    Good Morning...2 days in a row I beat the clock and posted before noon!

    Not much happening here... rainy, gray...etc.
    Even Tom E. doesn't want to stay outside for the day...Yesterday he was more than happy to be out in the sunshine!

    Jack may be dropping by after they go to church. Meanwhile, I am planning a 'brunch' for today. Tofu scramble, and an orange, maybe salad....

    Back later to watch the video's and read articles..

    Later...

    Tonight I tossed this together.I don't quite know what to call it. It's something between a frittata and a quiche.

    I started by preheating the oven to 350, while slowly caramelizing a large onion, diced, with several cloves of garlic, minced, in a 10 1/2 inch cast iron skillet, with half a stick of butter.

    Meanwhile I peeled and thinly sliced a large Russet potato and parboiled the slices to soften them some but not fully cook them.

    I removed the onions and garlic to a bowl, melted some more butter in the skillet, and layered the potatoes to cover the bottom of the skillet, setting the skillet back on the burner to let the potatoes begin to brown, lightly seasoning the potatoes.

    After spreading the caramelized onions and garlic over the layer of potatoes, I stirred together 4 extra large eggs, some shredded cheese, and the rest of that opened carton of whole milk.

    I poured that mixture over the stuff already in the skillet and then mixed more shredded cheese with some bread crumbs and sprinkled that all over the top.

    I moved the skillet from the stove top to the preheated 350 degree oven and baked it about 35 minutes, until the top was all puffy and golden brown.

    After cooling for 10 minutes, to firm up, dinner was served.

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 35 degrees. The possible snow in the forecast has not made an appearance, Possibly North of here. The Rain started before 10PM and is still falling.

    Howdy y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 9C/48F with an expected high of 10C/50F and 90$ chance of precipitation.

    I may go to a memorial service this afternoon but really don't want to go anywhere. Too darn many people dying!

    That looks tasty and Your description of the ingredients and cooking process is close to what I thought it was when I looked at it. Just curious what type of shredded cheese, White American or Mozzarella ? Plenty of Butter too :smiley:

    Hi Valerie
    Looks the same here too, I could hear the planes going over low in what is a landing pattern, Looking up I could not see them as the clouds are really low.

    I do not blame Your cat for not wanting to stay outdoors given Your description of the weather. I seem to remember that Your weather is not looking that nice for the week ?

    Brunch sounds like a good plan to me, Enjoy

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! 7C/45F with an expected high of 12C/54F and 20% chance of morning showers.

    If I want a nap it needs to be this morning as we are taking some cats for routine vet stuff this afternoon.

    I used a shredded Mexican blend in last night's layered dinner. White and orange colored.

    Good Morning!
    I'd have been here sooner, but fell into the Vegan Video's Trap!! LOL! Some neat ideas...but some totally eluded me! Oh well..I think I may actually try the jerk burger mix, probably would be good with just the catsup.
    Not raining now, that's coming later today. Tomorrow, afternoon showers, etc. I'm not seeing any major amounts of rain at least not in the next few days. Hopefully their dour predictions of 4-6 inches of rain in ATL is flat out wrong!
    Interesting thing on my street yesterday...some possibly teen ager, was walking thru the cul-de-sac and stopped by my yard to pick a few of my daffodils...What?? I reached up and opened the blinds and I could see that she clearly saw someone was watching...so she sorta nonchalantly dances her self over to the mail box and sticks one of the daffodils between the flag and the box...then she dances herself over to Lu's crepe myrtle and puts another one there....she looked around the circle, and picked a whole fistful of Capri's Daffodils. At that point I called 911. I don't know if they actually came out or not. But she did go back down the street. About a month ago we had a 'dancer' with a phone and earbuds dancing all around the cul de sac. She didn't seem to go into anyone's yards, and there weren't any flowers at that point. I have to wonder if there is a house in the area where hard drugs are available. For sure it wasn't pot.
    Reason I called 911..Lu wasn't home, house on other side is empty (for sale), I don't know if Capri was home or not, and the Dominicans on her other side were not home.....I was sorta feeling like the lone crone over here!

    Tom's crying at the door, and wants to go outside. I offered him the chance a bit ago and he turned away and walked into the living room....now I guess I'm supposed to jump up and let him out??? OK, I'll let him outside! :)

    Later...(couple of articles I'd like to look at.)

    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 27 degrees with a light wind. There was this big white glowing thing in the sky when I went out the door and it was still showing on my return home around 5:50 AM :)

    Hello Ed
    Good Luck with that Nap, I would find trying to get one in the morning nigh unto impossible :smiley:
    Yet another vegan burger!
    It looks OK, However reading the description shows Pineapple, I think I would pass on the Pineapple, a Burger Vegan or otherwise should not be sweet IMO.
    And some vegan sandwiches!
    Interesting, I see from the description that three of then use Jackfruit.

    Hello Valerie
    I hope that prediction for rain totals is wrong, That could be a problem, The Atlanta area seems to either get to much or not enough rain from what I see reported.

    My brother tends to keep an eye out the window in the living room, often getting up to see if he does not recognize what he sees. There have been reports on the news from other areas in the Metro New York that people masquerading as sales types knock on the doors and if no answer they go into the backyards and break into the home.

    We had a Pushy Solar power type at the door a while back, It seems that someone called the police as two prowl cars showed up, spent some time while the "salesman" sat on the curb working his phone, eventually he got a lecture and a ticket. My guess is that they ran a check on him and the company and that the ticket was that they had not gotten a Peddlers permit beforehand. Once the police were done with him he ended up standing on the corner for a while before being picked up by a company marked van. My Other guess is that the dropped of a bunch of door to door sales people all over town.

    FWIW we have a policy of never buying from door to door sales type or from a phone call. Not to mention that they go on a never buy from these people list which we explain to them :wink:
    Tom's crying at the door, and wants to go outside. I offered him the chance a bit ago and he turned away and walked into the living room....now I guess I'm supposed to jump up and let him out??? OK, I'll let him outside! :)

    Later...(couple of articles I'd like to look at.)
    I am guessing that You are not surprised by Tom's behavior, Contrary Cat that he is. Jump Up, You are in better shape than either of us if You can jump up :smiley:

    Have a Nice Day, Enjoy Your articles

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! 6C/42F with an expected high of 6C/43F and 100% chance of precipation.

    I ran the dishwasher overnight and it has been unloaded, and I have already cleaned up yesterday's food bowls. I need to feed the felines.

    Good Morning!
    Waiting for the dishwasher to finish rinsing so I can 'hop' into the shower...see Roger, I can hop and jump up! jk!!!
    Hopping left me with a really really sore spine about 13 years ago, when Olivia was 2 and had learned to hop. She and I hopped all over the house that night. (baby sitting)...she was fine next morning...Grammie could hardly move! Jump up from a sitting position, generally means standing up faster than normal!!! LOL!!

    Going to see Dr. Pat this afternoon, and then come straight home, because its Tuesday, and Jack will be calling at 4p. I have a couple of phone calls to make from the 'accident' almost 4 weeks ago....I'm waiting for my check also. Afraid it might be lost in the mail. It was sent 9-10 days ago...I mean why not??? One more danged thing...

    I will be back later. Couple more emails needing attention have shown up sine I started here....also that video with the frozen stuff that was dipped in chocolate....It DID not need to see that!!! But, now seen its calling my name...loudly! LOL!! On another day it might have caused me to eat that last chocolate bar that's hidden way on the aux pantry. BUT, scale was so kind to me this morning that Nope, can't eat that. But it sure looked good! :)

    Hi Valerie
    I had something similar when I started my job in 1982 where I was unloading a trailer a day as part of the driving and delivery system. I was fine the first day, then I went to get out of bed for day two and sore was a understatement.

    I tend to totter into the shower, it is a small one where I can reach out in all directions and touch the walls and not be at full extension. OTOH it does give a bit of comfort to be able to lean back against the wall and still be under the water from the shower head.

    That brings up two questions. Am I the only one that takes the bar of soap when it gets to small and puts it into a plastic coffee cup to soften and swell for further use before turning it into a soap paste ?
    Second question, I seem to recall someone saying that Shampoo is good for cleaning soap scum ? I tried it on the glass door and had no success, that could be that I was doing it wrong ?
    Going to see Dr. Pat this afternoon, and then come straight home, because its Tuesday, and Jack will be calling at 4p.

    I hope the Doctor visit went well, The news last night covered a check that had been overlooked and then lost 4 years previously that the problem solving Lady on the TV station was able to get reissued. Of course the issuer did check to be sure it had never been cashed first. 9 to 10 days is a long time, unless the Atalanta mail is really slow compared to ours where mailing a payment to processing date is only a few days. I track both accounts with emails showing balances, deposits and checks processed.

    Lucky me Frozen things dipped in chocolate do not tempt me. The Chocolate Bar can not be to hidden if You know that it is in the Aux pantry :smiley:

    Have a Nice Day
