The stuffing/dressing is in the cupboard, waiting to be mixed up, but the precooked turkey breast, ham, pies, and whipped topping are all in the freezer. Broccoli, for the broccoli cheese casserole, is in there too. My main thing is remembering to get all of this stuff out by the Tuesday before so it has a couple of days to thaw in the refrigerator!
I am hoping for the presidential election to be decided tonight (Friday) but there's still a possibility it may go on for longer. We will see. At least it is currently looking very good for my candidate!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It's pretty warm out there, and supposed to stay that way, with some chance of rain today. I may do some of that house cleaning today, and we probably need to get the last of the plants moved into the garage before it gets cold again.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It looks like it may be another warm, overcast day, with a slight chance of rain. I am pretty much ready for Thanksgiving here. I have too much food, but it will all eventually be eaten. Dinner last night was salad and a vegetable gratin and breakfast today was a meat lover's breakfast bowl from the freezer.
Not a lot of definite stuff on the agenda for today. I have already given Lilo her Monday morning subdermal fluid treatment. It went well. I wish, sometimes, that J was more comfortable with medical procedures involving needles, but fully understand why that's not the case. To be fair, the needles I use for her fluid treatments are the big, scary looking, about 3/4 inch long 18 gauge needles reminiscent of those used for donating blood.
I should probably at least check into whether I might need to start some laundry.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It is going to be another warm, overcast day here, with a good chance of afternoon, evening, and overnight showers as the warmth sticks around.
Nothing critical on the agenda today. I think my joints are feeling the upcoming rain chance. I have given Lilo her Tuesday morning shot to help with her arthritis.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful wet Wednesday! It should be hot and rainy today.
I have to call an oral surgeon and set up an appointment for an extraction. My dentist cannot see anything wrong with the tooth in question, but it hurts, especially when pressed and she thinks either the root is infected or there is a partial break inside where she can't see it. If I go to an endodontist first, and they determine that it's broken inside, then I would still have to go to an oral surgeon for extraction, and I decided to just eliminate the middle man. It's the second bicuspid on the upper right so removal shouldn't affect how photogenic I am.
For the moment I am on an antibiotic, which does seem to already be helping, and a strong pain pill. But I can't take the strong pill and drive so am saving it for evenings, unless I know I will be home all day. It is tramadol, one of the synthetic codeine derivatives. I can't take codeine because of an allergic reaction but CAN take hydrocodone, which is also a synthetic codeine derivative.
As I had never taken tramadol before, I gave it a trial run last night. It definitely makes me fuzzy and a bit wobbly, but, so far, not the horridly sick allergic reaction I get with codeine. Hopefully I can get in with the oral surgeon before I run out of antibiotic. The dentist gave me 10 days worth, and today is day number 2.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's another unseasonably warm day here. My main thing today is visiting the oral surgeon.
At yesterday's consultation, he agreed with the dentist that there is a very strong likelihood the tooth is broken, inside, allowing easy infection and causing the issue. I think we can do this with just a local, but he wants to be prepared for full anesthesia if needed, so J intends to come with me. The antibiotic is working well, and the pain is minimal this morning, so I feel good about trying with a local.
All the same, nothing to eat until after the procedure. And I can only rinse my mouth to moisten, not actually drink anything.

I was in and out in less than half an hour this morning with the oral surgeon. The antibiotic had knocked the infection back enough that the local anesthetic was quite sufficient. He had no difficulty with the extraction. I am still waiting on the anesthetic to completely wear off. J was pleased that the wait in the car was short.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It's a little cooler today, but should still be a very nice day, clear and sunny. Supper last night was cheesy mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs. For J it was salad and scrambled eggs.
Today is going to be mostly rest and recovery. I am about to start making something soft for breakfast.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It will be cool again today, sunny and pleasant. Perhaps light jacket weather in this early morning time, and late tonight.
Not a lot on the agenda today. I dozed a lot yesterday and may do some more of that today. In lieu of my Friday night pizza, I had a very carefully chewed pasta bake, and some very carefully chewed stuffed cheesy bread. J actually had pizza and most of the cheesy bread. I was jealous. LOL. We did each have a slice of pumpkin roll for dessert. I felt I had earned that treat this week!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! We are in a cooling trend today, with partly cloudy skies, expecting a high in the mid to upper 60s. There is a 40% chance of rain. I need to finally get started on the laundry.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! And it's, again, a bit cooler this morning as this cooling trend continues. The laundry is clean and waiting in the dryer, to be folded and put away. It should be a beautiful, clear day. I don't need to go anywhere, as I had groceries delivered yesterday, and there is nothing on my "need to pick for myself" list. I went to Ingles last week for that, and peeked at the "used meat" section while I was there, picking up a few bargains.
I have a pound of 85/15 ground beef thawing in the refrigerator, and hope Eduardo doesn't get too frisky with ideas for that, since I am still being very careful about my food. I am thinking perhaps chili or meatloaf would be good, and not too difficult to eat while I favor the right side of my mouth still.
I need to get that laundry folded and put away.

Well, GardenKat, I just found that you passed on last Friday, due to a car accident. I am sure that you are in heaven now.0
