I love basted eggs but would NOT label them as "no flip over easy" so the title of this video kind of bugs me. They aren't OVER anything if you didn't flip them over!

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The YTD money found is still unchanged at 14 Cents. The temperature this morning was 35 on the porch and 36 on the cable news channel, That is higher than yesterdays temps.
I finally counted the money I found last year and came up with $7.95
There is snow in the forecast and it appears that where I am the forecast is for 1 to 3 inches of a heavy snowfall. The forecast was for snow to start yesterday afternoon, However it did not happen. This morning there was a light rain falling that turned into a mix of rain and snow and then to snow while I was walking, Somewhere around 6AM and by the time I arrived home the sidewalks and streets were turning white.

People will do anything to save a few cents. I suppose it makes cents to them. But if the uniform policy would "blow her cover" then why would she blow her own cover by identifying herself as an agent? That part sort of blows her story doesn't it?

Not to mention that the lawsuit costs taxpayers money too.
I suspect that the box was also heavy...parityanimal wrote: »Well, I got to PetSmart and Aldi today. I bought a 30 can box of cat food, which will last 15 days. Dinah eats a whole can, while Lilo and Kiara get half a can each. Then each gets a varying amount of kibble, Lilo getting a quarter cup (more if she eats all that), Dinah getting a third of a cup (yes, she's a little piglet but an ACTIVE little piglet), and Kiara getting about a third of a cup.
Kiara is on her last bag of kitten food as she'll be officially a CAT in February and really is probably already a cat, but there's still a bit in the bag so she can eat it. We placed her birthday in February based on her estimated age at adoption, so it's really rather up in the air. She could be the same age as Dinah. Dinah will ALWAYS be a kitten to us as she's so petite. I woke up this morning with Lilo and Dinah both at my side, on the bed with me.
Right now we have THREE bags of kibble. Kiara's kitten food, Dinah's "adult cat 1 to 6 years (grain free)," and Lilo's kidney function and antioxidant rich senior kibble. Kiara will be transitioned to the same food as Dinah and they'll stay synced up, barring any medical necessity of change for either of them, for life.
Whee a whole two weeks of food. Why waste the food if Kiara is willing to eat it.Aldi had placed the German bean soup in the main soup area, but it is clearly marked as a SEASONAL ITEM so I figure when it's gone, it's gone. I bought two more cans to put back for future meals, and two cans of a hearty vegetable soup of the same brand and size, because they sounded good when I read the ingredients. J and I have four soup meals there for cold days, as each can is two nice servings, and I'm sure we will be having some more cold days!
I also got some red pepper hummus at Aldi and it is just about the perfect foil for the spicy felafel chips. I had a few of them, with hummus, as a lunch appetizer that I really didn't need, but thoroughly enjoyed. The cayenne was still very noticeable, but not nearly as overwhelming to the taste buds, and the hummus complemented the minimal flavor of the chips nicely.
J probably won't be eating any more of them, but I'll finish them off with the hummus.
My brother was complaining that he had forgotten to pick up some Progresso Soups and another item when he was in the Grocery Store Sunday, They did not get on his list
Now that he is under the weather he really wishes he had picked up the soup as there is none in the house except a couple of the NS Chicken Soups and they would not be enough for him.
I love a Garlic Cheese Toast on Italian bread. Not a big fan of Sourdough Bread OTOH it does sound tasty.parityanimal wrote: »And...tonight's dinner was...
Sourdough garlic cheese toast. I made this! OK. I didn't actually bake the bread myself but i put the garlic cheese toast together and toasted it.
Artisan Pasta (Capunti in this case - Trader Joe's) with Italian Marinara Sauce with Barolo Wine (also Trader Joes).
Wine of choice: Three Buck Chuck (Charles Shaw) Nouveau, 2017. I'd put this $2.99 bottle of Nouveau up against most imported Beaujolais Nouveau. It's all new wine, made from Gamay grapes, and since it's not aged after fermenting, one doesn't expect much complexity, just a nice fruity taste. As with the Beaujolais Nouveau, this is only available from around Thanksgiving until it runs out, and when it's gone, it's gone until the next year's holiday season.
I was pleased to see they still had a few bottles at Trader Joe's, as I had not, as yet, had any of the 2017 new wine. I bought 2 bottles. There is now one left.
Due to the Holidays past I am still fighting that famous WWII battle, The Battle of the Bulge. This morning weigh in was not as good as I had hoped for with a slight, under a 1/4 pound drop from yesterday.
My Brother likes the Three Buck Chuck wines from TJs too.
Wowsers, Your morning temps are 20 degrees colder than mine, Lucky Youparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
15 bone chilling degrees out there this morning with an expected high of only 30 and 20% chance of precipitation, presumably in the form of early snow flurries. We did get what looks like about an inch of snow overnight. The yard looks all shiny and lovely and I have little doubt there's ice under that snow in places, especially on overpasses and such. Wouldn't be surprised to hear there's no school today, as this IS the Atlanta metro area and people here just don't do well on snow. No one, anywhere, can really do well on ice, without chains or studded tires and even then it's iffy.
I don't think I was planning to go anywhere today and if I was, I think I just cancelled any such plans.
One of those cans of hearty German vegetable soup is sounding like a possible lunch today as it's definitely a soup kind of day.
I left indoor faucets on outside facing walls dripping last night, just in case.
Now to see just which updates couldn't be installed overnight and why...and get them installed.
The snow is still falling and I can see a few tire tracks in it on my block.
I used to buy and use studded tires in the winter back before Radial Tires became affordable, Now I just stay off of ice and the Radial Tires are enough. If You left the faucets dripping, Then there must be some ice outside. If You ever need to have those changed they make ones that put the valve part inside with a long valve stem outside the house to prevent problems.
These two Windows 10 computers seem to get updates differently, The basement one is always getting the latest Version changes and this one only gets the security updates. Monday I chose update and shut down then yesterday I had to wait when I turned it on while it finished installing updates
Good Luck with Your Updates

P.S. looking at those pictures of the Pasta I see I am not the only one that uses a lot of grated cheese and I go lighter on the Tomato Gravy much like You do whereas my brother has it swimming in Gravy. BTW I also noticed that You also pour the Gravy onto the Pasta rather than what they seem to do on the cooking contest shows where they put the pasta into the Gravy and then plate it.0 -

If you have some chicken in the freezer, you COULD make some home made soup for your brother... just saying.
I can take my pasta with gravy on top or tossed with the gravy, in the pot. The instructions for this particular pasta did say to "toss with your favorite" but I waited until after plating and then tossed my serving in the pasta bowl. I like my gravy thick, not very saucy, and, when meat is included, VERY meaty. This one was pretty nice for a jar and I may buy it again.
Yes, J and I both like a little pasta with our cheese. LOL. But then, since this was a meatless gravy, the cheese was the only protein in the meal aside from the minimal amount in the wheat ingredients.
Sometimes I'll brown a little ground meat in a separate pan, drain, and then mix sufficient marinara with it to make my own portion nice and meaty while J has the plain marinara, but both of us love lots of the grated cheese and I'll do that whether the cheese is the only protein or not.

About a dozen people arrested for feeding the homeless in El Cajon park
So the city has banned "food sharing" on public property. How does that work? No more picnics in public parks in the city are allowed? No more sharing of lunch with a co-worker or family member on a park bench? How doe they define "food sharing" anyway? I understand that the people WANTED to be arrested so they could fight this in court, but I'd also think that now the arrests have happened, people could find ways of getting around it by having a "picnic" or something instead of a "food share" and they just happen to invite some homeless people to the picnic...or something along those lines.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5267485/A-quarter-non-believers-pray-faced-crisis.html

Oh, the humanity! Somehow 48 states manage to allow this without having any major issues from it, and in fact MOST stations are self service around here, or at least have some self service islands. I can't think of any that have ONLY full service islands and very few anymore that have any at all. Around here a "service" station means a station that has an attached garage for minor (or sometimes major) repairs, though for that one usually goes to a shop that is just for repairs and doesn't even have gas.

Hi! My eyes are getting heavier by the moment. Just wanted to say its WHITE everywhere outside. I took two pix from inside the 40 degree garage. At the garage there was a set of kitty tracks, and a fairly sized bird also. Other than that what looked to be about 2.5 inches of snow...and my poor cul de sac neighbor from Dominican Republic (and who shall remain nameless and refered to as the Dominican House. I was introduced...just don't recall)
THey have a big van and at first I thought he was trying to drive...but, on watching, he was apparently returning from somewhere (maybe) and was tring to get his vehicle back up the somewhat steep driveway. A nice person would have grabbed a bag of kitty litter and a bag of course sand...and some long dead wood ashes and helped. BUt it was COLD like in the teens and wind from Hell..and I was in my jammies and robe and house shoes, etc. I did go out into the garage again later, and the van was at the house.
So glad I saw Ed YESTERDAY... I also bought a can or the Veg. Hearty Soup from Aldi's...I just haven't tried either of them! LOL!!! So, knowing Ed's opinion I am sure I'll be eating one of them soon.
Roger, you may have, and keep this white stuff that looked like Marshmallow frosting. Also, I'm with Ed...if you have some chicken in the freezer, an onion, some pasta and a bit of salt for seasoning you can make your brother some Chicken Soup...
Ok, my nap is going to begin before I can get my head on my pillow if I don't say....
Later!!!

Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 15 tropical degrees out there again, but with an expected high today of 42 balmy degrees! No chance of precipitation. Sounds like a good day for sunbathing.
Might get out today, if I feel like it, but might just doze all day, or as much as I can. Didn't really sleep all that well and the cats got me up at 5:00. Could possibly have gotten back to sleep but it just wasn't feeling like it so I got on up and made some baconized mac and cheese for breakfast. The cats approved.
Lilo is in my lap, and Kiara is lying on a box next to my keyboard. I think Dinah is probably on the kitchen table but can't quite see that from here.
Yesterday all the cats were especially frenetic. Kiara and Dinah chased each other all over the place, running into things, playing with any toy they encountered on the floor, and Lilo, saving her madness for later, was playing like a kitten at bedtime! She's also the one that woke me up this morning. I don't know if the cold weather somehow energized them or what, but they all had a good time yesterday. When Dinah wasn't chasing around with Kiara, she was on J's desk or bugging him to dangle a string for her while he was trying to work.
No mail delivery, again, so today we may get three days worth of mail all at once. The package I was initially expecting yesterday, also didn't come. No surprise there, considering the condition of the roads, and this being Georgia. There was an update to the delivery that said now the 18th to the 19th and that at 8:45 last night it supposedly arrived at Smyrna (local really, as it's in the Atlanta metro area) from Columbia, SC. So there's a chance it MIGHT get here today, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make it until tomorrow. They have now said if I don't get it by Saturday, to let them know. You may be sure I will, should that much delay happen.
Its one of those microwave searing grill sets that we saw tested by Mr. White, as he seemed to think it worked pretty well. I'll give it my own review after I cook my first steak in it. They also make a rectangular one and I added that to the order. I think I'll use the rectangular one for meat and the round one for just vegetarian stuff so that J and I can both enjoy the use of them. I may test the round one on some hash browns to see if it works for that.
OK. Time to find interesting (hopefully) videos on YouTube.

Woman fatally shot outside Mott Haven bodega
Updated: Tuesday, January 16, 2018 7:26 PM EST
MOTT HAVEN -
A 36-year-old woman was fatally shot outside a Mott Haven bodega.
Police say Shaquana Button was shot in the head around 11:30 p.m. outside the East 149th Street store.
Surveillance video shows the argument inside the bodega that led to the shooting. In it, a man can be seen approaching Button, and the two appear to have a heated exchange, with pushing and shoving. Another angle shows a man stepping between the two arguing. Minutes later, the man arguing with Button exits the bodega but goes back inside. Button was eventually shot outside the store.
Witnesses tell News 12 the fight may have started over a cigarette.

I'm not sure I could call any day with a morning temperature of 15 degrees thrillingparityanimal wrote: »Howdy y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! 15 tropical degrees out there again, but with an expected high today of 42 balmy degrees! No chance of precipitation. Sounds like a good day for sunbathing.
Might get out today, if I feel like it, but might just doze all day, or as much as I can. Didn't really sleep all that well and the cats got me up at 5:00. Could possibly have gotten back to sleep but it just wasn't feeling like it so I got on up and made some baconized mac and cheese for breakfast. The cats approved.
Lilo is in my lap, and Kiara is lying on a box next to my keyboard. I think Dinah is probably on the kitchen table but can't quite see that from here.
Yesterday all the cats were especially frenetic. Kiara and Dinah chased each other all over the place, running into things, playing with any toy they encountered on the floor, and Lilo, saving her madness for later, was playing like a kitten at bedtime! She's also the one that woke me up this morning. I don't know if the cold weather somehow energized them or what, but they all had a good time yesterday. When Dinah wasn't chasing around with Kiara, she was on J's desk or bugging him to dangle a string for her while he was trying to work.
No mail delivery, again, so today we may get three days worth of mail all at once. The package I was initially expecting yesterday, also didn't come. No surprise there, considering the condition of the roads, and this being Georgia. There was an update to the delivery that said now the 18th to the 19th and that at 8:45 last night it supposedly arrived at Smyrna (local really, as it's in the Atlanta metro area) from Columbia, SC. So there's a chance it MIGHT get here today, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't make it until tomorrow. They have now said if I don't get it by Saturday, to let them know. You may be sure I will, should that much delay happen.
Its one of those microwave searing grill sets that we saw tested by Mr. White, as he seemed to think it worked pretty well. I'll give it my own review after I cook my first steak in it. They also make a rectangular one and I added that to the order. I think I'll use the rectangular one for meat and the round one for just vegetarian stuff so that J and I can both enjoy the use of them. I may test the round one on some hash browns to see if it works for that.
OK. Time to find interesting (hopefully) videos on YouTube.
Something the Cats ate ?
The roads are that bad yet ? Wow !
Now I'm curious, You can not just wash something and then use it for Vegetarian?
I know that many Jewish households have a separate set of cooking and eating items for one specific Holiday and that using them other times means a long cleansing Ritual. That is how I understand it anyway.
I do confess to being curious as to what a real persons testing will say and not something seen on TV or YouTube.
Have a Nice Day

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi! My eyes are getting heavier by the moment. Just wanted to say its WHITE everywhere outside. I took two pix from inside the 40 degree garage. At the garage there was a set of kitty tracks, and a fairly sized bird also. Other than that what looked to be about 2.5 inches of snow...and my poor cul de sac neighbor from Dominican Republic (and who shall remain nameless and referred to as the Dominican House. I was introduced...just don't recall)
They have a big van and at first I thought he was trying to drive...but, on watching, he was apparently returning from somewhere (maybe) and was trying to get his vehicle back up the somewhat steep driveway. A nice person would have grabbed a bag of kitty litter and a bag of course sand...and some long dead wood ashes and helped. But it was COLD like in the teens and wind from Hell..and I was in my jammies and robe and house shoes, etc. I did go out into the garage again later, and the van was at the house.
I'm feeling tired currently as I woke up early once again and could not fall back to sleep.
I never had much luck using Kitty Litter or Speedy Dry trying for traction. Sand after shoveling or Rock Salt would be my preference.
No Thanks, I'm not interested in any more snow for the rest of the winter.So glad I saw Ed YESTERDAY... I also bought a can or the Veg. Hearty Soup from Aldi's...I just haven't tried either of them! LOL!!! So, knowing Ed's opinion I am sure I'll be eating one of them soon.
Roger, you may have, and keep this white stuff that looked like Marshmallow frosting. Also, I'm with Ed...if you have some chicken in the freezer, an onion, some pasta and a bit of salt for seasoning you can make your brother some Chicken Soup...
Ok, my nap is going to begin before I can get my head on my pillow if I don't say....
Later!!!
I'm thinking about using the NS soup myself since my brother turned it down.
Enjoy Your Soup

Sounds like the typical military overspending to me. Spend it all quickly, without quality checks, go back later and spend more to fix what's wrong...ad infinitum.https://pjmedia.com/trending/soda-tax-sticker-shock-grips-seattle/
Soda Tax Sticker Shock Grips Seattle

I'd be interested in how the council calculated that it would net the city 15 million in new tax...er FEE dollars, while at the same time reducing consumption of sugary drinks. Did someone attempt to compute how much less people would consume in sugary drinks and then compute the tax, sorry, FEES on what would still be consumed or, more likely, compute the tax, er FEES, based on what was currently being sold without consideration of how much less would presumably be consumed?
In either case, did they include the lost sales, and taxes...sorry, FEES, to nearby towns and all the illicit trade that is sure to ensue? And did they make it illegal for people to bring in drinks from nearby towns, even for personal consumption, without paying the tax...er FEE on it?
I doubt they'll see anything NEAR 15 million in additional revenue and will likely, instead, see a major LOSS of tax or fee revenues due to lost sales, while nearby cities and towns will see a boom in drink sales and taxes.https://www.yahoo.com/news/suppressing-sneeze-dangerous-doctors-warn-235529610.html

Oddly enough, I saw a video on this just last night. Looks a bit cramped for me but I could see it as a relatively inexpensive vacation home, or rental, in the woods, maybe on a mountain, or near a beach.
I love the descriptions on the illustrations. Especially the the part with the "strange and a bathroom" as I was wondering for a moment if they left a word out. Strange WHAT and a bathroom? LOL.https://www.yahoo.com/news/now-japanese-tv-issues-false-alarm-missile-launch-104605205.html
