Hi Guys!
feeling even a bit better again today. Slow process. It's Karma making me learn patience!
Loved so much of today's posts, and still have several of Ed's video's to watch.
Ted is in the kitchen stir-frying a big batch of tofu and vegetables, which will then get some really nice Teriyaki sauce. Will be enough for dinner tonite and leftovers for tomorrow!
Yesterday while he was at Whole Foods he found a box mix of white 'cheddar' with vegetables and it was surprisingly good. Ate what I wanted, and finished it and some left over peas, and some leftover chopped broccoli for lunch today. Good ole cook once, eat twice!
Dinner is sounding good!
Did I know, or did I tell you that they did total my car. Called me later in the afternoon. I will call them tomorrow to accept, as both the boys and myself seem to think its a good offer. Car hunting will begin over the weekend, and hopefully I will have a new ride by the end of next week or sooner. I'm sorta excited about that! Not about the car payments...though I can probably pay it off pretty quickly. But, you know...new car, some nice upgrades to the Fit's since my first one 6 years ago!
Started my morning on a happy note. My Chiro called about 9 a.m. just thinking about me, and wanting to know that I was doing well, etc. How about that! Nice. Of course I've been her patient on and off for over 25 years.
Ok, dinner is sounding and smelling really good...think I should prepare to eat.
Ed said that our cancellations here were because everyone remembers the god awful mess 5? years ago. Jack couldn't get home...did manage to get to his brother inlaws to spend the night. My nephew by marriage never made it home until the next day. A good samaritan offered him and several others on the interstate a vacant house he owned a place to stay to be warm, etc. No furniture, etc. but trust me they were grateful just to be out of their cars, and warm! My neice and her two little ones, had to walk over a mile to get home...hilly subdivision..icy roads. Nick was too young to walk, and Soph was in kindergarten. Surprised the little got that far. So, that's just the personal side...so many were stranded, kids, school buses, people on interstates, etc. It was horrendous. It will be a long time before Atlanta forgets...........
Later...

Dinner on this chilly night was true comfort food. Mom's meatloaf! Plenty of leftovers too.

Hi
I did not go walking due to the reported windchill and thus once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 3 degrees with a wind chill in in the -15 area. Depending on tonight's forecast I will or will not go walking tomorrow.
A minor point I missed about the new NS Four Cheese Manicotti. The Tomato sauce was different and was better.

Hi Edparityanimal wrote: »Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! I got the garbage and recycles out to the curb last night before it got TOO terribly cold. J said they closed schools yesterday (in an overabundance of caution) despite the forecast having changed so that it was just rain in the morning and nothing to indicate any road problems until possibly late last night, with leftover puddles freezing in sheltered areas that might not have dried out. I think they're still remembering school kids and families trapped on the interstates all night from before and making sure NEVER AGAIN!
-6C/21F with an expected high of 5C/41F and 0% chance of precipitation today. Sounds like it might be fairly nice for a minute by early afternoon and then temperatures will be falling again. We're finally getting a little bit of winter here, but I don't think we're going to get enough to cut the bug population for the summer.
I need to get laundry done, and maybe get out to the store for a few things. But first I need to get me and the felines fed. As always, a nap would be nice too.
Our Governor here in NJ has been over reacting since the November Snowstorm had a similar effect on commuters and Some Schoolkids being trapped in their schools overnight too.
You are having better temperatures than we are, 3 degrees, Yuck !
Interesting, I will be watching this one in a little while as I try and keep warm, this room is down to 65 degrees being a corner room with original windows and the Kitchen which usually runs colder is 69 degrees. The kitchen only has one short wall on the outside of the house which is likely why. Yesterday I drove around a while since the car had not been used in over a week and picked up the largest McDonalds Coffee which is only a $1 and here I am when not typing with my hand wrapped around it to warm my fingersparityanimal wrote: »TESTING JACKET POTATOES IN THE SLOW COOKER!

I will say that when I saw Mom's Meatloaf in Your post my mind flashed to the Joe's Meat Market menu item
Momma's Meat Loaf $14 described as Real Italian Style Meat Loaf with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Likely not as good as Yours and Yours has Peas too My mind makes strange associations sometimes.
Just Think You saved most of $14 by making Your own and I am sure You have plenty of leftovers too.
Have a Good Day

Your dinner sounds good to me, The Teriyaki sauce likely ties the entire meal together.
Vegan White Cheddar ? Leftovers are a family tradition in this house
You mentioned that You thought it was totaled and as far as I recollect did not mention that they totaled it, I could also be wrong. I would feel bad if my car got totaled for several reasons, One paying for a replacement, another being that it is still under 18K miles and third that it was from a family member so driving it is a connection.Did I know, or did I tell you that they did total my car. Called me later in the afternoon. I will call them tomorrow to accept, as both the boys and myself seem to think its a good offer.

Are You thinking about a new car or a so called "Gently used off lease" model. If You went that route do You have a good trusted mechanic that can check it out ? I do not know if I would want car payments again.
Our Governor is wasting money brining and pre-positioning road salting and plowing equipment if there is a hint of snow in the forecast since back in November when he was criticized for the mess when the snow was worse than forecast. He does not take criticism well.Ok, dinner is sounding and smelling really good...think I should prepare to eat.

I have spent a night unable to get home, I could not even get the car out of the parking lot at work until they plowed the next afternoon
Eventually people forget I have heard no mention for example of that 1990s Crippling Snow Storm or the Ice Storm that shut things down for day. I was lucky enough to be on vacation for the ice storm down in sunny Florida for that one.
Before I forget a liitle before 3PM Wednesday we had a Brief but heavy visibilty reducing Snow Squall come through, By 3:15 it was out of here.

BTW, Here is a tongue in cheek faux news article
BY JOHNNY MO | JANUARY 27, 2018
CHICAGO — Climatologists are blaming record-low temperatures for the steep decline in Year-Round Shorts-Guy populations, resulting in a massive shortage of exposed, hairy, mid-winter calves, according to a new study released today.
“An increasing number of well-calved men are buying full-length pants for the first time since high school. This is incredibly dangerous, as their own family members may not recognize them and reject them,” said study author Janet Baker, as she adjusted the leggings she regularly wears to work, dinner, and bed. “This particular strain of men are known to typically ‘run hot.’ Their decline could single-handedly end the entire cargo short industry.”
“Guys who only own shorts are fully clothing themselves because of unprecedented, rapid shifts in temperature. Most of these guys have already known for years that their favorite college bands were lackluster,” said Gutierrez. We could be facing an extinction-level event, where these men are forced to become ‘socks-with-sandals’ guys.”
Scrambling to save the critically endangered men, a handful of privately funded chimera research labs are racing to hybridize Year-Round Shorts-Guys with Jeans-at-the-Gym-Guys.
“It is our last chance to save this species of American man.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! -3C/27F with an expected high of 8C/48F and 0% chance of precipitation.
Need to get the last of yesterday's laundry folded and put away, and need to feed the felines. I had leftover meatloaf for my breakfast, with mashed potatoes, gravy, and green peas.
And, of course, I need to clean up yesterday's food bowls. I might get out to Kroger or Ingles this morning for a few things. Or maybe Aldi. Probably not all three though. I'll likely pick one (probably Kroger, as I might decide it's time to buy gas and they have that) and stick with it, though Aldi, being so close to home, could always be a stop in on the way back.

Watched them make samosa's and the last of the video they dipped the samosa in something...wondering if you all know what kind of sauce that was? Love samosas. The ones at WF hot bar are to dough-y. Had a couple samosas when I worked Red Cross that our lab Indian person worked, she made them and they were delicious! I've never had another that good. (and that was maybe about 25 years ago!) Wow, time flies. If I only knew what that sauce was......

Good morning!
Roger glad you had the good sense to stay home! Just too cold outside to take chances.
Ted just sent me a pix of a clump of daffodils in my yard with big fat bud on them! That's early even for GA!!!
Today we'll go pick up the accident report. and take out trash, and such.. probably throw in a load of light/white into the washing machine.
And that's about it...from my 'busy' life these days.
Patience, patience, patience....arg!!!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and once again no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 11 degrees. It was cold outside, however I decided that with no wind chill I could handle it thus I did walk today.
Mini Review. I liked the new NS Chicken Paella, 220 calories and Total Carbohydrate 29g. I liked the taste and the fact that it was not too spicy, Loaded with peppers or hot.

I had suspected that You would be eating leftover meatloaf and sides. I have been eating Dinner for breakfast for a few days. Then for Lunch a lunch entree, Egg Salad on the 647 Bread for a mid afternoon snack followed by either a Breakfast or lunch entree at dinnertime.
I wonder if You will find any bargain foods at Kroger ? Yesterday my Brother cooked in the oven four large Perdue legs and thighs that cost a whopping $2.06

Since I have never had Samosa's I would not know good ones from bad ones. Too doughy does not sound all the tasty, The suspicious part of me wonders if they are that way to save money or to increase the weight cheaply.
As the Old saying goes,
My how time funs when You're having flies
That is early for Daffodils, The good news is that they handle freezing with no problem. So true, You want a copy of the accident report for the insurance company and I would keep a copy for my records, just in case.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Good morning!

Good Morning!
Is my computer playing games with me? I don't see a Feb 1 from Ed??
Roger I read several of the articles. May have to ban you from posting things from the UK..LOL!!! I loved this line:
"No wonder most cat owners are doolally." From the comment section of the article about Toxoplasmosis. So I have a new trait to explore....Doolally!! Made me laugh out loud!
Doing laundry right now is a breeze, start washer add detergent to the water as it fills, throw in the clothes and I may, or may not catch the rinse cycle for my Downy...(I have Costco Dryer Sheets as back ups) Ted takes dry clothes to my room, and tosses them on the bed, and sometime before I go to sleep in the evening things get folded or hung. Easy Peasy!
I am feeling MUCH better today! Both my leg, and my shoulder. I just have to remind myself not to over do...
I've also become a near pro at wrapping Ace bandage on my leg! I've fumbled with that process in the past, so I now count that as a new skill.
Ok, Computer announced its eleven oclock, and I have paperwork to fill out....

I swear I posted. Oh well, I did not say anything astonishing so not gonna bother reposting. I want a nap.0

Ed, enjoy your nap. Looks like you took a page from my book! I've done that as you and Roger know! Glad you're ok.
