Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 25 degrees. When I headed out there was no snow falling, the snow started by the time I was 2 blocks from home and was in the 1/2 or a little higher by the time I returned home. It is still snowing lightly here and according the the local news forecast it should stop shortly, South NJ is forecast to have more snow accumulation.

Still working on laundry, which should come as no surprise to anyone!
I really need to put the Laundry away, It has been washed and folded for days
100% chance of Precip here too. The weather forecast shows precipitation in the forecast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, That means four days with some sort of either rain, snow or a mix.
I watched a 50 seconds so far and it looked like they were making meatballs, then the breaded, egg washed and fried them in a somewhat flattened form and the rest shall be revealed when I finish watching the videoYou've Never Had Grandma's Classic Dish Like THIS Before!

Yes. I almost always oven roast the hash brown patties. Once in a blue moon I might pan fry them in a little ghee or butter. The sausage was the frozen, precooked pork sausage patties that I get at Aldi, and the pancakes were their handy dandy frozen ones that come 8 3-packs to a bag. The sausage is available in original or maple. I prefer the original.
Hmm... I like both original and Maple flavored, and with bacon, Thick cut regular, maple or applewood bacon slices. Every now and then We can find Bacon ends in the bargain section by the deli where they put the heavily discounted ends from the deli area. They work real well for flavoring things and You can usually find some usable pieces to go with breakfast too. I took some of the Ham ends and crisped them in the skillet, so tasty that way, much better than before they were crisped.

Yes, WF can be expensive depending on how you shop, and what you want. I have a Chase/Amazon C/C, (for years), and so the money spent is not what you might pay. Like some items are 'sale', or discounted, etc. I did good, much better than usual. I wanted Chicken Fried Tofu, and got it, and a smallish scoop of their vegan mac and cheese. and I left! Cost me $5 bucks...I've eaten the tofu twice and have at least one more serving and I've not eaten the mac&cheese yet. So I can hardly complain about the cost! Its when I give into impulse items that the price goes up. I really don't do that as often as I once did. And I was in a hurry, as I was picking Ted up on the street on my way to Trader Joe's. (Several blocks from Ted's home, and about 2 miles maybe 3 from Whole Foods). I'm not to great with guessing distance though.
I will never have a Amazon/Chase card. I got disgusted with chase when the gobbled up a credit card account that I had and jacked the interest rate way up. When I called them to ask for a lower rate all I was offered was take it or cancel. I cancelled and paid it off as soon as I could and I will never go back to anything connected to them.
Impulse buys in may case are always things I should stay away from and I have trouble resisting them which is why I let my brother do 90% of the grocery shopping. I do things for him also such as go to the Produce store when he is in the grocery store and but the Books he wants from Amazon. He refuses to buy anything online
You and distance and my brother and guessing how long he was out shopping
Here I am the wheelie that carries the can to the curb for garbage or recycle.Sooner or later I will need to get the house trash gathered up and into the wheelie and to the curb...Right now I'm enjoying a sweet cup of hot Taso Tea..Chai flavored with nice spices, etc. No milk, not even the nut kind. I learned to drink it that way years ago and so its a preference for it.
My SIL is in town from Texas, and after several attempts at communicating yesterday, we've managed to agree on a time and place!!
My phone just rang...once. and I cupped my palm over my Apple watch, which silences the ringer, but does not end the call...!! Very handy option these days.
Going back to check out the Spinach and Lima Bean Curry. To me, that sounds interesting. I can see Roger shaking his head...I guess I'd better not tell him I really do not like 'red sauce, or red gravy as you all call it) Everybody to their own taste buds, and what they grew up with.
Enjoy your day...I'm hoping mine gets sunny or something. (Planes are flying low into Hartsfield ....I can hear the planes!
Later...
I am guessing that the cupping the palm over the Apple watch only works with iPhones ?
I'm not shaking my head over the red gravy dislike, If everybody liked the same thing what a dull boring world it would be.
I can explain the low flying planes, that is so their white cane can find the runway I know the clouds are really low when I can hear the planes going over me and they are really low and I can not see them. At least the snow has stopped here, South NJ should be "Enjoying" it for a few more hours.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Still got that third load of laundry to fold and put away, and I need to get out to buy a few things. I'll wait until about 10:00 and lighter traffic for that.

I am sure you could make the bread and bake it in the oven. It might take a little bit longer, as most kitchens are not as warm as the interior of the bread maker and this will impact the rising times.
Since I can get the spatula all the way under the patties, and I try to wait until the first side is good and crisp, they don't fall apart.

Just a quick hello...I need to step into t he shower and then get on the road to ATL. Chiro appt. need banana's, and I think I'd also like some more of that Chicken Fried Tofu. Will go nicely with the sweet potato, steamed mixed greens, and the last drop of the white peppered gravy that I have in the refrigerator!
Roger are you allergic to all tree nuts? And since peanuts aren't really a 'nut' can you eat them? I sure hope so or else I will spend the rest of the afternoon today feeling sorry for you!!! See, my world would be very unhappy without any nuts at all! Also, I am very sensitive to poison ivy, but can and do eat pistachios and mangos with no apparent issues. ?!?!??!

Third Load of Laundry, When I get one load I do mine, since everything is colors I have no need to separate Whites from Colors. OTOH my brother has to do two on laundry day, Whites and Colors. Whites Get Bleach, Blueing and Boraxo in addition to Laundry Soap.
I would do that to if I had to drive through traffic, The only traffic I do drive in is the end of the rush hour when I go to Costco.
I shall pass on eating one of those as it sounds more expensive than the real thing, I had thought it was pulled pork until I read this "We made an amazing shredded jackfruit "pulled pork" burger with a mushroom and tofu based sauce"VEGAN ASIAN UMAMI BURGER

The Nutritionist my brother sees told him he was eating too many Bananas.
I can eat most tree nuts, Black Walnuts and English Walnuts, Pecans, Hickory nuts, Brazil Nuts and more. Peanuts also do not bother me and as far as I can remember they are a legume and a Nitrogen fixer too.
Since I do my darnedest to steer clear of Poison Ivy I do not recall if I am sensitive or not, I likely am based on the nuts I am sensitive to.
Good Luck with the Chiro and shopping

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! 9C/50F with an expected high of 16C\61F and 0% chance of precipitation.
We have a party to attend tonight, so I need to decide what, if anything, to bring. Last time I didn't bring anything, but, as always, did get there early and helped a lot with the set up and organization. I could be lazy and make a big tub of cheese dip and add in that large bag of tortilla chips I just bought. Not really feeling in the party mood just yet and would really appreciate a weekend free of activities.
I did get all the laundry finished and put away yesterday!

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 30 degrees. The Streets and most of the sidewalks were OK, Except that where the sidewalks crossed the streets many of those areas had lumps of snow thrown there by the Plows so I did 50% or more of the walking in the streets. Tonight's weather forecast as of last night is for snow moving in during the evening hours and enduring through the night into early Monday.
Although I did not walk yesterday the MFP says that I burned 738 calories while shoveling the sidewalks and driveway.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! 12C/53F with an expected high of 15C/60F and 100% chance of precipitation.
Party was OK. Main foods were fried chicken (this IS the south) and a tasty surprise of pulled beef with barbecue sauce, because one friend's mother (a caterer) overcooked some beef, but only to the point of making it unsuitable for her purposes. Rather than throw it out, she offered it to her son, who slathered it with barbecue sauce and brought it to the party. I must say it was perfect for pulled beef!
Might get out for a couple of things today, depending on the rain pattern. But nothing is critical.

Hi!
I came back here to check on one of the vids. and discovered I didn't post. ???
So, here I am, back again.
Doing some reading, and not much else. I'm having a 'Do Nothing' day. I think we should start a trend...'DoNothingism'. LOL!! So far its working. And the outside is mysteriously dark for 1:30 pm..so I think I'll add 'Nap' to my list for this day. Now I'm hearing what I think is thunder. I'm seriously SURE its time for a nap!
Later...0 -
Oh, why I came back...(with a flash of lightening, and some very, very loud thunder. )
I've had canned lotus root...but would like to try steaming some from fresh..and I love Bok Choy...so looks like a natural for me... Also glad to see the vid on expiration dates...Obviously these laws requiring them were not thought out with a spin to reality.
Millennials not happy owning houses? Feature that. (Snark intended)
Amazon Supermarkets?? Really? From what I read, small stores, maybe buying out a small chain store group...I'm just shaking my head.
More very local thunder following flash of light.
Nap time!!

Hi
I'm home and decided last night not to walk today due to the weather forecast and Therefore no money was found. The Temperature outside the door is 34 degrees. There appears to be 3 Plus inches and the road looks slushy add in that there are piles of snow at the foot of the sidewalk and driveway from overnight plowing and getting to the street could be rough. They have already made three more passes down our little street and it appears that they are likely done plowing it. My brother and I will be outside shoveling later.
I just went out the front door and took a couple of shovels full of the snow which is wet and heavy and according the trusty wooden yardstick is 3 inches deep. It would appear that I may be able to drive up to the bank and deposit with some cash back my Pension Check.

Party was OK. Main foods were fried chicken (this IS the south) and a tasty surprise of pulled beef with barbecue sauce, because one friend's mother (a caterer) overcooked some beef, but only to the point of making it unsuitable for her purposes. Rather than throw it out, she offered it to her son, who slathered it with barbecue sauce and brought it to the party. I must say it was perfect for pulled beef!
Might get out for a couple of things today, depending on the rain pattern. But nothing is critical.
I had Chinese Takeout Yesterday, It was Sunday AKA Funday
I still have the 3 complete Chicken wings in the refrigerator, Hopefully once they are microwaved they will still be crispy, Likely not however. I also have some Baked Pork Loin slices and from the ShopRite a Perdue Baked Chicken Breast, Add in the Uncooked Bacon, and the frozen Fried Kielbasa and 4 Thick Cut Pork Roll that were also fried and frozen and I seem to have a surfeit of proteins on hand. I will likely freeze some of the Chicken Breast, it is a 2.7 pound monster I do want to get the wings eaten and the Chicken Breast deboned as Garbage pick up day is in the near future.
The Pulled Beef sounds tasty to me, and being overcooked so to speak was likely really tender too.
Southern Fried Chicken what a surprise to serve in Your area
Sounds good too, No Instant pot, The closest thing in the house is the rice cooker that might work if watched, I know it gets to above boiling having seen the rice cooking through the glass lid. We do have a 8 inch homemade pot pie vacuum sealed in the freezer section.Veggie Loaded Chicken Pot Pie In The Instant Pot
Boneless Beef Shortribs, Not Shortribs without the bone IMO. I have had Korean style and regular ones in a BBQ sauce, I'm not sure about these with ranch dressing in the sauce. It took me a while to acquire a taste for the NS Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Pizza.Mississippi Beef Short Ribs - Food Wishes
They lost me when they mentioned bacon jalapeno poppers as one of the recipes, I suppose I could skip over that one when watching the video.4 x 3 Ingredient recipes 2 try 1 time in your life!
One Nit Pick, where they use 3/4 cup vegan "chicken" broth or vegetable broth, IMO it should be called Mock vegan "chicken" broth or vegetable broth or something similar, Opinions ?sautéed lotus root & bok choy in clear garlic sauce | Mary's Test Kitchen
I have Seen Lotus Root and it is a weird looking thing with those holes in it.
I think this one will be very interesting since I am trying to reduce carbs and I love cookies. I am not worried about Gluten Free. Looking at the Preview image one of the 6 looks like a Peanut Butter Cookie and another possibly a lemon cookie.Low Carb Cookies Recipes! Gluten Free & Keto
Thank You for the Videos and Have a Good Day

Hi ValerieGardenKatGardens wrote: »Hi!
I came back here to check on one of the vids. and discovered I didn't post. ???
So, here I am, back again.
Doing some reading, and not much else. I'm having a 'Do Nothing' day. I think we should start a trend...'DoNothingism'. LOL!! So far its working. And the outside is mysteriously dark for 1:30 pm..so I think I'll add 'Nap' to my list for this day. Now I'm hearing what I think is thunder. I'm seriously SURE its time for a nap!
Later...
Ever since my brother lost his beloved not wide screen LCD monitor AKA 4:3 Aspect ratio to a thunderstorm he powers down the computer and turns off the power strip. Back in the day before High-speed Internet we did a decent business replacing modems that got fried in lightening storms
Post, what's that ?
I am already hearing shoveling sounds outside and it is not even 7AM. According to my brother we lost Satellite TV overnight, he never shuts off the TV It is working again this morning so my best guess is that the Overnight heavy wet snow blocked the signal.
I like the Chinese Moon Cakes made with Lotus Root FWIW. If You look at this Wikipedia link they have a image of the Lotus Root Moon cake and explain that it as follows. A mooncake is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節). The festival is for lunar appreciation and moon watching, when mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy.GardenKatGardens wrote: »Oh, why I came back...(with a flash of lightening, and some very, very loud thunder. )
I've had canned lotus root...but would like to try steaming some from fresh..and I love Bok Choy...so looks like a natural for me... Also glad to see the vid on expiration dates...Obviously these laws requiring them were not thought out with a spin to reality.
Millennial's not happy owning houses? Feature that. (Snark intended)
Amazon Supermarkets?? Really? From what I read, small stores, maybe buying out a small chain store group...I'm just shaking my head.
More very local thunder following flash of light.
Nap time!!
Later...

Lucky You if You can sleep in a loud Thunderstorm.
If they had done some research ahead of buying their home they would not have been surprised by the associated costs, Considering that Millennial's are a very connected generation that is somewhat surprising to me.
The wall street Journal said Amazon is also interested in possible acquisitions to strengthen its supermarket strategy.
As I see it they speculating, They could be right or wrong, Your guess is at least as good as mine.
I have to wonder how many people confuse Sell by with use by dates ? The milk my brother bought yesterday has a sell by date and the UHT milk I use has a Use by date, Not very consistent even within the same type of product. BTW who hasn't cut off the mold on a chunk of Cheddar cheese and eaten the rest ?
Have a Nice Day

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! 2C/36F with an expected high of 8C/45F and 0% chance of precipitation.
Sounds like a good day to get out and buy a few things.

Hi! Had a nice visit with my SIL and niece Leslie. Leslie lives in Marietta...SIL in Texas.
Freeze warnings out for tonite, with some sleet/light snow south of the city. So not at my house, which is fine by me.
When I got home this afternoon I started reading and watching (the meals for one, etc.) the posts....and Rogers links..the really notable Wiki link for Moon Cakes. (definitely not the moon pie and RC of the south Ed!!! LOL!) There are several coffee and dessert places close by me, and I'll be watching this fall. I may have to break a 'no meat/dairy' house rule, but I am a sucker for trying things..at least once. The one with salted duck egg will not be on my list to try. LOL. Just doesn't even sound tasty.
That may be all I know! ???? really. Ouch!
Going to start a load of laundry shortly. I'll at least have one thing done today, besides a clean kitchen sink, and 2 clean cat boxes. I'll take my small victories and just grin.
Hope you've both had great days...Roger careful with that heavy wet snow. (but you live in Jersey, and I know you know all about it.) Ed...stay warm tonite. Down to mid 20's tonite. I mean why not...everything is blooming..like the cherry trees, peach trees, etc.) Troubling is its going south of the city, where the fruit trees are. I'm guessing that our mountain apple trees are not blooming yet.
Ok, I'm rambling...

Hi
I'm back home from walking and no money was found. The Temperature out the door was 22 degrees. The Streets are in good shape and as usual most of the sidewalks are OK, excluding at the corners where many have not shoveled out the cutouts to the street. Thus I did most of my walking in the streets.
