It says to expect "occasional" rain starting at 7:45 but then the hourly forecast pretty much shows rain the rest of the day. Maybe it stops for the half hours or something, occasionally,
Need to feed the cats and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. I had thought of possibly getting out in it but if it's that icky I will probably just stay inside except for getting the mail.
And of course rainy days are lovely for nap time. I'm sure the felines would be in full agreement with me on that.
Your weather is not any better than ours, Oh well. Tomorrow the high temps start dropping from a very brief period of 50 degree day(s).
I'm not sure why but it seems that the weather forecasts are not as reliable these days as even a few years ago.

I thought that versions of the KFC's original recipe were available on the Internet for a while. I know there there are sites that have versions of pretty much chain food or sauce available, I would expect that the KFC would be there too, hmm...parityanimal wrote: »Does this lady's "leaked" KFC recipe really taste like KFC or is it just pretty good chicken?
I did a quick Google search and plenty of versions came up, I used KFC recipe for the search term FWIW.
I'm bit sure a candy type bar is what I consider dessert. To me Dessert would be a bowl of Rice or Tapioca pudding, Pie or Cake, or Some Ice Cream.parityanimal wrote: »OK. We've had our soup and our entree so let's try dessert!

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hey, back again!
Were you surprised Roger? It still took me awhile to give in to sleep. So I slept late.
Nice that I can to that! To make up for lost time, I have both the dishwasher and the clothes washer working!!
Yes Roger I did read the article about WF and packaging. May, or may not, be the cause of the hot bar food containers were all either the plastic plates or the Chinese to go box ilk. Not fond of the Chinese cardboard, loved the big containers that looks to hold a quart?... Since I don't eat there more than or shop there nearly as often as I used to...not gonna worry over it.
My breakfast this morning was, well delightful...maybe not so nutritional though! I ate the last of the vegan chocolate frosted and multi colored sprinkled donuts, also had a medium banana, and my one lonely cup of 'real' coffee. Planned to take a pix ..forgot. I can tel you every last morsel was delicious.
I wish I had not lost the ability to sleep late, Now if I get to tired I nap, oh well adjustments due to aging
I'm not sure how much Chinese Cardboard is used in food containers TBH.
We reuse the Plastic containers that hold Hot meals and the plastic ones with the lid several times before they get a beat up and go into the recycle bin.
I have more or less given up on winning the lottery, except for the odd occasion and those all come up goose eggs for winningsI've had dreams like that so very real...If I ever own a Tesla you will know I've won a big chunk of lottery money! So while you dream of shiny dimes, pennies, etc. I wait for my turn at the lottery money! LOL!!
Ed, Good Morning! Trader Joes, seems to be the 'it' place lately. Every foodie group I follow has suddenly started reviewing TJ's products. Most interesting. I should note that Ted has one maybe 3 or 4 blocks from his house, and has been browsing there a lot! And because of just where he lives, he's maybe another block or two from Whole Foods. So I get reviews from both stores. I know he also sometimes shops Kroger and Publix. Dog food for Maya comes from a store in same shopping area as TJ's. They sell overpriced dog foods, dog treats, etc....they also have the neatest 'dog wash', I've ever seen...Dog walks up a ramp. You close the door, and scrub your own animal with soap, and towels provided. Even hair dryers are available! Maya loves it, and so does Ted! I was 30-40 years younger when Jack's dog Greta and I would wrestle over bath time....
I'm about to be reminded to take a walk. Gotta love Fitbit!
Later...
I find it interesting how things trend, why and how something becomes popular is so weird. Especially the Dangerous Challenges that Kids do.
One thing I like better at Whole Foods is their Butter, It just seems to taste better and is not that expensive.
I used to go for the Breakfast Hot Food Bar at the nearby location until they stopped doing it. I want to get out to a further out ShopRite and see if they still do one on a Sunday, No Rush for that.
Interesting, a Dog Wash
I would be happy with the price even at the higher price. The nearby CostCo does no have gas, and I am not driving further just for that so...GardenKatGardens wrote: »About gas prices. $1.96 yesterday at Costco....$1.97 today!!! Ya know I'd have been happy if it was $1.95!! Was hoping for a 'trend'. Oh well....
It is a trend, it is just trending the wrong way.
And now that You watched the Vegan Butter I know You can not wait to Make itGardenKatGardens wrote: »Finally! I watched the Vegan butter, and then I watched her (Rosa) make cashew butter. Call me lazy..but Costco has Cashew Butter, and its not expensive. I'd have to do a bit of calculating, but I'm willing to bet buying ready made is cheaper. Buying raw cashew's is pricy! There was a time when I discovered it was cheaper to buy Silk Almond milk, than it was to make it. Haven't checked lately though. Don't use that much anymore. In the beginning it seemed I was using quite a bit of Almond Milk....oh!!! did I tell you I found RIPPLE in one cup servings....yep, Ripple (Almond milk)!!! Not the really cheap wine, from when? my college days? I had to laugh when I saw it. Yep, Mom's hitting the Ripple!!!
Kitchen's cleaned up, I didn't eat my pear...my dinner filled me up. Will have pear tomorrow.
The advantage of making Your own is that it likely has no additives to keep it from separating and to act as a preservative ?
I remember Buying and drinking Ripple, ah to be that young again.
That was a dirty trick doing what he wanted for himIt has rained quite a bit today, supposed to stop tomorrow. I sure hope. Tom wanted to be out of the house, but, didn't want to be out in the rain either. It was funny to watch him. He'd go to the front door, I'd open the door and the storm door, he'd dash to the end of the porch, hesitate, look over his shoulder at me, like I'd played a dirty trick on him, and then he's zoom back into the house. This went on all day today.
Ok, I'm going to gather up my marbles and go to my room! Its my turn to play a Scrabble word, and there are a couple news stories I'd like to read, etc a Suduko puzzle, maybe a jigsaw puzzle and chances are I'll nod off to sleep still wearing my glasses!! I got these frames from Costco for a song, and that was most likely at least 5 years ago...this sleeping in them is fairly new, but it doesn't seem to hurt them....I know one day I'll wake and have broken the frames. Not before the holidays I sure hope!!
Later...
BTW I am curious, how long does scrabble game like that take to play ?
I hope You have spare pair of glasses just in case. If You slept like I do likely they would already be broken
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 9C/48F with an expected high of 11C/52F and 30% chance of precipitation. That sounds a whole lot nicer than yesterday!
As expected, I went nowhere yesterday except down the hill (driveway) to the mailbox.
Need to get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up and get the felines fed. And I'd like a nap, as usual.
I do have a couple of bone in, skin on, chicken thighs thawed up to do something with today. Perhaps I'll fry chicken for dinner. That would be nice.

Well, lunchtime came around and since I didn't want a sandwich and there wasn't a lot else to put together I roasted my two chicken thighs and had them with a small handful of potato chips.
They roasted up very nicely in the toaster oven, with crispy, seasoned skin and juicy dark meat. I would definitely make them that way again, though I don't actually know exactly how much of any given seasoning I used.

Out chance of Precip was 100% Saturday and Today, Sunday with Saturday being predicted to be the better day. It is never a great weather forecast when they are predicting the day to be raw and windy. Yesterdays High was around 50 degrees.
Do You have any problems with getting the bone in Thighs cooked all the way without overcooking them ?
Since I could not tell You my Sign, I'm going with probably not reliable at best, Your Opinion ? I would try the toast FWIW.parityanimal wrote: »Your Ideal Breakfast Based on Zodiac Sign

Having them with Potato Chips sounds like a nice meal to me. My problem with Potato Chips is I can not eat just a small handful
Not knowing how much of any given seasoning means that You have a variety of tastes when You cook them in the future

Hi Valerie0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday. 8C/47F with an expected high of 11C/52F and 10% chance of precipitation.
Need to feed the felines and get yesterday's cat bowls cleaned up. And I need to get the garbage and recycles to the curb and do a little bit of sweeping up and vacuuming in the house.
Dinner last night was pizza so breakfast today was pizza. Lunch will be pizza. Possibly dinner too, though the other two slices that aren't lunch might go for separate snacks (morning and afternoon) but we'll see.

Do You have any problems with getting the bone in Thighs cooked all the way without overcooking them ?
I generally don't have any problem with that. Completely thawed, they take about a half hour in my toaster oven, set to convection mode, skin side up, at 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This usually results in very tasty, crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. For bone in, skin on I don't even brine them, though I usually do for the boneless, skinless thighs, to avoid dry meat.

Hi!
I haven't read or even looked at the board today. I am about to leave for Sugar Hill, and then Alpheretta. Today is the day Olivia will be baptized at North Point Community Church. So it's a big hooptie doooooo, as it should be.
Be Back much later...0 -
Home again! I've had a good day. O is such a sweet heart. Only one really big big hitch. I gave her the baby cross that I received and have kept for 75 years. I wrote a note in her card, explaining this. She looked at the card...and looked at the card..."Grammie, I can't read this you wrote it in cursive." Yes, you read that right. And somebody in that family told me the kids could write in cursive....BS..if they can write in cursive then they 'should' be able to also read it, right??? 14 and a half...freshman in high school, gets good grades, etc....and can't read cursive.
Our schools have gone to hell.
I've watched most of the video's...I gained 3 pounds. Thanks Edward!!!
Read the discussion about the chicken thighs, skin on and bone in....those were my fav cuts of chicken when I used to cook them in the slow cooker. I thought they had a richer better taste than the boneless and skinless kind. Just thought I'd toss that idea out. I, of course don't eat them now...:) I also remember making Chicken Cordon Bleu back in the day!!
Roger I admire your determination out walking in wet and cold weather. I'm sure I would either just stay indoors, or do what I do, and thats go to the gym!! OH, we got 4 new machines on Friday...2 rowing machines, (I used those at Golds, neat things), and a hand peddled bicycle thingy...(used that at physical therapy, hated it), and I don't even know what to call the 4th machine,...have no idea even what it does!! Guess this week I'll learn a thing or two!!!
Thats all for now...tired, and ready for some sleep.

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 36 degrees. The rain did end on schedule leaving everything outdoors wet OTOH. I also had one Deer run across the street right in front of me and a minute later a second one ran up the street.

The TV news did a item about how many of the Grocery Store chains in the City had mislabeling on the fish being sold. I remember years ago they caught some of the smaller stores removing the Use by Date and replacing it with a later date, Complete illegal naturally, The meat manager must not have wanted any waste.
I never made Chicken Cordon Bleu I always just ordered it off of a Menu or bought it from the freezer section, Color me lazy, they were good enough for me.
I have used Rowing Machines, Many Years ago on one of my Fitness tries. I had to use a hand peddled thing for Therapy too, No fun.
Good Luck, I await hearing what the fourth machine is

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 7C/44F with an expected high of 14C/57F and 0% chance of precipitation.
I need to feed the felines and I need to get out to buy kitten food for Orion (canned) and cat food for Lilo (canned) but want to try a new flavor for Lilo that our closest PetSmart doesn't carry. I will travel a bit further afield and try the nearest PetCo to see if they have it.
I could order it online but I have to buy it by the case, and the price is staggering. As she hasn't tried that flavor (the whole point of buying it) I am not about to buy a case and then find out she doesn't like it. If I can't get just a can to try, then she won't be trying it at all.
She's not too crazy about the two canned flavors of her special diet that are readily available at the vet or the nearby PetSmart and I would like to get one she actually likes if I can. They make a plain, tuna pate flavor and she generally likes tuna so I'm looking for a can of that flavor. She's an old kitty and deserves to have food that she actually likes, if it can be found. Fortunately she does like the kibble that's available from the vet (chicken flavor), but I would like her to be eating more canned food and she doesn't like the chicken pate that they have there or the alternate, vegetable and tuna stew from PetSmart, though she does like tuna. I think it's the veggie part that turns her off.
