    Howdy y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 46 out there with an expected high of 64 and 0% chance of rain.

    J made it safely to Myrtle Beach last night, cold and coughing and all. He's in a meetings/workshops/conference this week with his new company. His hotel room has a full kitchen, which I always loved when on an extended trip as I could stay in at least one or two nights and just cook something light, though I expect he'll be eating out with new co-workers most evenings, as he doesn't like cooking as much as I do anyway.

    He'll be working directly for someone he used to work with years ago. In fact, when his job first moved to Atlanta, we even shared an apartment with her and she was the best room mate we ever had! But then she left for greener pastures, and the apartment was all ours until we bought the house we currently live in. I was still living mainly in Memphis then, and occasionally working a week here, and J was working mainly in the Atlanta area and sometimes we'd swap weeks so my week here would correspond with his week in Memphis. We didn't move the cats to the apartment. Once we bought the house, and his favorite cat passed on, we got Ariel and she moved back and forth with him and the others moved back and forth with me, so we didn't have to swap weeks any more, and I was able to spend some of the middle weekends down here too. But still, there were long periods of time when the family was split by distance, and I was so glad when I was finally able to move down here permanently.

    Let me find some, hopefully, interesting videos now.

    Sushi chef reviews cheap sushi. I like sushi, but it tends to be WAY too expensive for me and has far too many carbs, so it's rare for me to eat it. The smoked eel with the sauce they put on it is to die for.

    Hi
    I went out walking once again this Morning. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 33 on the cable channel. The frost was fairly heavy and it felt colder than what the Thermometer said it was. I did see the Super-moon when I started out walking through a very light cloud cover.

    On the popular cooking hacks:

    To be fair to the microwave cupcakes, there are lots of different recipes on the internet that are MUCH better tasting, and have better texture, than what they mixed up for the video. The best that I've tried do not use an egg. A whole egg for just that small amount of cake is way too much and will result in...well, they already found out, didn't they? :wink:

    And the tomatoes between the plates? If they had put the top plate on right side up, so that the tomatoes were between the flat surfaces, it would have worked.

    I don't think these people really know how to cook or how to use kitchen utensils...

    And the "inside out" egg? LOL. There isn't enough yolk in an egg to do what their picture showed to be the supposed result. Assuming you can get enough spin on the egg to break the yolk, and doe any movement of the contents, you'll just end up with a scrambled egg in the shell.

    Howdy y'all. It's scintillating Sunday! 51 out there now with an expected high of 69 and no chance of rain.

    Finishing up laundry this morning, that was meant to be finished last night but I forgot it was in there! J is traveling this morning/afternoon and needs this done so I'm pushing it.

    Need to clear the sink, feed me, and feed the cats, who graciously (or maybe not so graciously) let me sleep in this morning when I told them at 5:55 that it just wasn't happening before 7:00 this morning.

    Then when I did get up, suddenly remembered first load of clothes, wet, in the washer and second load of clothes, not even started yet!

    So let me get started on food. First load is going in the dryer and second load is in the washer, going.
    Hi Ed
    I see You posted after I did on Sunday, That is unusual :)

    It was a lot chillier outside this morning here in NJ with the forecast high for Wednesday being at midnight and the temperatures going down through the day as the cold front arrives :(
    There is also rain in the forecast for Midweek.

    I always worry when driving and ill that I will have to sneeze.

    Since I do not eat much fish, Raw fish AKA Sushi is something I will pass on.

    Cheers

    I went out walking once again this Morning. The temperature this morning was 45 on the porch and 51 on the cable channel. I noticed that I could only see a dim glow from the moon through the cloud cover.

    Howdy y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 56 out there now with an expected high of 67 and 90% chance of rain!

    Sounds like a good day to stay indoors and, hopefully, dry.

    I have given Lilo her shot and treat (all three get a treat when she gets a shot), and eaten my breakfast. Need to clear the sink and maybe do some laundry. We'll see on the laundry...

    Drinking my second mug of tea now.

    After my breakfast, the cats had a little togetherness.
