Whoo! I had to go to Walgreens and ask them to expedite my prescription, since I got email that they were "working on it" but not that it was ready, and I wanted to pick it up before the deluge this afternoon!
While they were getting it ready I browsed the vitamins and all the supplements I happened to have on the list were BOGO so I replenished those and have plenty to last for a while, and picked up some 24 hour allergy pills to have on hand. Not having much difficulty with that right now but then we are past the worst of the Summer so maybe I can give those a rest until Spring. All the same, they are now handy IF I NEED THEM.
Then on across the street (and down just a teensy bit, maybe 1/8 of a mile) to PetSmart where I got kibble for the younger girls and some more canned kitten food for Oliver.
And then around the corner of that shopping center to Publix where I got a few groceries and picked up a frozen General Tso's Tofu for J's lunch and a cup of chili for my lunch, along with a small bag of plain tortilla chips to crumble up into it, both from the self serve hot bar at the deli. Came home, put everything away, microwaved J's lunch, and gave it to him.
Then I put my chili into a better dish (presentation IS important) to microwave it for a minute to warm it up as it had cooled a bit in the interval, sprinkled some shredded Mexican blend cheese on, and crushed up the small bag of tortilla chips to top it all off, in lieu of crackers.
The chili from the hot bar was OK. Not as thick and meaty as I usually make it and they used red kidney beans, which are most definitely NOT my preferred bean.
But the biggest plus was that I didn't have to make lunch for either of us so that won out over the kidney beans. I did notice the beans before I even put any chili into the carryout cup, as they are distinctly larger than the beans I prefer to use in chili.
And I did get home well before the anticipated afternoon rain.0 -

Hi

It was Nice outside until I had to put on the rain gear that blocked the nice breeze.

60/16 with an expected high of 69/21 and 90% chance of precipitation. I do kind of need to get out to Walgreens at least so will probably make that run, and possibly on across the street from there, to Petsmart for some cat food. Not quite at critical, but close on Oliver's canned kitten food.
Need to clean yesterday's cat bowls and possibly also do a little light housework. Been trying to do a little each day, so it doesn't seem so tedious, like when I try to do a lot, or all of it, in one day.
Out rain started on time as per last nights forecast unfortunately. Today looks like it may be a busy day.

I am somewhat curious if freezing changes the Tofu texture ?And then around the corner of that shopping center to Publix where I got a few groceries and picked up a frozen General Tso's Tofu for J's lunch and a cup of chili for my lunch, along with a small bag of plain tortilla chips to crumble up into it, both from the self serve hot bar at the deli.

I have had Chili from Bishops Grocery Store that was really meaty and tasty with not to many beans. When I did that I picked up the packets of Crackers to crumble into it. I found it slightly hot for my taste. I should have looked for some shredded cheese to top the Chili on it from the Cold Salad Bar Area. When they have it their Pea Soup is also real tasty. Their Hot foods come from a section that a worker serves. They have really crispy chicken, Mac & Cheese,Cheeseburgers and more. BTW Mom always used Kidney Beans so they would not have bothered me.
The Egg Peeling video did not make me want to go out and buy them or try the Bottle hack, BTW when did things like that become a hack ?
Have a Good Day

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Good Morning! Not even 8 o'clock and I'm here reading!
I did watch the egg peeling vid. Sorry, I did have to sorta chuckle. Most of those, had they peeled them under running water at the sink, would have come out much better. Now, the question is why, since I don't eat eggs would I watch that? Answer is...I dunno!! It was early and I didn't know what I was doing? Yeah, thats it!
Ted and I got the yard work done yesterday, and it looks great! But of course, the real work is yet to come! I'm just sitting here smiling. He has NO idea what's to come...
And...I have been notified twice now that Ed is posting... HI ED!
Today is a rain day. Starting about noon. So, I have one or two small things that I'd like to do outside, and then it will become a 'cleaning day'..Dining room, as well as the usual kitchen, etc.
Cleaning day is not my favorite type of day. I usually do not Peel under running water either, OTOH since I only peel them one at a time when I make Egg Salad.
Reeses Cups ? I love them, They do not like my weight OTOH.I never did find that darned candy...Somewhere in this house, I still believe in a drawer, is a nice bag of Peanut Butter Cups. There are a few of the Kit Kats left from last night. I had fun...the kids were all very polite, and expressed their thanks...I didn't recognize a single one of them! So they either walked here from other streets in the neighborhood, or were dropped off! Either way it was fun for me, and very frightening for poor ole Tom E Cat.
He was going to be allowed into the front room, and I'd put one of his blankets into a box, and was trying to convince him to settle in the box...when the door bell rang. Forgetting he wasn't a dog for a few fateful seconds, he made a mad dash ahead of me to the door, which was open, and so the glass storm door revealed a whole porch full of 'STRANGERS', I swear, that cat looked like RoadRunner about to take off. Those little paws went at warp speed before the body finally moved!!! LOL!!!! I gave the kids their candy, and then went looking for Tom...he was trying to hide behind the coffee table...and was peeking around the back leg...and he didn't come out, until I closed up the house either. It was a major Freak Out!! Poor old cat.
Our Trick or Treaters were polite too. Our block does not have many kids, the ones we get walk in from the surrounding area.
Poor Cat.
Not my favorite thing driving in the rain even by day, by night Yuck !So, that's about it for the day...work...outside and inside. If its storming and such like they said, I will not be trying to go to O's gymnastics. Driving at night on a dry night, is very different than driving at night when its wet, and every thing is reflective, and wipers are flapping around. I'll miss a practice, and may very well save a life or two in the process.
OH, new grocery find...Publix, (surprise) Reishi Tea with ginger and Turmeric. Made a cup of it last night, tasty! Probably not something I'd drink exclusively, but a nice caffeine free hot drink.
Roger, this is for you! (The lingzhi mushroom is a polypore mushroom belonging to the genus Ganoderma. Its red-varnished, kidney-shaped cap gives it a distinct appearance. When fresh, the lingzhi is soft, cork-like, and flat. It lacks gills on its underside, and instead releases its spores via fine pores. Depending on the age of the mushroom, the pores on its underside may be white or brown. Lingzhi mushroom is used in traditional Chinese medicine.) , you're welcome!
Hope everyone has a great day....time to go read Ed's post(s)
Later...
Ginger and Tumeric in tea, I think I will pass.
I watched a Episode of Japanese Iron Chef, way different than the American, They mostly replaced the dialogue with translators voices and a few subtitles. What Brought that to mind was that it was Battle Mushrooms
This morning is not forecast to be too bad, then a break mid day followed by heavy rain with thunderstorms tonight into some point Saturday Morning.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Ok Ed...gonna rename you 'Sneaky Pete'!!! Yes, reload and there your post was...its Magic!!!

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! 60/16 with an expected high of 59/15(?) which is lower than now so shouldn't 50/16 be the expected high for the day? Oh well, 70% chance of morning precipitation. Of course it's morning precipitation since I have an ophthalmologist appointment this MORNING. Can't be helped.
I did not have to sign for the 24 hour allergy pills. Just Allegra type.
Freezing does change the texture of the tofu, making it actually more "meaty" which can be very good if it's not TOO "meaty" because then J doesn't care so much for it.
A cheese free, "regular" pizza can certainly be vegan as long as there is no animal fat in the crust and all vegan toppings, sauces and sprinkles. Most pizza places offer the option of no cheese if that's what the customer wants.
But then some people just don't eat cheese anyway and might want no cheese on their (otherwise) deluxe or all-the-meats pizza I suppose.
I'd think that most veggie pizzas would be vegan as long as the cheese is omitted.

I had my diabetic ophthalmologic exam this morning and the doctor said everything looked fine. That takes care of the medical end.
Vision check (different insurance) is next week, with another doctor in the same office. I've had these glasses for a couple of years now and even if I don't need much of a change in the prescription, I think it's time for new glasses as these are getting kind of old and slightly scratched. Hopefully my vision insurance pays as well as it has in the past, as I have to have titanium frames. I have a serious nickel sensitivity and will not only turn stainless steel green, or even the gold they use to make frames, but will also break out where it's near or touching my skin. Last time this was no issue at all, and I got titanium frames and multi-progressive photo-gray lenses along with the exam for just $10. I think it's still the same but I'll see when I finish.

Hi! Certainly NOT morning anymore!
Watched the brunch struggle video. I like that kid for some reason. Maybe because he reminds me of one of my nephews...whatever. I sent the vid. to my nephews and a niece. I KNOW Mary cooks!
Going to head out in just a few minutes. I think the rain is over for awhile. driving to ALDI...want more of the frozen veg's I got last time, and another box of the vegetables..(the Asian variety) They are handy to have on hand in the freezer.
I need to book an appointment with my eye doc. It will be a vision check..like Ed, my lens have not changed in years. But, I pay for and they do several other tests, including a photograph of the back of my eye...that's quite interesting! They usually contact me and we set up an appointment...but I've not heard from them.
Yeah, Poor cat. He really was panic struck. Got extra petting and talking with and he calmed down. No PTS that I've noticed.
He's outside now, by choice. Up on the roof. People put fake snakes and owls on their roofs to scare away the hawks, I have the real live chaser up there!
Ok, cleaning day not my fav day either. But I refuse to pay someone else to do it for me...so...
There were other things in the tea Roger..it tasted good! Had some kind of mint, some citrusy touches, etc. Would't drink it every day, but is good, no caffeine, etc.
Need to make a quick order to Amazon, and then double check the weather...I remember they saying something about rain on the east side of I85...which is where I am, and where I will be going. So...I need to check it out. Nothing critical on my list.
Later...0 -
LOL! Famous last words. Nothing Critical on my list. Well, true, nothing critical..I walked out with $45 worth of ALDI's!!! Good deal on fresh Cauliflower, got 2 of the bags of veg medley that I liked after trying it last trip out...and I got not only a box of the Asian veg. patties, but also a box of Thai veg patties as well. I found some cranberry salad dressing, and a jar of the Hatch Pepper Salsa..bought some last trip. I love it with my rice and veg's. Ed, its WAY too mild for your taste, but I love it cuz I like the taste of peppers, but when they are so hot I can't taste the food their on...not liking very much! The salsa was on sale, along with a LOT of other reduced grocery items. Looked like they are trying to create shelf space ahead of the holidays. Being a German owned store, I found some cookies that I love. Pfeffernüsse! That was another recipe my MIL shared with me because I'd never eaten them and loved hers. Like I don't NEED cookies...but....
They had a display of Reece's Peanut Butter cups...$0.75 cents..so I bought one since I have yet to see the hidden ones. What else....Pumpkin Soup/Chili...hmmm, Some applesauce, canned pineapple, Oh, and 4 banana's, which I'd sworn I'd never get there again. But these are pretty yellow, so hopefully they'll be good. Apples, Brussels Sprouts, (for roasting) golden raisins..etc. So you can see a lot of groceries for $45 bucks! I'll let you know about the chili/pumpkin. They also had just Pumpkin Soup...but I passed on that. I love Savory pumpkin soup, but some of these soups are sweet. Those I don't like at all! So Ed, if you buy a box of the Pumpkin Soup please write us a Soup Review!!
It was raw outside this afternoon. Not really that cold...mid 50's, but windy, and very damp. That cold that goes thru your clothes, and seemingly you own skin to your bones. Was happy to get into my car, home and in the garage!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and No Money found. The Temperature out the door was 58. I could hear heavy rain hitting the AC during the night. When I headed out the door the rain was light and on and off mostly on. the weather forecast was accurate.

Yesterday we had another day of higher than normal temperatures, I saw 72 degrees at 4:45 PM at a nearby location, actually much of NJ was at or near that temperature.
Murphy never sleeps
IMO a more meaty texture is a plus.
To be honest I would not expect there to be animal fat in the crust. The Sauce would depend on if it had meat cooked into it for taste, Not likely IMO.
So the Allegra type may not be quite as effective ?

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
38/3 with an expected high of 63/17 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up, and me and the cats fed. I forgot to get canned mealworms for the sugar gliders the other day when I got cat and kitten food, so I need to stop at PetSmart soon to get that, as they are working on their last can. Last night they got some nice, sweet, almost, but not quite, over-ripe Comice pear, since I happened to notice a bin of them at Ingles yesterday, on special sale because they needed to be eaten soon or disposed of. I only bought one, as the sugar gliders just need about an eighth of a piece and you can't really keep pears once cut, at least not easily. J and I consumed the rest of the delicious piece of fruit.
So the Allegra type may not be quite as effective ?
Everything looking fine is good, I can only think that the gold frames must not be using real gold. That is a problem I have not run into.
Apples vs. oranges. Allegra is not a decongestant. It's an antihistamine allergy pill. As far as I know the only things you have to sign for are the decongestants containing pseudoephedrine, and that's because it can be used, in larger quantities, for home production of meth.
My understanding on the gold frames is that the gold used is generally not 18K, which contains no nickel, but a lower grad such as 10K, a less expensive alloy, which does contain nickel, as does non-surgical grade stainless steel, which I also cannot wear.
The same is true for sterling silver. In high school someone gave me a sterling silver name bracelet that I liked a lot but even if I painted it with nail polish I turned it green and it made my wrist break out. Eventually I passed it on to someone else named Ed, who didn't have a nickel allergy, since I couldn't wear it except for very brief periods of time.
I do fine with titanium or niobium jewelry, but for some reason niobium, while used in some modern jewelry, doesn't seem to be in common use for eye glasses. At any rate, the plus on titanium is that it's very lightweight but still fairly strong and my glasses, especially with high grade plastic lenses, don't feel like they are trying to drag my nose and ears off my head from the weight. LOL.
I wear a watch with a plastic back and plastic strap.

I got out to PetSmart and got the meal worms for the sugar gliders. Oliver climbed up on top of the cage again this morning, first time I've caught him since I spanked him last week. So there is now foil all around the lower back and upper legs to, well, foil him. Hopefully he'll take one gander at that and say, "Meow!" which translates to, "Curses! Foiled again!"
And after buying the meal worms, I came back across the street to Aldi. I spent $39.06 and it's ALL YOUR FAULT, Val!
I wouldn't have even looked in the seasonal aisle if you hadn't mentioned the Pfeffernüsse! But there they were, so a bag of those came home with me, along with some Almond Spekulatius cookies (very high on both my favorites list and on J's - very reminiscent of windmill cookies), Butter Spekulatius cookies (just to try), and the apparent last box of pumpkin pie Pop Tarts.
OK. I won't blame you for the ENTIRE $39.06, just the cookies and Pop Tarts. LOL.
I also got a frozen flatbread appetizer, just garlic (butter?) and cheese, and a frozen pizza package that we've tried before, with one pepperoni deep dish, crisp crust, pizza and one cheese deep dish, crisp crust, pizza. J eats the cheese and I eat the pepperoni.
And while picking up a can of cream of mushroom and a can of tomato soup, I saw they have the harvest soup line out again this year. Seems like just a week or two ago that they had those out and I can't believe a whole year has already passed. I got a harvest potato soup, a harvest vegetable soup, and a split pea soup. Eduardo just suddenly pushed the idea of adding pepperoni to the split pea soup, so I may have to stifle my inner Eduardo for a while or I'll end up actually doing that and eating that just to see if it works. Sometimes I have the weirdest food ideas, and most of them actually do work, but when they don't, boy they don't!
I did inspect a box of the pumpkin soup, as I love a good pumpkin soup. In fact, I MAKE a good pumpkin soup. But I don't add sugar, as pumpkin is generally sweet enough on its own and if you want the soup sweeter, then just use a pie pumpkin to make it and you still don't need to add sugar. As the box listed sugar as one of the ingredients, I declined to buy it and set it back on the shelf.
I make a nice, savory, pumpkin bisque that I've only managed to serve to one or two friends, who liked it but I think I'm still in the minority on liking pumpkin soup around here. So when I make it I usually try to make it in small amounts so I can enjoy it all before I get tired of it. It is very good, but as with any food, as Popeye said, enough is enough.
I added a few other items, such as some vegetarian stuffing mix in case J is here for Thanksgiving. He isn't sure yet, but often goes up to Kentucky for that. If he IS here I'll make my own cornbread stuffing from stuffing crumbs, with turkey stock, and my own added seasonings, and then make him a box of vegetarian (and NOT cornbread) stuffing, with vegetable broth.
I can also add a broccoli, riced cauliflower, and cheese casserole to the menu if he's here, and using cauliflower would mean I could eat more than just a taste of it.
So far the menu for solo Thanksgiving is looking like:
Sliced, roasted turkey.
Sliced, cured ham.
Cornbread stuffing made with turkey stock.
Green beans OR green peas. Haven't decided. If the beans, I MAY make the green bean casserole but also may just have beans, or perhaps sprinkle French Fried onions on top of plain beans. I like the casserole but it gets old and tired after a couple of meals, and it's impossible to make a tiny, individual one.
Brown turkey gravy for the stuffing.
Pumpkin swirl cheesecake, pre-made, commercial, in the freezer. 8 pieces, in two packages of 4, but one package may stay there until Christmas, which was kind of on my mind when I picked up the second package. That may depend on whether J is here and how much of it he eats, if any.
Possibly real whipped cream for topping but perhaps not. Easy enough for me to whip up if I want it.
If J is here I'll likely add:
Broccoli, riced cauliflower and cheese casserole.
Potato salad.
Deviled eggs.
I can eat one or two pieces of deviled egg (can anyone REALLY eat just one?) and a bite of the potato salad, and the broccoli casserole can be a good side for me as an add on, though I don't really need it.
And of course I'm sure there will be cookies if J doesn't like the pumpkin swirl cheesecake or doesn't want to try any. I know he prefers pecan pie and if he's here a pecan pie may happen too! I can whip up one of my famous maple pecan pies easily enough. But if I do, I WILL eat some of that, even if it's made for him...because I love pecan pie too.
I figure with the meats and (hopefully) green beans, I can fill up on non-carby stuff first before hitting the carbs. Hopefully. Hah! It'll be Thanksgiving so I don't really get too bent if I go overboard on that holiday, but still try to be a lot more reasonable than I used to be. Pretty sure I'll eat a bit more stuffing and gravy than I really should, but that's what Thanksgiving is all about for me. Stuffing and gravy! And turkey of course.

Hi! Sat. 11.3.18
Pretty outside, nice and bright sunny day. Leaves have begun to turn to gold on the biggest maple...They will do a 50% drop next week...not looking forward to that...but will enjoy being 'justified' by the large amount of leaves there are!!
Ed, hope you enjoy the cookies. ?, Did you see the Panettone Bread at the checkout line? That was hard to pass by! I'm saving my cookies for T Day too.
Roger, no the Peanut butter cups were not from what is somewhere in this house...I bought one pkg, of 2 cups, so I didn't 'grieve' over not having at least one this Halloween. And while I'm thinking of it....have you found any really tasty good apples so far this year? Either my 'taster' is really out of whack...or they just aren't as tasty this year. (and the ones that are sorta ok, are HUGE) Nobody needs to eat an apple that weighs nearly a pound!
Ted called. He's going to Stick and basket with me tomorrow afternoon...you know LAX.. ok, LaCrosse...last game of the season.
This morning I began putting summer clothes in storage. Weather bounces around so much down here that I never really put EVERYthing away for the winter...but most everything.
The foodie post with the little girl wanting 'scary' food..was cute. But its a rare child who would choose Spagh. and Meatballs over Ice cream and cake pops!!! Good for her though!
Ok, nap time...0 -

I'm sure I (we) will enjoy the cookies. J is in there now threatening to open the almond cookies and if he does I may have to buy another box and hide it until Thanksgiving. I don't think he'll be so anxious to open the butter cookies and KNOW he won't open the spice cookies, as he doesn't care for them at all.
I did see some chocolate chip pannetone, in the seasonal aisle, but didn't see any regular (fruit) pannetone at my Aldi. Don't recall really looking at the stuff at the checkout though. I love the fruit pannetone but, despite loving chocolate, am not particularly fond of the chocolate chip pannetone, and didn't buy that.
If I go back and see some regular (fruit) pannetone at the counter it will be all your fault that I buy some! LOL.
